Travis King was the love of my life,
Until he broke up with me out of the blue over a text.

Now, seven years later, he’s back in our small town and there’s no way to avoid him.
Especially not when I bring a very special patient to the local ER where he’s doing his residency.
The intake woman asks for her father’s name.
I tell here there is no father, but one look at Travis, and I know he knows.
He saves my little girl’s – our little girl’s- life,
And now that the danger has passed, he wants answers.
At first, I push back, but then I remember what Amelia asked Santa for this year: a daddy.
Now that her’s is standing right in front of her, how can I keep them apart any longer?
Travis is amazing with her, and they immediately form a bond,
Can a big misunderstanding in our past be left behind where it belongs?

Can the three of us finally be the family I always dreamed we might be?
Or will all I get for this Valentine’s Day be another broken heart?

Welcome to Madame Allegria’s, where your Krave will satisfy your every desire…

Eve Tesler is an outcast on the New Earth colony of Everton. Curvy, unmarried, and shy? Among Everton’s glittering and superficial society, those are three strikes against her.

Incredibly lonely, she does something uncharacteristically reckless…

She pays the steep price for an unforgettable night with one of the Krave—legendary alien lovers with unparalleled skills and non-human—ahem—abilities in the bedroom. Only, she never expected him.

When Khiva’s home planet was destroyed, his race scattered among the stars and survived any way they could…including selling their infamous ‘services’ for credits. Now, working at Madame Allegria’s elite brothel on a human colony, Khiva’s only goal is to earn enough for passage off Everton.

But when a beautiful, lonely human female visits him one night…suddenly, he craves her with an intensity that should frighten him while her soft moans and lush curves drive him to madness.

It was only supposed to be one night…

Now Eve can’t stay away.

There’s something about a small town that whispers romance.

Perhaps it’s the night sky chuck full of stars that are undiluted by city lights.

Or, maybe it’s the history couples share growing up that makes love that much sweeter.

Perhaps it’s the slower pace, where love weaves itself into the fabric of laughter, heartbreak, hard times, and rocking on the front porch.

Whatever it is, it’s magical and I’m thrilled to share it with you in this new collection of small town romances.

The Cowboy Songwriter's Fake Marriage
When a man needs a mother for his child, he looks in an unlikely place: the newspaper.

Her Older Brother's Best Friend's Forbidden Kiss

From Best Friend to Husband
Widowed young, romance is the last thing on her mind. That's usually when it comes knocking--she just didn't expect it to bring her dead husbands brother along with it.

Visit three small towns in this contemporary romance collection and let the romance wrap you up like a patchwork quilt.

Breaking the law to protect your family seems reasonable...until its not.

Detective Luca’s life is shattered when he’s accused of a revenge killing.

A corpse turns up and it doesn’t look good for Luca. The body belongs to someone who harassed his precious Mary Ann, and the circumstances of death point a grisly finger at Luca. Suspicion spreads quickly that he has morphed into a killer and he's black balled.

But Luca's problems don’t end there. While he scrambles to prove his innocence in the murder case, a mortal enemy is on the loose and has him in his cross hairs. Its a vicious serial killer he once put behind bars, a psychopath hell-bent on revenge.

Luca has nowhere to turn for help. With the department closing in one side and an escaped serial killer on the other, Luca is left on his own to clear his name and capture the escapee before he gets to Luca.

Failure means he loses his freedom – or his life.           

An epic and addictive roller coaster ride of a romance that’s unforgettably heart-wrenching and jaw-dropping, brought to you by Wall Street Journal and USA Today Best Selling Author, Willow Winters.

Our love story isn't a tragedy but it sure as hell started out like one.

I grew up in the life, and learned to hate everything in this town.

Everything but her. She was my constant through it all.

Just a look would tempt and torment.
Just a touch would singe and soothe.
I only survived because she was by my side.

I feared the danger would bleed into what we had.
After all, she was too good for this world. But I was too far gone to push her away.

I was Laura’s downfall.
Problem was, she was mine too.

Hard to Love is book 1 of the Hard to Love, romantic suspense, series.

"This highly addictive read had me glued to its pages, and unable to put it down. This story will have you jaw-dropping, gasping for breath, and begging for more!" Sarah, SWBR Book Blog & Reviews

Dream big. Set ambitious goals. Be surprised with the outcome!

At the age of 68, while still recovering from his second knee injury, Dr. Zeev Gilkis decided to give himself an unusual present for his 70th birthday.

He dreamed of running a full Marathon, and completing the seventh decade of his life seemed to him the ideal timing to do so.

Perhaps this ambitious goal wouldn’t have been so unusual, had he been a very physically active person in his younger years. But Zeev is a cancer survivor who began his ‘career’ in sports relatively late, in his mid-sixties.

Along with his plans and dreams he kept a diary where he recorded the ups and downs, practical tips and original thoughts that crossed his mind in this long, challenging journey.
The key motive of this book is running. But it is not just running. It is a whole process of learning yourself, feeling your body and a lot of psychology.
The author sees sharing his experiences, as his mission in life to inspire others to set ambitious goals and go for it. Setting a goal is motivating and causes us to take out from ourselves the best!

Join Zeev in this adventure and discover that age doesn't matter. You too can achieve anything you truly dream of.

In his first two books: Unlock Bliss, A Memoir of Getting Happier and The Secret of Life, A Memoir of Getting Younger, Dr. Zeev Gilkis shares with readers the story of his struggle with cancer, some important and original thoughts and insights into life and happiness, such as that “Age doesn’t matter!” among many others.

In a very friendly manner and a conversational style, he describes some of the key processes in the brain, the role of the immune system and how to care for it, the story of how he got into sports in his sixties, and much more good stuff.

Her numb fingers scrabble over upholstery, over metal, over glass, searching for a way out. Water stings her eyes as she’s dragged downward, clinging to her last breath as she’s absorbed into the cold dark below…

When Gloria Carmichael’s body is found broken and bleeding on the sidewalk just days after knocking on Detective Charlie Winters’ door begging for help to locate her father’s will, Charlie’s instinct is confirmed: her latest case is about more than just a simple family feud.

The Carmichaels are famous in Salem Island for their large family and charitable work, but, moments before she died, beautiful, trustworthy eldest daughter Gloria called Charlie to say she had uncovered a terrible secret that would break the mystery of her father’s death wide open.

With the voice of her murdered sister ringing in her ears—pushing her to risk everything to bring justice to the innocent—Charlie takes matters into her own hands. She won’t let another family break apart like her own, and she knows the answers she needs are hidden somewhere inside the Carmichael home.

But as Charlie races to confront her main suspect—a file containing evidence that will devastate the Carmichael family on the car seat beside her—she’s rammed off the road and over the edge of a nearby cliff. Fighting for breath in a sinking car, Charlie has to survive or other innocent lives will be taken. Everyone involved is keeping secrets, but only one twisted soul is prepared to kill to keep theirs…

An addictive crime thriller with twists at every turn, you won’t know what hit you after you’ve finished Girl Under Water. A perfect read-in-one-sitting rollercoaster ride for anyone who adores Angela Marsons, Robert Dugoni and Mary Burton.

First published in 2001, American Gods became an instant classic—an intellectual and artistic benchmark from the multiple-award-winning master of innovative fiction, Neil Gaiman.

Newly updated and expanded with the author’s preferred text, this commemorative volume is a true celebration of a modern masterpiece by the one, the only, Neil Gaiman.

A storm is coming . . .

Locked behind bars for three years, Shadow did his time, quietly waiting for the magic day when he could return to Eagle Point, Indiana. A man no longer scared of what tomorrow might bring, all he wanted was to be with Laura, the wife he deeply loved, and start a new life.

But just days before his release, Laura and Shadow’s best friend are killed in an accident. With his life in pieces and nothing to keep him tethered, Shadow accepts a job from a beguiling stranger he meets on the way home, an enigmatic man who calls himself Mr. Wednesday. A trickster and rogue, Wednesday seems to know more about Shadow than Shadow does himself.

Life as Wednesday’s bodyguard, driver, and errand boy is far more interesting and dangerous than Shadow ever imagined—it is a job that takes him on a dark and strange road trip and introduces him to a host of eccentric characters whose fates are mysteriously intertwined with his own. Along the way Shadow will learn that the past never dies; that everyone, including his beloved Laura, harbors secrets; and that dreams, totems, legends, and myths are more real than we know. Ultimately, he will discover that beneath the placid surface of everyday life a storm is brewing—an epic war for the very soul of America—and that he is standing squarely in its path.

Relevant and prescient, American Gods has been lauded for its brilliant synthesis of “mystery, satire, sex, horror, and poetic prose” (Michael Dirda, Washington Post Book World) and as a modern phantasmagoria that “distills the essence of America” (Seattle Post-Intelligencer). It is, quite simply, an outstanding work of literary imagination that will endure for generations.

She's become a distraction that will get me killed. Especially once I discover her secret. Now, I have to do whatever it takes to protect her.

Soon a surprise enemy emerges from the shadows. Can I keep Gabriela safe or will neither of us make it out alive?

Death, defeat, or allow one’s carnal rage to take control and consequences be damned.”

A lone DeathEater has forsaken his clan. 

Leaving behind his previous life, Skharr starts building a future next to a dangerous forest in an unknown land.

He tells himself it is better than taking gold for questionable reasons.

A map that Skharr can use to live large for years… If he survives.

The old peddler watches him. 

Realizing the intelligence, the polished actions of the huge man is but an act. A carefully orchestrated semblance of civility, and shudders.

Of all the Barbarian hordes, the rumor was to never, ever upset a DeathEater.

And he had come here to unleash this particular DeathEater back into the world.

That’s what the note with orange juice and a muffin next to my bed says when I wake up.
That’s it. No phone number, no text.
I don’t even know his last name or where he lives.
I mean - really? We nearly make the king-size bed in our hotel room break down (twice!) and my ONS from last night doesn’t even bother to say goodbye?
Gosh, I hope I never see this jerk again.
But it seems like the Universe has different plans for me.
Because when I start my new job, guess who’s my new boss?
Right, Mr. I’m-so-handsome-and-I-know-it.
Getting a tooth pulled is fun compared to being his assistant.
He’s cold, arrogant and demanding, and nothing I ever do seems good enough for him.
If I didn’t desperately need the money, I’d quit right away.
That is until… the unthinkable happens.

When the fifth pregnancy test shows two lines, I must face the truth:
I’m carrying Mr. Bosshole’s baby!

Special Agent Niki Banks paused, narrowing her eyes at Taylor. "What?" Banks asked. "No lewd remarks about that? Something about handling, or how I'm going to take care of you?"

"Nah, I thought you would do a better job of it than I ever could," Taylor replied. "Besides, I'm only after empty relationships that have no meaning, where we'll go away happy, so there's no need for any handling like that. From you, anyways."

"So, what does that make me?"

Taylor paused to take a bite from his food, which consisted of some bacon and syrup-covered waffles. "A toxic attitude with delusions of awesomeness in high heels and a need to feel dominant all wrapped up in an attractive gift package that smells like a body that's been left out to rot in the Zoo for a week."

Banks' eyebrows shot up."Excuse you?"

Another bite of his food from his plate was taken before he continued. "I'm sorry, do you need me to make it more specific? Here, try this one then. You look like Eva Longoria, except more brawn than brains, probably can't spell Latina and obviously you don't care about showers. Which is okay; the government only wants you for your brawn anyway."

Banks narrowed her eyes. "Yeah, I smell like the three cretins you needed me to get rid of for you. Between the stench of fear and gasoline, I guess that does make for a pretty foul smell."

Taylor shrugged. "I showered at least."

Banks scowled at him. "You're a jackass."

"Correction," Taylor said with a grin. "I'm a jackass that can kill - what did you call them? Cryptids. A jackass that can kill Cryptids that's living here in the US, no less.

"Oh, great," Banks grumbled. "And here I am, stuck with a Jason Momoa wannabe Cro-Magnon Neanderthal with slightly better dental hygiene and a god-complex."

She sighed. "I don't get paid enough for this shit."

His name is Taylor McFadden, survivor of 83 trips into the ZOO. Now, he's retired, and yet his country needs his skills to save people in the country he calls home.
