Jamie Cook is a work-in-progress. He’s always wanted what his parents have: a good marriage, lots of kids, and financial security. He thought he’d have the first two with his ex-girlfriend while the third would come once he got his house-flipping business off the ground. When his ex doesn’t subscribe to his five-year plan, he makes Cook Brothers Construction his sole focus. Then he moves next door to April Williams, a sassy single mom he can’t stop riling up. Throw in her matchmaking mother-in-law, who’s set her sights on Jamie being April’s knight in a leather tool belt, and a house threatening Jamie’s sanity, and it should be a recipe for disaster, but Jamie wants this three-month project to last forever. That’s if he can stop being the neighbor from hell and prove to April he’s not just flipping a house—he wants to flip her heart. *** Work In Progress is a full-length, neighbors to lovers house flipping romantic comedy that can be read as a complete standalone and is book 1 in the Cook County series.

Work in Progress

Temporary love. Temporary feelings. Until a late-night encounter creates a permanent longing for bliss of another kind… Makenna Lewis cringes at any mention of the word commitment. Her past experience with the L-word did little more than teach her that anything involving feelings is a dangerous path indeed. She no longer wants or needs a relationship, but she still enjoys men. Even if her attachment to them is only temporary. That is, until a late night encounter with the delicious Daniel Winters turns her preconceived notion of commitment completely on its head. He makes her feel things she vowed to never feel again, and when Daniel pushes for more than she’s willing to give, she falters. What do you do when something that you’ve known to be so wrong in the past feels so damn right in the present? If you’re Mac, you run and hide. Lucky for Mac, Daniel isn’t the type of man who takes no for an answer.

Temporary Bliss

It started one night in Vegas over a naughty cocktail and dirty banter. Eight months of bedded bliss later, Gilly Nelson says the two words Ezra Baker never saw coming: “I’m pregnant.” Twice-divorced Ezra has always acted first, thought it through later. Except in Gilly he finds an equal; a strong-willed, independent woman who doesn’t need his money or kind heart to get ahead. She just wants him. Career-focused Gilly never imagined she’d be thirty-five, single and pregnant. Except when Ezra suggests they date rather than just mate, she finds herself wondering whether the man she’s been looking for has been in her bed all along. If they can survive raging hormones, house renovations, and the realities of childbirth, surely creating a family will be a walk in the park...right? *** Working For It is a full-length house flipping romantic comedy that can be read as a complete standalone and is the fifth and final book in the Cook Brothers series. Working For It is Ezra Baker's story.

When playing the player becomes more than a game Matt Taylor’s motto: “I’m the King of Cut N Run. I wine them, dine them, then slide inside them, making sure I get up, get dressed and get out before they can even utter the words second date. Mia Roberts’ motto: “I’m queen of the chase. I meet them, greet them, be seen with them, then leave them. A social butterfly, I’m happily single and happy to stay that way.” The players have been found. The challenge has been set. Whatever happens, they’ll soon find out that playing the game can get you played in the best possible way. **The Game series will be a series of interconnected standalones that can be read separate from the Bliss series**

Now, committing a work violation has become a forgone conclusion and the chase just became a lot more complicated. Lucky for Ronnie, Jax loves breaking the rules. Lucky for Jax, Ronnie does too. *** Work Violation is a full-length, family friends to lovers, professor/adult student, house flipping romantic comedy that can be read as a complete standalone and is book 2 in the Cook County series.

How do you know when fake turns real? Abi Cook lives her life by her own rules. She works hard, plays hard, and knows who she is and where she wants to be. Following a repeat one-night stand with the dashing Dr. Cade Carsen, Cade asks Abi for a favor: be the fake girlfriend on his arm for the duration of his father's mayoral campaign. Never one to turn down a challenge, she doesn't hesitate. I mean, who would when all that's involved is a little fake girlfriending with a side of hot sex, and with Doctor Hottie no less?

Game #3

Game Saver

This is a story of Sean Miller, a dom that will have your panties diving for cover with an eyebrow quirk.

Finding Bliss

I have a craving. A dark urge I’ve failed to resist despite years of trying to do that very thing. I’ve forced myself to hide behind a mask, a perfect orchestration to hide my true self. After I met her, my wants and needs, my inner most desires changed. She encouraged me to embrace who I truly am, and she was willing to do anything and everything I wanted, giving herself to satisfy my most carnal appetite. Then everything in my carefully managed world came crashing down around me. A moment in time, a loss of control, and the very thing I cherish was nearly taken from me. My fate now lies in her hands. The very life I’ve built for myself…everything I’ve ever done now waits in purgatory, all caused by a lack of focus at a time when my most concentrated attention was needed. The very thing I crave may now be the end of me.

Crave

Boy meets girl, boy wins girl, boy nails girl -- boy’s gone by morning. I think for sure it must've been a dream because there’s no way a guy could look like that, touch me like that and be so in tune with me, then just disappear leaving me with nothing but a good story to tell my friends. When he walks into my bar three months later, everything I thought I knew and what we’d had disappears in the blink of an eye and the blinding light of the three-carat diamond on his fiancée's hand. It seems what I thought was a dream is now my most complicated reality, and I've got absolutely no idea how to fix it. Or if I even want to.

One Shot
