The World Between Us

About The World Between Us

An overshadowed brother in a wheelchair and a beautiful woman who needs something from him. Is there any chance for love?

Next to his super successful (and handsome, don’t forget handsome) rock star brother, Dylan Sinclair doesn’t expect any woman to look at him for a second longer than it takes to stare in horror at his wheelchair. Especially not a goddess like Stephanie Rowe.

But she does notice him and he can’t help but wonder if it’s because of the access he could give her to his brother.

Stephanie is a woman on a mission. She has a lot to prove to break out of a soul-crushing job and show her family she can be successful on her own terms. Even as she realizes there’s more to Dylan than meets the eye, she can’t get distracted from building a life her parents can be proud of.

And falling for an unemployed white boy who can’t move his own feet is not winning her any points.

But then she discovers Dylan has been keeping a secret that would catapult her to success and everything she’s been working towards . Now all she needs to do is betray his trust.

Bossy Mess

About Bossy Mess

They say never mix business with pleasure. Well, they have never met my sinfully delicious boss, Wesley Hartford.

He is a brooding mess of damaged goods, with the jawline of an Italian underwear model, and not to mention my office nemesis.

We are so beyond off-limits; we should be classified as restricted.

He makes me want to break every rule, and everything about him screams a bad idea.

So, naturally, I ran straight into his arms, and apparently his pants.

Nothing about us fits. We are beyond opposites. He sucks the joy out of every room, and I make it my life’s mission to leave a trail of unbridled joy everywhere I go.

Mr. Hartford is an emotionally stunted work-o-holic that never wanted love or a family.

Yet here we are in a fairy-tale relationship. Him the dark horse, and me the human unicorn, and we have the type of passion that, well… broke the bed.

But as soon as those two pink lines appeared, I knew there was so much more on the line than just our jobs…

Every fairy tale must come to an end, but this may be one boss I just can’t quit.

Stuck with the Grump

About Stuck with the Grump

Lying to my best friend wasn’t the worst thing I did,

His little sister was.

I retreated to my family’s shared cabin after a company scandal.

Instead of fuming alone, there was my best friend’s little sister, all grown up.

When the storm washes the road away, we get really cozy.

She still has that smart mouth on her.

Unafraid to bite back and put me in my place.

Her killer curves and sinful pout make me go primal.

But she’s out of bounds.

Pals before gals,

Mates before dates,

Bros before… you get the point.

I came here to escape my problems,

Instead, I got one more that I can’t keep my hands off of.

My reputation and my oldest friendship is on the line,

And she says she won’t give her heart away again.

Well, I’m going to take it anyway.
