The moment I laid eyes on her as she dangled from a string of Christmas lights from her roof, I knew I was in trouble.
Gorgeous eyes, adorable smile, and a tenacity that I found oddly charming.
And so freaking sexy.
No woman should have that much power over a man. Yet, whenever I found myself around her, I couldn’t contain the need to kiss her, devour her…make her mine.
But this town is known for interfering and causing problems in even the smallest situations, which is why this has to stay a secret.
Every kiss, every second spent in her presence has to be between the two of us.
And yet, unforeseen circumstances force me to put myself out there even when I desperately just want room to recover from my injuries and discover who I am again.
I’ve seen the way she looks at me.
I’ve felt the way she shudders in my arms.
Rumor Has It, this isn’t going to turn out like I planned.
I’m a stay at home mom that loves to read. Some of my favorite titles are Pride and Prejudice, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and Horatio Hornblower. I started writing when I was trying to come up with suggestions on ways I could help bring in some extra money. I came up with the idea that I could donate plasma because you could earn an extra $500/month. My husband responded with, “No. Find something else. Write a blog. Write a book.” I didn’t think I had anything to share on blog that a thousand other mothers hadn’t already thought of. I decided to take his challenge seriously and sat down to write my first book, Jack. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed writing. From there, the stories continued to flow and I haven’t been able to stop. I hope my readers enjoy my books as much as I enjoy writing them. Between reading, writing, and taking care of three small kids, my days are quite full.
This is a enemies to lovers, wakes up married, sports romance! You get one bed + grumpy sunshine! Do not miss out on this one!
🏈Review🏈
Annabelle is a social event planner who needs a break after her last event and where better than a cottage where she can enjoy the weather and the water. What she didn’t expect was to find out the cabin had been double-booked and she now finds herself staying with a grumpy football player as both refuse to leave.
Callum is recovering from an injury and all he wants is to be alone however the roommate he didn’t want refuses to leave. They lay down the rules and agree they will both stay however a decision to gatecrash a wedding and enjoy a little too much alcohol leaves them married. He doesn’t believe it is a mistake and is determined to convince her as well.
The sparring between them was humorous, the chemistry intense and I really enjoyed how they handled everything after their impromptu marriage which only reinforced they were meant to be. I really enjoyed the audio performance by Lexi Maynard and Brandon Utah and the only thing that would have made it better was if he had a more intense brogue.
This was supposed to be a simple bargain… Falling in love wasn’t part of the plan.
I know better than to trust powerful men—especially one whose world is built on secrets and careful control. He wanted a way to get close to me. I only wanted to keep my distance.
But someone out there is watching us. Waiting to destroy everything I’ve fought to keep safe.
Now the only person standing between me and ruin is one I can’t dare to trust…the man who makes me believe in stolen kisses, whispered promises, and moments that feel too much like forever.
Walking away will keep us safe.
But some risks are impossible to ignore…even when the cost could be everything.

Sparrow is Comanche—son of a war chief, heir to a legacy of hunters and fighters—but disease stole the body he was meant to have. While others ride to glory, he is left behind to guard the camp… until the world proves that survival is never fair.
When soldiers descend in fire and gun smoke, Sparrow makes a final stand that turns myth into blood-soaked truth. He dies a warrior at last.
And that should have been the end.
Instead, Sparrow awakens in Tir Na Nog, a brutal world of magic, monsters, and living systems where power is earned—or taken. Here, gods bargain, death is temporary, and strength decides everything. Given a second life, a restored body, and bound to a dying trickster god, Sparrow must carve his place in a realm that makes no allowances for weakness.
This is not a story about chosen ones handed easy power.
I finally have everything I’ve ever dreamed of: a successful business, an amazing family of friends, and a man who made me his goddess. Just goes to show that the moment you think it’s all going to work out, fate comes in like a wrecking ball… or in my case, a random woman with a jealous streak and a steep set of stairs.

I’m holding the only thing I’ll ever worship in my arms, happier than I probably deserve and about to get married. But the past can be a vicious vixen, and she just might rip everything away from me before I can seal the deal.

I never tap out. Never give up. It’s K.O. or keep fighting, and now I have the perfect opportunity to get my Spitfire back where she belongs. Only Frost is still in the way. At the end of it all, I’ll make sure I’m the one that sticks in her memory.
Her grandfather’s sacrifice was supposed to spare her from this life, but his death has pulled her right back home to the ranch she thought she’d left behind for good. Now she’s fighting with her brother for the right to save it. She has a plan but no one will listen to her.
Her brother’s solution is to bring in outsiders, that’s what she says. He claims without the club’s help, the ranch is doomed.
But I see the genius in Della’s vision.
And this ain’t our first rodeo. Literally.
Now we’re up against more than just her brother. Between small minds, big business, and a bunch of folks who don’t think Della belongs here, she’s determined to prove everyone wrong. And I’m determined to prove to her the spark that’s igniting between us is a whole lot more than basic attraction. Can we protect what’s rightfully hers—and ours—or will outside forces burn our new dreams to ashes?

Pretending to be engaged to my enemy might not be my brightest idea.
But it is definitely necessary.
On the brink of the biggest car show of my career, I start to panic because it’s the first time I have to see my ex since our break-up.
Spoiler alert: it wasn’t clean or amicable.
Then when Elliot Thorne’s ex-fiancé shows back up in town, I devise a plan for both of us to get what we want: a buffer from our exes with a dash of revenge.
The problem is Elliot takes his role to protect me too seriously.
He brings me food while I’m working to make sure I eat. He even silences the self-doubt I feel on a day-to-day basis.
And before I know it, he has me on my knees in my garage, and on my back on the hood of my car.
The hate I’ve harbored toward him melts away as fast as my panties, and I soon realize we have more in common than I thought.
Then he tells me a secret that makes me reevaluate our entire relationship.
Now I’m left to consider if something fake could be real…
And that maybe it’s about time I admit that Elliot isn’t my enemy after all.
Three brothers have built their lives with one rule—work hard and don’t rely on anyone else to carry your load.
Noah runs the ranch and keeps everything moving. Luke works the horses, intent on establishing a respected breeding program. Zane stays in town, focused on his position at the local school, keeping his distance from the ranch life even if he’s never far from it and always willing to lend a hand.
When Geraldine arrives to step in and take over her uncle’s vet clinic, she brings skill, independence, and a past she doesn’t talk about. Someone from that past isn’t finished with her, and it doesn’t take long before it follows her to the ranch.
Aoife steps into the horse program with experience that strengthens what Luke has begun building, but she’s also left something behind in Ireland that hasn’t let go. Trouble doesn’t stay where it started.
Harper has always been part of Sandy Plains, steady in her work at the library and clear about what she will and won’t accept. When Zane comes back into her life after walking away years earlier, she doesn’t forget how easily he left. Trust isn’t something she’s again willing to risk.
Past choices start catching up and each of them has to decide what they’re willing to face, what they’re willing to fight for, and whether they can trust the people standing beside them when things stop being simple.
The brothers’ lives have always been about hard work.
Now it’s about whether they can build something strong enough to last.
Kane Morgan was never supposed to be anything more than one reckless night.
Turns out, he’s the enemy, and he knew exactly who I was when he was making me forget my name—while screaming his.
Now, Kane wants more than just revenge on my family. He wants me as his wife.
After a lifetime of heartache, all I want is to marry for love.
But Kane’s ripping that dream away, forcing me into a marriage of revenge.
He’s cold, ruthless, and calculating, and yet he’s everything I can’t seem to resist.
Because when we’re alone, he shows me a different side of him.
I hate that he comforts me when my past creeps into my nightmares. That he believes in my dreams. And most of all, that every stolen moment with him feels like it could put my broken pieces back together.
I shouldn’t be falling for my new husband. He gives me everything I’ve ever wanted … except the one thing I long for—his heart.
