The moment my husband died, I thought my life was over.
Left alone at forty-six with my daughter Stacy off at college, time seemed to freeze. Unsure of how to move forward, I watched others go on with their lives, keeping myself carefully tucked away where I wouldn't be forced to accept my new reality.
My life fell into further disarray when my landscaper retired suddenly, leaving my pool house apartment empty. When the heater in my beloved pool stopped working in the same week, I was forced to ask for help, and two much younger men came to my rescue.
Their presence in my once solitary life finally pushed me out of the bubble I'd placed myself in, and into a steamy journey of self-awakening that showed me life after tragedy didn't have to be done alone.
**A stand-alone, female POV only, spicy, taboo romance with an unexpected, but very happy ending loosely inspired by the song Stacy's Mom**

Love After Loss
MF, MFM, MM, FF, MF+MF

Alternate Illustrated Paperback Cover
Living on the island of Hawaii is not always paradise. For the locals, it gives a new meaning to struggle, community, loyalty, and family.
Collins grew up as the youngest in her family. Raised by her brothers, they were left to learn how to survive the best way they knew how. Fixing cars. For Collins, a relationship was never in her forecast, as it always brought storms. She lost faith in anyone willing to stay, but after one chance encounter, will she give way to the surf and ride the wave of life?
Victor steps out into what the world would consider as paradise. However, his paradise never included sand or surf. He was happy in the high-class country clubs fixing contracts to suit his life. To him, Hawaii is all business, and he is ready to make a deal so he can get back to his busy life in New York. He craves the big city and having everything at his fingertips. Can he slow his pace and see the true beauty behind the paper or would one night make him question if staying is too much to ask?
One night, one encounter, one person can change the direction of life.
When worlds collide, can it be enough to restore a broken heart?
Aria
We used to be friends but drifted apart. Over the years, I’d drowned him out. Pity he was now a rock star whose face graced magazines worldwide. But one day, he came knocking on my door, needing help. Unfortunately, it meant my heart was on the line a second time. From ashes we rose, burning brightly once again. Hearts aflame, but in the end, it was just a game.
Austin
I found her as I was near drowning, and she threw me a lifeline. Fate brought Aria into my life again years after losing touch. I needed help cleaning up my tarnished image in the media, and she was perfect for the job of my pretend girlfriend with her beauty, wit, and charm. But most of all, she was about as interested in a relationship with me, as I was in one with her. Slowly, she lit me up inside. Why was this fake relationship starting to feel like the most real thing I had in my life?
Aflame is a rock star romance with heart, and the first book in the Scarlet Love Series. Although part of a series of inter-connected novels, this story may be read as a stand-alone.

The Dirty Words Series
Sometimes even writers need help finding the words...
Sex sells, especially when drafted with your captivating new writing partner. And as with all good books, research was one of the most important elements of plotting a sexy storyline.
Chase
When I started writing romance novels, I never imagined my rise up the bestseller’s list would be for destroying readers’ panties. So being called in by my editor to consult for the publishing house golden boy on a novel that can’t quite manage to get it up isn’t something I’m anxious to do when I’ve got my own deadline. But when I saw his face on the back of his latest book jacket, I jumped at the chance to work with reclusive mystery novelist Stone Evans.
Evan
My thriving career was built on carefully crafted, suspenseful thrillers and mystery novels, but I was completely clueless when it came to adding a little spice to my upcoming release. With my deadline barreling toward me, I had no other choice but to accept a helping hand from a pro. Chastity Rose was a stunning romance novelist who burst into my quiet life and made it hard (pun intended) to concentrate on learning from her expertise. Especially once we decided to collaborate on a book requiring specialized, hands-on investigation.
Finding the words is easy with the right person...
Giving in to mutual attraction can unlock the boundaries between two people who would never make sense on paper. Can you ever get that little black box of desire closed again when you’ve thrown away the key?
Kristine
The world I grew up in didn’t have much room for girls with big dreams. Dreams that didn’t include stifling my ambitions as an editor to pursue a career my parents wanted. Despite their best efforts to marry me off to their friends’ horrible offspring, I left New York with the intention of never returning. Being fiercely independent ensured I didn’t make many friends on the way up the corporate ladder either. So, when Sam Langley stood in my path to a promotion, I wouldn’t let a pretty face get in my way.
Sam
Self-sufficient, spirited, smart, and seriously frustrating women didn’t scare me after growing up in a house with four older sisters. But having to edit a spicy thriller with the office ice queen would test my resolve to resist her fiery wit and sharp tongue. She thought her bristly exterior was a turn-off, but it only made it that much harder to keep her off my mind and out of my bed. Kristine Willard may have thought she could keep me away with her cutting remarks and terrible nicknames. She never expected my ability to read her in a way that showed her true character, and I wanted to explore her every page.
Words have the power to bind you or break you...
Sometimes you meet someone who has the potential to change your life entirely, but the timing isn’t right.
Kelly
The first time I met Nathan Harrison I drunkenly exclaimed I was going to climb him like a mountain. But when I found out he lived halfway across the country I didn’t think I’d ever see him again. Until he found me crying at my brother’s wedding and showed me what it was like to be with a man who thrived on control. After an eye-opening weekend, I knew I didn’t want anyone else, but our lives were in different places. Fate had other plans when circumstances brought us back together for longer than a few steamy hours.
Nathan
Kelly Stineman was a temptation I found hard to deny. I tried to ignore my attraction, but when the obstacles keeping us apart fell away for a few stolen weeks at her brother’s house in rural Connecticut, I knew resisting her was futile. Introducing her to my world of forbidden desires, we both found solace and strength in one another. She was the one woman I’d ever felt truly comfortable submitting control to. Letting go of our fears brought new possibilities for a future that bound us together in a way neither of us ever imagined. When ghosts from our pasts threatened to drive us apart, would we be able to resist the pull?
