Contractual Obligations

When Lily is offered a ticket out of the career and life she hates, she takes it. Even if it means signing a contract to marry the attractive but aloof Sebastian Miller for five years.

Her job is simple: play the happy house wife in person and on social media and she will get awarded a million dollars of her inheritance. That money is more than enough for her to start a life on her own and away from her controlling parents. It should be easy.

But four years in, she’s more than ready to be done with this marriage. She’s pretty sure her husband hates her, and she longs for the freedom the end of their contract will bring—a freedom that is threatened when she’s called to meet Sebastian’s father, the orchestrator of this whole sham. She worries he will try to extend their contractual marriage.

What he does is worse.

Forced to move across the country due to a promotion for Sebastian is her worst nightmare, but her only choice is to pretend to be fine.

She prepares for the last year of their marriage to be more cold indifference, but being stuck in a new city shows a sweeter side of Sebastian that Lily never thought possible. Gone is the indifferent man she knows. In his place is the kind and patient man of her dreams.

But their clock is ticking—only one year of their marriage remains. Will they find love or will contractual obligations get in the way?

Failure to Thrive

Ruth Murray thought she had seen the last of Knox Price when she walked away from him at their high school graduation.

After always coming in second place, she was ready to be done with their rivalry and make something of herself.
But then he went on to create PATH, a company that retrofitted cars to self-drive, cutting automobile accidents in half. His name was in everyone’s mouths, especially her parents, who still compare her to him even ten years later. His success is a sore reminder of her own stagnant career.
When he mysteriously steps down as CEO of his company, she hopes this will be the reason he finally disappears from everyone’s minds.
Until she walks into work and sees Knox is the newest executive of her company and, technically, her boss. All she can hope is that he doesn’t remember their little rivalry, because he now has the power to make her life a living hell.

Knox Price should be on top of the world.

He’s created an invention that saves lives, made his parents proud, shares his company with his best friend, and has more money than he knows what to do with.
And yet, he feels nothing.
He’s a robot, pretending to be human but never actually feeling a thing. It’s taken over his life, so much so, that his best friend suggests for him to step down and find passion in helping a different business build something great. When he returns to his hometown, he’s content to spend extra time with his parents and work on a new app for a company he doesn’t own.
That’s when he sees the woman he could never forget.
Ruth Murray is as feisty and hardheaded as ever, and instead of feeling the emptiness he’s grown used to, his heart starts beating again from the very moment he sees her.
The only problem? She hates him and he doesn’t know why.
With the media clawing to get more information about him, and a ruthless boss out to fire Ruth for any reason, he should stay away from her. But the longer he’s around her, the more he realizes he can’t keep his distance.

Forces of Nature is a dual-POV, standalone book that will be part of an interconnected three-book series. It features the rivals to lovers, forced proximity, and only one bed trope. Spice and a HEA for the two leads is guaranteed!

Family Business Series #1

Forces of nature 

Violet Moore is not having a good week.

It starts with a fight between her and Charlie Davis—the usual bane of her existence—and ends with a drink thrown on her. Then, she somehow agrees to be fake friends with the same man to ensure her best friend’s wedding goes off without a hitch. And last but certainly not least, her apartment collapses, and the only person with an open room is Charlie himself.

Violet isn't sure what's going to be worse: the wedding or her living situation.


There are few people that are more confusing than Violet Moore.

Charlie has never understood her, but the quick-witted, five-foot-three schoolteacher has a huge grudge against him. Why? He has no clue. He’s not proud of his immature spats with his former college friend turned enemy, but he can never seem to stop himself—not when it's her he's fighting with. He’s content to get this wedding and their fake friendship over with so they can go back to their normal fighting lifestyle.

Then he finds her crying and needing a place to stay, and it changes all of his plans. Feelings he had long since buried rush to the surface, and he finds himself unable to stop thinking about the beautiful, but confusing, Violet Moore.


They haven’t agreed on anything in six years, but can one wedding, a ruined apartment, and being stuck in one house somehow bring them together?
