Just Right for Me
​(previously published as Just Right)
​
Fake dating the slightly older and very hot bartender who thinks he “rescued” me seemed like a good idea at the time.
After yet another disastrous date, my night goes from bad to worse when my nemesis—who’s now dating my ex—walks into the bar. She taunts me about being dateless for our class reunion until Lincoln intervenes. Apparently, he thinks I need rescued from a situation I can totally handle on my own.
His idea of rescuing me though, is to tell her he’s my boyfriend (he’s not).
His plan? He’ll go to my reunion with me. All I have to do is go to his sister’s wedding festivities with him. Oh, and commit to two “dates” a week so people don’t see right through us.
Seeing no other choice, I reluctantly agree.
A month in, it’s been… amazing. I never expected to enjoy spending time with him so much. I guess maybe opposites do attract.
But it’s all fake. To him, anyway. Even if he’s giving me mixed messages. Even if it didn’t feel fake when we kissed. Multiple times.
My heart—and my body—want more, but my brain reminds me Lincoln doesn’t and that feels very real.
Now the wedding is over, so I’m out.
My heart can’t take pretending any longer. Even if it means I have to go stag to my class reunion and face the ridicule of the mean girl from hell.
Even if it means I’m walking away from the only man I want to be with.
Come Back to Me
(Previously published as Come Back to Us)​
​
I moved to this small town to start over.
Not to fall for another man who could break me all over again.
But firefighter Jack Donley didn’t get the memo.
He’s hot, heroic, and impossible to ignore.
The chemistry between us is electric—but I remind myself I’ve done this before.
I barely survived the fallout once.
So I make him a deal: no strings, just fun.
He says no. He wants more.
So, we try friendship instead.
The kind of friends who share secrets.
Who linger too long.
Who kiss… in case my ex is watching.
And just like that, I fall. Hard.
Jack is right there with me.
But just when I think we’ve found something real, tragedy shatters everything.
Jack is grieving. Changed. Distant.
And the man I fell for is gone.
So is the trust we built.
By the time he’s ready to fight for us, there may be nothing left to save.
Even if my soul still wants him.
Even if my heart can’t let go.
Because risking everything again… might destroy me for good.
Come Dance with Me​
​
Finn Bannon is the sexy, charming firefighter every woman wants—but I can’t stand him.
He’s cocky. He’s gorgeous.
And now he’s living downstairs from me… as my new landlord.
I’m a single mom trying to keep it all together.
I’ve loved and lost the man I was supposed to grow old with—losing him nearly broke me.
So no, I don’t have time for flirtation, firemen, or feelings.
But Finn doesn’t back off.
He shows up with that easy smile, that devastating charm—and somehow worms his way into my life.
Into my routine.
Into my son’s heart.
Into the cracks I thought were sealed for good.
He’s nothing like I expected.
And when things turn physical… I tell myself it’s just that—physical. Temporary. Safe.
But it’s not.
Not when my son adores him.
Not when he’s found a way into my heart.
I told myself I wouldn’t fall again.
But what if this time, loving someone doesn’t mean losing everything?
Stay With Me
​
Falling for my sister’s best friend? Bad idea.
Especially less than a year after my husband betrayed me—and died the same day.
I’ve sold my house and need a place to stay.
That place is Charlie Fitzgerald’s—my slightly grumpy, fiercely loyal firefighter friend who’s been by my side through it all.
Charlie’s always been my rock... and my secret crush.
But when I move in, the line between friendship and something more starts to blur.
The looks. The touches.
The way he cares feels different now—intense, impossible to ignore.
I thought I was destined to be friend-zoned forever.
But when Charlie finally lets me in, it’s raw, passionate, and real—everything I never dared hope for.
Then the past—and his fears—come crashing in.
He’s terrified of hurting my sister.
Afraid he’ll become the kind of man his father was.
He can’t see he’s the hero in my story.
But if he won’t fight for us… we might lose everything before it even begins.
Only You and Me
​
After a drunken night in Vegas, I woke up accidentally married to the man I’ve hated for ten years—the one who broke my heart.
Now he wants a second chance.
I’ve fought to move on, to convince myself I hate him.
But when a stalker turns my life upside down, I have no choice but to lean on the one man I swore I’d never trust again—Detective Ben Donley.
He’s my new husband and my polar opposite.
He’s all sunshine, and I’m a little edgy.
He’s impossible to ignore, even when I’m determined to keep my distance.
As the stalker’s threats grow, Ben won’t leave my side.
I move in with him, and the walls I built around my heart begin to crumble.
My body remembers every touch.
My heart aches for the love we lost—
even if my head tells me to stay away.
Now I’m afraid I’m falling for my accidental husband…
and losing myself all over again.
With danger closing in and old wounds still raw, can we survive this second chance without breaking each other?
Dream with Me
We were the small town’s golden couple—high school sweethearts who believed in forever.
But now, our marriage is on the rocks. Big trouble.
Standing before a judge doesn’t quite align with the dreams we once had.
It feels more like a nightmare than a fairytale.
Troy keeps the firefighter job he loves, his ageless good looks and lean muscular build. Oh, and his wicked skills in the bedroom.
I’m left with the house, extra pounds I can’t shake, and lingering depression.
Then the judge delays the divorce. Suddenly, we’re spending more time together than we have in years.
We talk.
We laugh.
We begin to remember the best parts of us.
We’re both working harder to be our best selves—something we failed to do when our marriage was falling apart.
Maybe time, a little perspective, and being snowed in together during a blizzard with only one bed is all we need to realize there’s still something worth fighting for.
With only days left until our final hearing, I’m left wondering—can we fight for a second chance at the love we lost?
Or is it time to say goodbye to our fairytale forever?

Aron Falls Series
When We Were More
Sometimes the heart doesn't play by the rules…
There’s a fine line between confidence and cockiness.
Henry Aron, the frustratingly attractive contractor renovating my grandmother’s farmhouse, has been walking it since the day we met.
He’s a smart aleck with a crooked smile and a habit of tossing out double-meaning remarks—usually at my expense. I’m not amused.
After clawing my way out of a toxic marriage, I’ve got no time for another man who thinks he knows better.
But I need him.
This renovation is the last promise I made to my grandmother—the woman who loved me unconditionally.
And the more time I spend with Henry, the more I see beyond the sarcasm.
He’s kind. Steady. A devoted single dad.
And, it turns out, just as emotionally guarded as I am.
So we strike a deal: friends only.
But one kiss turns into one night, and it’s not enough.
Suddenly we’re adding a few rules:
➤ Monogamous.
➤ No feelings.
➤ Definitely no falling in love.
Easy enough… until it isn’t.
Because every night together brings us closer.
Every look, every touch, chips away at the walls we swore would protect us.
This was supposed to be simple.
No strings. No mess.
But if we don’t rewrite the rules, we could lose the one thing that finally feels real.
