The boss assigned me a babysitter. Not just anyone. He assigned me his hot and cocky nephew on my business trip to Vermont.
Lucas Hunt. Built like a linebacker, messy blond hair, sparkling green eyes, a smile that melts all the panties in the office.
But I need to focus on my career-defining presentation. And how can I do that when we’re hours in the same car? When I find out he’s attentive and kind and cares way more about me than anyone ever has?
And what am I supposed to do when we’re stranded in the ridiculously cute town of Emerald Creek during their Valentine’s Day festival, occupying the last room in town?
Let him sleep on the floor? I don’t think so.

A small town, single dad romance set in Emerald Creek.
He’s this small town’s baker, the single dad everyone loves. I’m the city girl crashing his world with zero baking skills—and zero plans to fall for him. But now I’m working in his kitchen, living next to his bedroom, and staying professional is getting harder by the day.
Christopher has one goal: to build a good life for his daughter. I had only one goal, too—to secure my inheritance. All I needed to do was get through this apprenticeship, check the box, and walk away. But between the scent of fresh bread, late-night talks, and his little girl looking at me like I belong, my carefully built walls start to crumble.
There’s just one problem—my inheritance is tied to the woman Christopher can’t forgive. If he finds out who I really am, I’ll lose everything: the town I’m falling for, the little girl who sees me as family, and the man who’s making me dream of something more.
He pushes me to chase my own dreams, and for the first time in years, I don’t want to run. But will he ever forgive me once he learns the truth?
NEVER LET YOU GO is a swoony small-town romance packed with steamy moments, heartfelt connections, and a guaranteed happily-ever-after. The first standalone in the Emerald Creek series delivers all the feels—and no cliffhanger.

A lovers-to-enemies-to-lovers romance set in Emerald Creek
In a small town where everyone remembers your mistakes, it only takes one night to turn strangers into lovers, rivals, and maybe—if you dare—lovers again.
When Chloe Sullivan’s carefully built life implodes, she flees to the place she thought she’d left behind—Emerald Creek, the town where grudges never die and secrets don’t stay buried.

He’s the hot, emotionally guarded pub owner determined to push her out. She’s the woman who won’t back down from saving her family’s failing restaurant, even if it means going to war with the man who still haunts her dreams.

A second chance romance set in Emerald Creek.
Two broken hearts. Ten years apart. Can one small town give bring them back together?
Ten years in the military might have changed me, but it didn’t change the reasons I left Emerald Creek. Back for a short visit to my family after a decade away, I’ll do everything to keep my stay painless.
It will be short.
There will be no trips down memory lane.
There will be little to no reconnecting with locals.
One thing is certain: I won’t run into the girl who broke my heart. She’s long gone, married away.
Or so I thought.
All it takes is a pulled muscle, a massage tent at the town fair, and some not-so-subtle interventions from my friends for me to suddenly be alone with her—with me flat on my back on the massage table and her kneading me like I’m a stranger. Like what we had back then meant nothing to her.
She won’t even talk to me? Fine. I’m ready to bolt anyway.
But when the townies engineer another close encounter and I find out what she’s trying to hide from me, it’s Operation Get Her Back.
RETURN TO YOU is a steamy small-town second chance romance featuring a stubborn spa owner, the military hero who broke her heart, a meddling cat with a knack for matchmaking, an unforgettable kiss under a covered bridge, and a town determined to prove that sometimes love deserves a second chance.
📚 This is the third book in the Emerald Creek Series, but it can be fully enjoyed as a standalone! HEA guaranteed.

A friends to lovers romance set in Emerald Creek.
Friends don’t kiss.
Especially not your best friend.
Especially not when your ex walks in with your sister, your family’s watching, and you’re holding the cake you spent hours perfecting—your sugar-laced reminder that you’re a pastry chef now, even if no one seems to notice.
But when Colton Harper—my best friend and the most dependable man I know—swoops in and pretends to be my boyfriend, I let him. He says he’s just helping me save face. That it’s no big deal.
Except now he’s calling me sweetness, touching me like I’m more than a friend, and kissing me like he means it.
And the worst part?
I kiss him back. And it’s messing with my head.
Because Colt isn’t just my friend. He’s the man who helped me build a life in Emerald Creek when I had nothing. He’s my anchor. My home. If we cross this line and it falls apart, I don’t just lose him—I lose everything.
Letting him in means risking the one thing I’ve always feared: that I’m either too much or not enough for someone to truly stay.
FRIENDS DON’T KISS is a steamy small-town romance featuring fake dating, friends to lovers, found family, a cinnamon roll mechanic, and one grumpy pastry chef who might just learn that love is the sweetest risk of all.
