Schooled By The Mountain Man
Mountain Man Summer
He was the older brother she wasn’t supposed to notice. Now he’s the lakeside mountain man who can’t stop noticing her.
Tessa never planned to return to her family’s crumbling lake cabin in Cady Springs -- especially not to fix it up herself. But the chance to sell it is too tempting to pass up ... until she realizes who lives next door.
Liam Rowe. Her childhood crush. Her friend’s too-hot older brother.
Once untouchable, Liam is now rugged, capable, and maddeningly helpful -- with hands that know their way around a cabin and eyes that somehow see right through her. From collapsing porches to unexpected wildlife, Tessa finds herself relying on Liam often. And the more time they spend together, the harder it is to ignore the sparks.
She came back to sell the cabin, not fall for the man next door.
She came to let go of the past. But her old adolescent crush might just be her future.
Liam didn’t expect the girl from next door to reappear as a full-grown, do-it-herself beauty. He’s content keeping to himself ... until she crashes into his world with her stubborn independence and that curve-hugging toolbelt.
She’s just passing through. But when sparks fly between them, can a summer of sawdust and second chances turn into something built to last?
Get ready to fall hard. This story is part of the Mountain Man Summer series -- a multi-author event packed with heat, heart, and rugged heroes.

Masked Intentions
She came to seduce a monster.
She nearly begged a stranger to ruin her instead.
Undercover agent Juliet Crawford is no stranger to playing a role. As Camille, she’s cool, calculated, and ready to do whatever it takes to infiltrate a smuggling ring tied to drug and human trafficking. Her mission leads her to an exclusive Halloween masquerade ... where secrets slip like silk and masks aren’t the only things people are dying to take off.
Her target is supposed to be dangerous. Untouchable. Easy to hate.
But the man who corners her in the shadows?
He’s none of those things.
He’s worse.
Gideon Hale has orders: protect the agent, don’t get involved, and keep his damn cover intact. But when the woman he’s meant to shield throws herself into his arms -- hungry, reckless, and stunning -- he breaks every rule to taste her lips and feel her arch beneath him.
He puts on the brakes before it goes too far.
She doesn’t forgive him for stopping.
Now, with the clock ticking and the masquerade unraveling, they’ll have to face the truth:
They’re both lying.
They’re both in danger.
And the only thing more explosive than the mission … is the way they want each other.

Christmas With The Tycoon
Christmas in Hope Peak Series
Billionaire vs. Small-Town Charm
Profit and preservation were never meant to mix… until Christmas worked its magic.
Graham Sinclair has built multiple luxury resorts from the ground up. Now, he has his sights set on restoring Hearthstone Lodge, a long-abandoned property nestled in the snowy peaks of Montana. With plans to revive the lodge and add upscale shopping and dining to the site, this is more than one more project. It will define Hope Peak's future legacy.
But he didn’t count on the town’s resistance. Or the fiery local town manager, Willow Grant, who seems determined to block his every move.
Willow remembers what Hearthstone Lodge used to be -- a treasured piece of the community… and of her heart. She won’t stand by while an outsider with designer boots and corporate investors tries to erase the soul of Hope Peak. The last thing Willow Grant needs is a smug, big-city developer bulldozing his way into town with promises of “revitalization.”
And Graham Sinclair has no patience for small-town politics or sentimental roadblocks, especially when they come in the form of a stubborn, infuriatingly beautiful town manager.
But when their battle over Hearthstone Lodge turns personal, tension sparks into something neither of them expected. This Christmas, will they tear each other apart ... or light a fire that neither of them can put out?

Broken Hearted Cowboy
Not Looking For Love Series
He bet everything on a longshot.
Love won’t be another risk he’s willing to take.
Harrison learned the hard way that trust is expensive. After a brutal betrayal cost him more than money, he swore off love, commitment, and anything that could leave him exposed again. These days, he puts his faith in horses -- not people -- and even that’s a gamble.
When his longshot horse needs a miracle, the answer comes with a price tag he can barely afford. Nicole is a sought-after trainer with a reputation for turning written-off horses into winners ... and she knows exactly what her time is worth. Harrison cusses every check he writes … right up until he starts seeing results.
As the horse improves, so does the tension between them.
Nicole is all confidence, curves, and quiet authority. She is immune to Harrison’s charm and uninterested in his money. Harrison can’t decide what unsettles him more: how easily she takes control in the barn, or how impossible it is to stop wanting her out of it. The attraction is instant, undeniable, and completely off-limits.
Neither of them is looking for love. They want release. Control. A distraction that ends when the race is over.
But longshots don’t win by playing it safe ... and some risks demand more than money.
