Cameron Dempsey is known for his strict code of honor. The law is black and white, and he’s there to enforce it. But his peaceful life in Georgia changes with one request from his old friend: bail Addie Johnson out of jail. It’s a simple request, although unexpected. He remembers her as a cute kid with glasses and her nose stuck in a book. And he was overprotective of her that one summer. The memory of knocking out the front teeth of the football player who said something inappropriate about her still brings him a dark pleasure. But that’s not who’s waiting for him on the other side of the bars. The woman sitting there is gorgeous. And fake. And she’s hiding something. Addie Johnson knew she might end up in jail one day. Not for her soon-to-be ex-boyfriend’s mistake, but for her own secrets. She’s put a lot of people away over the past few years as a hacker. And that’s why she has an alias. Rarely did a man look twice at her because they thought she was a computer genius with a secret life. But Cameron remembers her as she was before, and he’s not buying her act. He’s the only person that makes her want to risk exposure to prove herself. To help him crack his case. To finally hope he notices and likes her…the real Addie.

Hiding From the Sheriff

She kissed a stranger on Valentine’s Day. To most women, that probably wasn’t a big deal. But for Chelsea Henderson, it was everything. The type of moment she read about in romance books. A perfect fantasy when that tall, handsome stranger pulled her into his arms, told her she was beautiful, and kissed her in the moonlight until her insides ached for more. Granted, it was to prove a point to his clingy ex, but aside from that minor detail, their kiss, her first kiss since high school, was absolute perfection. A picture-perfect way to start her new life and job after leaving the Army with more internal than external scars to show for her time in service. But her mystery man with a gorgeous smile and strong shoulders doesn’t remain anonymous for long. It’s Blake Rossi. Self-made millionaire. Co-owner of Rossi Construction. And to make her embarrassment complete, he returns to Virginia expecting to resume his position as the company’s accountant. Too bad his family failed to let him know they gave away his job...to Chelsea. Be My Valentine is the fourth book in the Rossi Family Series. It’s a contemporary romance about a woman finding her way after nearly two decades in the military, a man discovering love again, and a hilarious family who gets into the middle of everything.

And even though that was nearly fifteen years ago, his disreputable past is again up for discussion, amplified by his tattoos and loud motorcycle. His past doesn’t bother Zoey. She knows why he ended up in jail and everything he’s done since to build a great life and career. He just needs to live that life somewhere else before her overprotective family discovers their year-long string of hook-ups.

Frankie and the Single Dad

Ashley Another new town. Another new job. Her second attempt to work at a coffee shop. The last try ended with meeting the local fire department. Not in a sexy meet-and-greet with hot firemen kind of way, but more like exploding coffee machines and making the local news situation. But since job openings in this small town, nestled deep in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, are limited, Ashley Kratz will try her hardest not to blow up this coffee machine and keep her job. Will this be her last move? No. Not even close. But, if she’s lucky, she can stay for a little while, let her daughter finish middle school, and refill her skimpy savings account. Because with her ex-husband out of prison, it’s only a matter of time before he uses his money and power to find her, demanding full custody and destroying her hopes for her daughter’s future without his toxic influence. Running is her only choice. Like always, she’ll take it one day, one town, one paycheck at a time. For now, it’s just her, a coffee machine that hates her, and handling middle school math. Relying on anyone is a risk she’s not willing to take. Doesn’t matter how sweet he is. Or hot. Kyle Work. Sleep. Repeat. For the last fourteen years, operating Rossi Construction with his five siblings provided enough of a distraction to keep the grief at bay. But, losing the only woman he vowed to marry ever kicks any thoughts of dating to the back burner. As in back, back, back burner. And then Kyle Rossi meets Ashley. But Ashley’s mediocre coffee-making skills aren’t why his life is thrown out of its perfect routine. No. It has more to do with her amusing sarcasm and the ability to make him lose his breath with her beautiful smile. So, when she loses the coffee war and her job, Kyle is right there, creating a position for her with his company. It’s a win-win situation. She can support her daughter, and he can figure out what or who is chasing after her. Because behind those distracting smiles, Ashley is scared. Her fear ignites a protective streak that Kyle hasn’t felt in a very long time. He doesn’t realize exactly how far he’ll have to go to keep her and her daughter safe. Runaway Lover is the first book in the Rossi Family series. It’s a small town, sexy contemporary romance that will make you believe in fate and second chances at finding the love of your life.
