Summers in Seaside

Book One: Booked for the Summer

She needs to finish her book. He needs to balance his out.

Maddie, a budding romance author – whose first book made the whole author thing seem easy – is stuck. The words won’t come to her, and the page remains empty after months. With a pushy ex-boyfriend for an agent, Maddie feels the pressure as her new deadline quickly approaches. Having run out of ideas to get over her writer’s block, Maddie books a summer stay at a cute, quaint, little ranch on the Oregon coast. Positive that a change of scenery will do the trick, she sets off to do the one thing she’d never expected to do: become the protagonist in her own romance novel.

Lifelong rancher Jason Harper is struggling to keep his family’s ranch afloat. With the livestock industry hitting a rough patch, he is forced to dip his toes into another industry he knows very little about. With one final hail mary to save the generations’ worth of Harper blood, sweat, and tears, Jason decides to rent out his ranch for the summer, with hopes that Seaside’s thriving tourist industry can keep him on his feet. He had no idea that this decision would lead to everything he needed…and more.

Can these two desperate strangers find the help they’ve been in dire need of? Or will the sparks of a summer romance cause everything they’re working towards to crumble into the sea?

When the hunt for a General Contractor turns up little to no results, Sam and Maddie are forced to make a choice that Sam soon comes to regret.

As the town’s favorite contractor, he’s recommended to Sam and Maddie over and over, but Sam is certain it’ll spell doom for their project after one strong first impression. After several failed relationships and horrible heart breaks, she’s learned that no man can be trusted, and has hardened her heart and built a tower to save herself from the perils of heartbreak. Besides, when you’re making your best friend’s dreams come true, who really has time for love?

Sam’s attitude, which has a habit of being just as fiery as her hair, poses quite the challenge to her project partner. Can Oliver Knight become a knight in shining armor and save Sam from her self-built tower?

The Orphans of St John's Series

Book One: Secrets of the Arlington

Content.

Felicity felt like the luckiest woman in the world, working for her favorite place in the world: The Arlington. The John Arlington Library was not just a hub of international knowledge; a collection of history’s greatest tales, heroes, and villains; a star map to all of the possible worlds in the universe – but a safe haven for bookworms and introverts alike.

Until it all changes.

This is what the young, orphan Felicity Johnson loved about it – and why the adult Felicity chose to be a librarian. Well, that and her boss, John Arlington. A man who became a father to her once she discovered The Arlington. That is, until one day when he doesn’t return to lock up the library.

Whirlwind.

Worried and confused, she searches for answers. Felicity soon uncovers why he never made it back, and that he may not have been the man that she once thought he was. What other secrets will Felicity unearth as her world crumbles to pieces while she tries to escape the past she never knew she had? Can heartthrob FBI agent Cage Murphy help Felicity figure out her past and ensure she has a future?

Book Two: Stoke the Flames

Angel, a rookie firefighter, is the only hope Sophie’s got. Will he be able to pull her back from the ledge? Can he save her from herself? Can he be her stability in a sea of insanity?
