I ran away from the glitz and privilege of my famous New York City family to this small-town Texas college to find myself. I didn't expect to find him... ...the muscular, tatted bad-boy who would soon become my obsession. He was broken, lost, and voiceless ... just like me. His eyes smoldered me with one look. His touch awakened the woman inside me. And through his lips, his perfect, plush, kissable lips, he drew out the inspiration deep in my soul I did not know was there. I needed to believe that he could save me. I wanted him to help me find my voice at last ... the voice that would set me apart from my tragically perfect family, the voice that would finally break me free ... If only he could hear a word of it. NOTE: The College Obsession Romance series centers around a group of friends and the relationships they form during their time at a small-town Texas school. They are angsty, steamy new adult novels with HEAs and NO cheating. Although they are obsession-themed romances, there are no stalkers or psychos!

And I definitely won't stare at him no matter how many times he parades in front of me wearing next to nothing. What a cock tease. But when a hard night lands him at my front doorstep - desperately in need of a place to stay - I get one look into those rich blue eyes of his ... and realize our story is far from over.

Hard for My Boss

They were enemies as children. They fell in love as teenagers. They had no idea the storm that awaited them as adults. Time slows down for no one. That's a lesson Beau and Caleb were about to learn. With each chapter taking place five years later, this heart-tugging novel will take you on an emotional journey through the lives of two men - who couldn't be more wrong for each other. Caleb Fletcher was a shy and lonely kid who desperately wanted a friend. He never dreamed that friend would come in the form of the troublemaking Beau Whitman, who was the neighborhood nightmare on the other side of the fence. Their friends hated each other. Their families kept them apart. But Caleb refused to believe that Beau was a bad person. He knew deep down, the troubled kid was lost and hurting inside. It would be that same belief Caleb carried with him into teenhood, when emotions grew more complicated, and the fine line between good and bad blurred. It would be his hope that drove him through his college years, when the consequences of their pasts would catch up to them. It would be their love that was tested into adulthood, when their lives were on the brink of achieving everlasting happiness or falling to pieces. Can Beau and Caleb's love withstand the test of time? "When I See You Again" is a stand-alone novel. It contains potentially sensitive or triggering subject matter. Reader discretion is advised.
