Chloe

Left high and dry and deeply in debt by a con artist ex, the only way out is a job I swore I’d never do again. Manual labor. It is the opposite of my dream job, plus I don’t want my parents pressuring me to take over their tree farm. But the pay at Pine Ridge Prunery is good, as are the benefits. One of which is hella-sexy arborist Brad Calhoun. We make a good team—in more ways than one—but I plan for this job to be temporary while Brad’s angling to settle in for life. The last thing I need is to depend on another self-employed man for a job.

Brad

I’ve never believed in love at first sight. Then I met Chloe. What’s not to love about a strong, confident woman who can wield a chain saw with ease? When I discovered she needed a job, I had no hesitation in recommending her for the open position at the tree service where I work. Except I’m stuck with two problems: dating coworkers is against company policy, and Chloe insists we aren’t compatible despite our chemistry. Then why does my heart float whenever she’s around?

This set-in-Canada (in the fictional small town of Port Paxton, the same as Spark of Attraction) story is available through Amazon both in digital to buy or through Kindle Unlimited, and as a paperback. (It will be available as a paperback through other worldwide online bookstores shortly; it just takes a little longer to populate through Ingram Spark so it may not show up at other stores for a few weeks.)

I came up with the concept of Brad and Chloe and started researching and jotting down notes for their story last December, and started writing it in January. Then real life took a dark turn and I found myself unable to work on it except in short segments, sometimes weeks apart. There was more than one time that I texted a friend, certain I was going to have to withdraw from the collaboration and maybe get it written by next year. Luckily my friend had more faith in me than I did, and I managed to finish Brad and Chloe’s story–and get it edited–in time for its regular release day. Thank heavens for good friends and my fantastic editor who was equally supportive of my abilities to meet this deadline.

I’m so thrilled to finally be able to share this with you!

If you haven’t read my Texas Hook-Up yet, now’s your chance to download it (legally) for free. And don’t forget that there’s a link at the end of Texas Hook-Up for a second novella featuring Jeff and Brian, the two cats who get up to more mischief in Gettin’ Hitched.

A tale of misjudgment, forgiveness and a second chance at love.

MIA

I am a woman in a male trucker’s world, which means I’ve developed a thick skin and a potty mouth over the years. When an EMT that I sorta kinda like decides he doesn’t like me, no skin off my nose. I can take Quinn’s snark and dish it right back at him. Until he finally realizes he’s in the wrong about me, and he goes and does something decent, like apologizing. Now what do I do with him?

QUINN

I come from a screwed-up family that I admit affects how I judge people. When I overheard Mia talking about living with someone named Jeff while she was dating my buddy Brody, I jumped to the wrong conclusion and I’ve been giving her grief ever since. I’ve finally realized I screwed up. Big time. So I’m trying to prove how sorry I am but she’s making me jump through hoops. Rightfully so.

Being around Mia, away from her truck, has let me see the soft squishy parts behind the thick armour she’s donned. But going from hating someone to trusting them is a long swing. Now I have to convince her—and myself—I’m worth the effort.

My book All I Need for Christmas is a super spicy erotic romance and is available as an ebook, paperback and now also as an audiobook through Audible and Apple Books.

So if you love Canadian-set romances, don’t miss these books!

In the past three years, Megan has only been sexually satiated a few times. A few glorious, hot, submissive times, with an emphasis on submitting.

Oh, it’s not because she’s single. It’s because her  sexy, dominant sculptor boyfriend, Ryan Porter, lives half a country away. She spends her time patrolling the Arctic as a Mountie, while Ryan spends his time creating art in central Ontario. Ryan bends metal and wood to his will to reveal their hidden beauty, the same way he does with her…in the bedroom.

But Megan wants—needs—more from their long-distance relationship than phone sex and longing, and Ryan, too, has realized he craves more from Megan than her occasional submission. With their annual holiday sex-fest upon them, can they stoke the flames that burn between them into the best Christmas gift of all?

To the hundred people who have already left at review for Spark of Attraction on Amazon, thank you, thank you, thank you! To my wide readers, please don’t forget that leaving a review helps other readers find it too! It doesn’t have to be a long 3 paragraph statement, just a simple “I loved this book” or “Mal and Ellie were really cute together!” That’s all it takes. Thanks!

Malcolm
I always keep my promises. Like the one I gave to my best friend that I’d never date his little sister, Ellie. While I got my electrician’s license and started my own business in my home town, Ellie moved away to the city and got married. Now widowed, Ellie has returned to Port Paxton and discovered the house she’s moved into has electrical problems, so I’m the first one she calls. That’s when the sparks really fly. Looks like my promise is about to go up in smoke.

Ellie
When I moved away from Port Paxton to the city, I thought I’d like the opportunities, the festivals, the faster pace. I quickly learned city life could also be lonely. Now I’ve moved back to my hometown and taken over a gorgeous Victorian house that needs tender loving care. When my secret high-school crush Malcolm Walsh walks in to solve my electrical issues, a spark of attraction flares between us. But will that spark grow into a smoldering long-term affair or will it sputter and fade away?

Unashamed

When contractor Max Moretti overhears home owner Hayley discussing a ménage fantasy, he and his partner Noah McNaughton plan to fulfill her fantasy.

One passion-filled night turns into two, and Max and Noah find themselves faced with a bigger challenge—convincing Hayley that forever is better with three.

After her cheating ex-husband stole her trust and her brother stole everything else, horse breeder Nikki Kimball is intent on reclaiming her independence. When her carefree neighbor Dillon Barnett and his enigmatic best friend Brett Anderson offer to help her out, both in the stable and the bedroom, Nikki relearns how to trust and discovers joy.

Ten years ago, the two friends fought a bitter battle for their high school crush. Although Brett longs to be the man in Nikki’s life, he is forced to decide if he is willing to lose Dillons’ friendship to gain her heart.

As their unusual relationship progresses, Nikki is faced with a conundrum she never expected to face. While her heart wants them both in her life, in her bed, society demands she choose between the two men. Now Nikki has to decide what price she is prepared to pay to keep the happiness and independence she’s finally found.
