I finally realized that I don’t deserve to be treated like crap by anyone.

Dakota thought everything was great with her life going as planned: a climbing career, friends, and a fiancé. But the day came when she realized that nothing was what she’d thought, and that was when it all snapped: Dakota finally started fighting back for what she deserved.

True, it had left her without job or fiancé, but Dakota had gotten something back even more important: an opportunity to chase the important things. So when her friend Lauren suggested an off-the-cuff road trip where anything could happen, Dakota agreed, not expecting much; she certainly didn’t expect much from the handsome but rude bearded man she and Lauren met on the beach in San Francisco, who spoke to her with judgement and dismissed her as a Daddy’s girl, not knowing anything about her.

Burnt out from running one of his family’s high-end resorts, Ryan Baxter took over the Baxter Holding’s Hostel project to get a little distance and figure out the important things in his life. Thus begins a few months of self-discovery and beard growing while he plots his way forward. There was no way he could’ve anticipated meeting a very cute, very standoffish brown-eyed girl on the beach who would change his life. But the second he sees her, Dakota has lodged in Ryan’s mind, whether he likes it or night.

The timing isn’t right, the location isn’t ideal, and it’s definitely not love at first meeting. But when you just can’t stop thinking about someone, you learn something important: there’s always tomorrow.

The small Montana town near the Kooskia reserve seemed like the perfect place for Juliet Montgomery to hide from her not-so-law-abiding family. But when her peace is shattered by a break-in and threatening phone calls, it's clear someone back in New York knows where she is. It's time to plan her getaway, and fast—but first, she needs to tie up a few loose ends and find out exactly what the town's sexy cowboy sheriff is hiding.

Sheriff Quinn Lodge has enough demons of his own to know when someone's hiding something, and he's determined to uncover what's beneath Juliet's uptight, city-girl exterior—preferably one piece of clothing at a time. But when their chemistry goes from fizzy to full-on explosive, things start getting complicated.
How can Juliet stay beneath the covers with Quinn, when doing so means blowing her cover?

Each book in the Maverick Montana series is a standalone story that can be enjoyed out of order.

Recording contract. Adoring fans. Industry respect. I have everything I always wanted. But I’m so close to f*cking it up. All because of him.

Liam Knight. My musical idol. My inspiration. My savior.

He stirs up feelings I’ve forgotten, memories I’ve suppressed. I want his lips on mine. I want his hands on my skin. I want his arms wrapped around me, never letting go.

Liam says I’m a star. We both are. He says we’ll burn brighter together.

But I know better.

I had it all once. And I lost it. I’ll never let that happen again.

Because, sometimes, after a star burns out…

It collapses into a black hole, consuming everything in its path.

It’s always been about the money.

To them. Not me.

Women swoon over my wallet, but it’s a façade. A ruse.

I keep to myself and always will.

Besides, one thing I’ve learned is you never pursue romantic relationships at work.

Especially not as the boss. The billionaire. The top shit.

A girl from my past shows up at a fundraiser. The one that got away in college.

She needs help changing the city for the better with a children’s home, but I have different ideas.

Crazily enough, the more money I spend, the more time I get with her.

And this time, I’m willing to pull out all the stops.

It’s hard not to slip back into my old ways, but this woman is the one.

She makes me want to be a brand new man.

Every good girl deserves a bad boy. ~ Weston

Charming, poignant, and sexy, When You Got a Good Thing pulled me in with its sweet charm and deft storytelling, and didn't let go until the very last page. It has everything I love in a small-town romance! ~USA Today Best-Selling Author Tawna Fenske

She thought she could never go home again. Kennedy Reynolds has spent the past decade traveling the world as a free spirit. She never looks back at the past, the place, or the love she left behind—until her adopted mother’s unexpected death forces her home to Eden’s Ridge, Tennessee.

Deputy Xander Kincaid has never forgotten his first love. He’s spent ten long years waiting for the chance to make up for one bone-headed mistake that sent her running. Now that she’s finally home, he wants to give her so much more than just an apology.

Kennedy finds an unexpected ally in Xander, as she struggles to mend fences with her sisters and to care for the foster child her mother left behind. Falling back into his arms is beyond tempting, but accepting his support is dangerous. He can never know the truth about why she really left. Will Kennedy be able to bury the past and carve out her place in the Ridge, or will her secret destroy her second chance?

AUTHOR INTERVIEW

Q: What makes the Misfit Inn series special?

The Misfit Inn is a quartet of southern romance novels focused on the family saga of the Reynolds sisters and the loves they find along the way, as they come back together as a family after the death of their mother, proving that the family you make is stronger than the one you're born into. Just like my Wishful series, The Misfit Inn quartet is intended to highlight everything that I love about living in the small town South--all the quirks, foibles, and dreams that provide a fabulous backdrop to contemporary romances about stubborn, independent women and the men who love them.

Q: Who would dig these books?

The Misfit Inn is a southern romance series written for anyone looking for family saga romance, where you get to follow the loves of each member of a generation. This quartet explores the relationships between sisters and what the bonds of family truly mean. Many of my readers also enjoy the books of Susan Elizabeth Phillips, Kristan Higgins, Melanie Shawn, Ava Miles, and Jill Shalvis.

Still, he’s happy with his life as a teacher and coach at Holly Point High School, until his quiet life is upended by the beautiful, brilliant, and hurting Maggie. Blindsided by the intense attraction, Will wonders if pursuing the woman of his dreams will answer the question of what’s been missing in his life.

But now Amy has the opposite problem: she and her new unit mates are beginning to like each other too much, a temptation that’s impossible to avoid while living with three delicious firefighter hunks. Can Amy douse her unrelenting feelings while searching for the arsonist, or will everything go up in smoke?

Sexy, strong, older. One of my students' father.

It’s against the rules to feel the way I do about him, but I can’t help myself.

But that’s not what gets me about him.

It’s the way he looks at me. As if he already owns me.

In Sarah Loudin Thomas's "A Shot at Love," Fleeta Brady's rough-and-tumble childhood means she prefers hunting to more feminine activities. She never expected her family's brooch might be how a fellow hunter turns her attention from competition to romance.

I'm "The Baby Maker."

Get Married. Have a child.

These are the only two rules to get my inheritance.

Neither of which I want. My billionaire life doesn’t play well with either idea.

But no one asked me. My father’s company is up for grabs, and whichever of my brothers makes it to the finish line first wins.
