Arrogant quarterback playboy Benjamin Chase is the hottest player on the team.

And guess what…he only has eyes for me.

But I finally landed my dream job as a club doctor and have no intention of falling for a guy. Especially one who wears his jersey like a second skin.

He thinks I’ll swoon for his athletic body, those piercing blue eyes, or his charm like most women. But I’m not like most. I keep a wall around my heart because someone once showed me that what men do best is leave.

But when an old knee injury makes us work one-on-one, we exchange our banter, lingering touches, and secret kisses. And suddenly it’s what’s underneath that jersey that has my heart racing and the ice melting.

I try to resist him but his end-game is chasing me.

Resisting Chase is a full-length steamy dual POV standalone romance, featuring a hot Quarterback who falls head first for the sassy yet fun-loving heroine who makes him work for her.

Being relocated to a small-town PD in Colorado was the last thing I needed. Being assigned to babysit the captain's daughter didn't help either. She's quirky, young, and unfortunately, the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. Cap only has one rule. Keep my hands to myself. Turns out to be harder than it looks. Now I live in her house, and at night I hear her cries. She's haunted by her dreams just like I'm haunted by my past. She may be crazy, or she may be the only key to unlocking the dark secrets of this town. The clock is ticking, and the closer we get, the more dangerous it becomes. We both heard the captain's warning loud and clear......too bad neither of us listened.

Book 1 of the Timber Creek Series. Series will contain interconnected standalones.

My whole life, I have only dreamt of being one thing. 

A ballerina. 

From the age of three, I was obsessed with tutus, leotards, pointe shoes and everything that dancing had to offer.

After years of hard work, sweat and tears, I finally was able to make the dreams of the little girl in me come true.

Years later, I’m dancing for one of the most respected companies in the world, leaving out a dream and living the best life that I could have ever imagined. 

Everything was going according to how I’d mapped it out.

Except…

I hadn’t mapped out two little blue lines skating into my life after a one night stand.

Now, there’s a possibility of me losing the dream I worked so hard to achieve. 

And it’s all thanks to a professional hockey player with pretty eyes and a nice smile. ​

Skating The Blue Line is Book 1 of the Chicago Dark Knights Series. It can be read as a complete standalone.

A beautiful vow renewal weekend turns into chaos when this family gets together...

You are formally invited to the wedding vow renewal ceremony of the wealthy couple Barrett & Regina Jensen.

Regina planned a beautiful vow renewal weekend to get the family together after Barrett’s cancer scare, so what could possibly ruin it? The family, of course.

Living in different parts of the country, Alani, the baller’s wife, Gisele, the attorney, Lauren, the L.A. stylist, and Kai, the serial entrepreneur come home for their parents’ ceremony.

Always too busy with their careers, resentments, or simply avoiding each other to keep secrets, these siblings haven't all been in the same room together in five years.

Between the bickering, old flames resurfacing, and surprise guests, this wasn’t the weekend Regina hoped for, but it may be just what everyone needs.
