It could be her fresh start. If only she can avoid falling for her boss... Eleni is in desperate need of a new beginning-preferably one that's far, far away from her cheating ex. So when she's offered a dance instructor gig at a remote tropical resort, she jumps at the opportunity. With a drastically clean slate like this, nothing can go wrong. At least until she meets Matteo, the resort's handsome dive manager with eyes deeper than the ocean. But the fuzzy feelings won't fool Eleni twice. After all she's been through, the last thing she needs is another potential heartache. Matteo isn't looking for love, either. He's more comfortable in the water than out of it, and finds the depths of the ocean a lot easier to navigate than matters of the heart. Besides, he needs to stay focused if he wants to eventually open his own free diving school. All he'll have to do now is ignore how his heart starts the funny dance whenever Eleni is close to him. Easy, right? But everything changes when Eleni is transferred to the dive center to work as Matteo's assistant. With the new forced proximity their best intentions go out the window -and it's not long before the line between business and pleasure blurs... Can Eleni and Matteo learn to overcome the wounds of the past and heal together, even if their ambitions and desires are oceans apart? Loving the Boss is a sweet contemporary boss/employee romance with lots of heart-pounding and toe-curling kisses. It's book one in Gems of Love series. It can be read as a stand-alone. Previously published as Pearl of Love. Grab your copy today and dive into this soul-stirring love story!

Law #1 : Never Bet on Love

It was just a simple favor between friends. Until it wasn’t… I’ve loved Gabriel for as long as I can remember. To him, I’m just his best friend’s little sister. So when Gabriel asks me to be his fake girlfriend during a trip to his über-rich French grandmother’s estate—where Gabriel’s cousin is about to get engaged to Gabriel’s ex—, I know I’ve got to say no. First, I don’t want to be Gabriel’s means of getting back at his snobbish ex-girlfriend. Plus, a make-believe relationship with him is risky, and it will almost certainly lead me to heartbreak. Still, I’m not able to turn Gabriel down in his moment of need. (His pleading grey eyes make me absolutely powerless, darn it.) So now I have to figure out how to guard my heart against the one man I want to give it to the most, all the while I pretend to be his. But it can’t be that hard, can it? Saving the Brother's Best Friend is a clean and wholesome friends-to-lovers romance.

Saving the Brother's Best Friend

Law #2

It was the perfect plan. Until the fake feeling turned all too real… All I ever wanted was a teaching job at the prestigious Riversmith school, but getting them to even consider my application is a challenge. Then I find out that Nick, a famous writer and gorgeous single dad, has connections there—and that he's willing to use them in exchange for one tiny little favor. All I've got to do is to be Nick's fake girlfriend for a few weeks... and somehow pretend I'm not at all attracted to him. If it all works out, Nick will prove to the judge who decides his son's custody case that he's a solid family man, and I'll have my ticket to my dream job. The plan was flawless. Too bad it never included what to do when the lines between reality and fantasy blur...and a fake relationship feels all too real.

Getting to happily ever after, however, will be infinitely trickier…

A suspenseful small-town sweet romance

Big Flames & Small Lies

She was just a job. Until she wasn’t. If one thing is drilled into any newbie private investigator, then it’s the need to maintain a firm line between business and pleasure. I perfectly agree with this sensible rule, too. At least I did until I met my first field assignment—the fiery and entirely too intriguing Ruby. Sleuthing her was supposed to be only a job for me. One that would show my uncle (and boss) that I was a skilled detective who didn’t have to stay at some dusty desk in our office. Yet, the more time I spend with Ruby, the more trouble I have remembering where that essential line lies. And why crossing it would be such a bad idea… Falling for the Undercover Agent is a clean and wholesome fake identity romance. If you love flawed but loveable characters and swoony kisses, then you'll adore this fifth book in the Gems of Love series. Each story is a standalone, with the perks of meeting recurring characters throughout the books.
