SEVENTEEN BUTTERFLIES
The embarrassment of being the only unkissed girl in high school is something Sandy Cardington refuses to accept. The first kiss project is her foolproof plan to finally get rid of the status at her 17th birthday party, while her parents are out of town.
With several kissable boys on her guest list, this should be a walk in the park. But she didn’t count on her older brother returning from college and throwing a wrench into her plans. To make matters even more complicated, he has a friend in tow, and the cute hockey player stirs unexpected butterflies in her stomach every time their paths cross.
While Sandy moves heaven and earth to make her party and project come true, it looks as if Thane Griffyn has his own plans to teach her the real meaning of a first kiss…

COUNTING FIREFLIES, On Thin Ice #1
The winter after I tossed my high school graduation cap into the air, I make a beeline for Canada, seeking solace in a six-month retreat. My mission? To care for horses and breathe new life into the charming farm of a warm-hearted elderly woman. Moonbreak Falls promises to be my haven, my escape from a life of whirlwind family drama and emotions I locked away for far too long.
Just as I’m sinking into the comforting embrace of frosty days, Ruth’s grandson bursts onto the scene like a fierce, unyielding snowstorm. This captivating hockey player has the appearance of a fallen angel, and his arrival cranks up the heat on the once tranquil farm. Determined to steal my first male kiss, his electrifying methods sent my heart racing, pounding out an exhilarating new rhythm. Love? That was the last thing I ever imagined finding in this icy paradise!
Yet, North Beckett crashes into my life with an intensity I’m not prepared for, and suddenly all I can do is count fireflies amidst the winter chill.

SPLINTERED NORTH, On Thin Ice #2
After surviving the most harrowing night of my life, I’m left desperate for answers. No one will tell me where North is, and my last memory of him is his blood-streaked face. But stars don’t bleed, do they?
As the first light of dawn creeps in, the steady beep of a monitor becomes my anchor. When that beeping fades away, I’m thrust into a world where the North Star has lost its brilliance. It’s scattered into a thousand glittering fragments, and nobody knows how to mend it. But how am I supposed to find my way back without the light of my guiding star? And how can I help North rediscover his own light?
In the deafening quiet, I find solace in my art. Sketching moments of love, awakening, yearning, and the journey back to where it all began. It feels like only yesterday when North Beckett blew into my life like a Canadian whirlwind, leaving me breathless. Now, as his gaze meets mine, my world crumbles and shifts, and I know that nothing will ever be the same again.

PLAY WITH ME, Grover Beach Players #1
What if you had to do the one thing you hated most to get the guy you loved to notice you?
Ryan Hunter’s parties are legend. And tonight she’s going to be there.
Lisa Matthews anticipates the return of her best friend and only love since kindergarten from soccer camp. But when Tony finally shows up, his mind is more focused on another girl. And worse, she’s a soccer player. Fighting for the attention Lisa craves, she’s just a hairbreadth away from making a very stupid decision. But when extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures, she’s prepared to play ball to get her man.
The tryouts are hell, the first match ends bloody, and the morning after the selection party she wakes up in the worst place possible—in the arms of the captain of the soccer team. The hottest guy in school… Ryan Hunter.
*
RYAN HUNTER, Grover Beach Players #2
Ryan Hunter kissed more girls than he cares to remember. But the only one he ever wanted is in love with his best friend.
Watching Lisa Matthews’ obsession with Tony Mitchell is a torture Ryan conceals from everyone. Until after a five-week soccer camp, where Tony gets involved with someone else, things suddenly take a different turn. Ryan knows if he doesn’t make a move now and grab his chance, he might never get another.
Asked by Tony to distract Lisa, Ryan is only too happy. He subtly seduces her first into his soccer team and later on to his party. He does all in his power to make her see that he’s not just an insufferable playboy but a guy who really cares about her. Some one-on-one soccer training, a passionate kiss — things seem to be going the way he wants. Except Ryan didn’t reckon on his best friend showing up at the worst possible moment and destroying everything…

T IS FOR…, Grover Beach Players #3
“I don’t know what’s currently going on in Anthony Mitchell’s mind, but you’re definitely taking up a lot of space in there.”
Life isn’t easy for Samantha Summers, daughter of an army general. Moving from one continent to another every other year helps a teenage girl learn 4 different languages in record time. But it’s also killing her social life. And when a totally hot guy in her new hometown gives her hell, because she’s the cousin of a girl he once dated and who then spurned him, the prospect of the coming school year makes Sam want to call it quits.
There’s just one thing even more unnerving than all that put together. For some strange reason, she can’t seem to stop daydreaming about this impossible guy.
*
DATING TROUBLE, Grover Beach Players #4
Susan wants Ethan, and Chris wants Sue.
Drawn to Ethan and intrigued by Chris, Susan Miller finds herself caught between identical twin brothers at her school. When both of them start wooing her at the same time, she only has to take her pick. Right? Wrong! Ethan is reluctant to kiss her, and Chris wants her for the completely wrong reasons.
Nothing like his obliging and sweet brother, Chris Donovan has trouble written all over him. He changes girls like other guys change t-shirts, and the next trophy on his little list is Susan. That’s the last thing she wants, yet she finds herself responding to all the goodnight texts and other cheeky messages Chris sends. The guy has a way of getting under her skin like no one ever has before.
How long will it be until Susan falls for his smooth charm and gets herself into more trouble than she can possibly handle? And where does that leave Ethan?
*
THE TROUBLE WITH DATING SUE, Grover Beach Players #5
“When hell freezes over!”
Chris Donovan can’t believe that Susan Miller just brushed him off like a fly in midsummer. He certainly wasn’t looking for a girlfriend when he followed her into detention. All he wanted was to show this little smart-mouth that no girl can resist his charm when he decides to woo.
It’s a plan that thoroughly backfires.
No matter what Chris does to crack through the snappy nerd’s barriers, she blocks his every advance. Worse, she only seems interested in his quiet twin brother, Ethan. But Chris never walks away from a challenge, and Sue’s stubborn resistance only makes him try harder.
To put a hickey on her delectable neck during a friendly game of soccer is one thing. To make hell freeze over and snatch a kiss is another. But when a strawberry and some molten chocolate lead to five hot minutes in his kitchen, the stakes of this challenge unexpectedly rise…
*
THE IMPOSSIBLE BET, Grover Beach Players #6
The Wager:
Three kisses. Two of which must be initiated by the girl—a girl my friends select for me. I have just under two weeks.
If I win, I get the coveted role of Tristan in a stage production.
If I lose, I’m still in the play…in the worst possible way. Playing Isolde in lacy underwear is something I may never live down!
The bet should be a piece of cake—until my friends pick my conquest. My quirky new neighbor, Pippi Longstocking in Pink. WTF?!
Oh, and did I mention I’m not allowed to speak to her? At. All.
*
TAMING CHLOE SUMMERS, Grover Beach Players #7
When a wolf and a tiger are playing in the woods…
Camp sucks.
I should be on a plane to London, heading into an epic second year of college. Instead, I’m stuck on Frog Pond Mountain, tasked with supervising a horde of pubescent teens, all because I had some minor run-ins with the law.
But I came here with a plan: next weekend, I’m escaping from the boondocks and swindling my way back into civilization. Unfortunately, my brilliant plan B couldn’t foresee one small, pretty hot detail: Justin Andrews, alpha to the wolves …

UNFAIR LOVE, Crushed Hearts #1
My world shattered when I met my match.
I pride myself on keeping control of everything. Always. My only weakness? Reckless challenges.
After losing my car to the new street racer in town, Sebastian gives me a chance to get it back. His condition: two hours in my playroom. No safewords allowed.
While I only ever do girls in there, I accept. And when he kisses me, I reach my fucking limits.
Once in a lifetime, you meet a unicorn.
Raffael is pure Nordic ice. Controlled. Determined. And drop-dead gorgeous.
Winning his car was a lucky strike. Winning his heart when he’s so afraid of the truth, turns out to be the hardest challenge I’ve ever raced to complete.
*
BROKEN DAWN, Crushed Hearts #2
The rules in Raff’s playroom allow me to get into his pants. But breaking Titanium is so much harder.
After Raffael stuns me speechless in the club, it’s time to change the rules of our game a bit. He gets to decide when he’s ready to kiss me. But everything else will be my decision from now on.
Sebastian is the most dangerous dare I’ve ever had to deal with.
His touch springs the chains from a passion I didn’t know was bound inside of me. Nothing has ever felt so forbidden…and yet so good at the same time.
My world comes unhinged.
And I don’t know how to put it to rights again. Or if I even want to…
*
AWAKING TRUST, Crushed Hearts #3
Sebastian came into my life in small, intense doses. Until I was addicted.
Now, breaking that addiction hurts worse than anything I’ve ever gone through before. I no longer know who I am, who I was, or even who I want to be. My world is shattered like the shards of my broken mirror. And seeing a bit of myself in all of those pieces, I know I’ll never be whole again. Not without him.
Raffael doesn’t believe in change. In possibilities. In us.
My heart bleeds as I walk away, even though it was necessary. But sometimes all it takes is one glance over your shoulder to realize that you can’t stop fighting just yet. That maybe the battle is worth it. It’s when you see the love of your life looking after you…breathless.

FANTASY ROMANCE
NEVERLAND, Dreams of Never Ever #1
Strange things are happening in Neverland…
Angelina McFarland has always loved fairy tales—but she never imagined she’d one day tumble headfirst into one herself. Quite literally.
Swept from her world into a land of lost boys, fairies, and whispered secrets, Angel is rescued by a mysterious flying boy who refuses to grow up — and captured by a pirate whose smile is every bit as dangerous as his blade.
Desperate to escape the island’s curse — and the clutches of a ship called the Jolly Roger — she’s drawn into a timeless game where loyalty wavers, hearts are stolen, and every wish comes with a price.
But as her encounters with James Hook turn into stolen moments beneath Neverland’s stars, Angelina is forced to question everything she thought she knew. In a land of legends, who is the true villain—and who is the one her heart is falling for?
Grab a happy thought and follow Angel on an adventure that will sweep you off your feet — and make you believe in love, magic, and the legends of Neverland.
*
PAN’S REVENGE, Dreams of Never Ever #2
After Angel left the cursed island, Neverland has become a place where growing up hurts, love is dangerous, and revenge may cost everything.
Angelina McFarland is home in London-alive, safe, and haunted by a longing she can’t explain. At the same time, far beyond her world, Captain James Hook has lost the only thing that ever mattered to him. And he will burn Neverland to get her back.
To escape the island and reach the girl he loves, James must strike a bargain with capricious fairies and defy the very rules that hold Neverland together.
But every choice has a price. And this one costs the boy who never wanted to grow up.
As time starts moving again, the balance of Neverland shatters. Brotherhood turns into betrayal. Magic twists into curses. And the line between villain and hero blurs beyond recognition.
Because love demands more than forever.
And when dreams are taken away, even Peter Pan can fall.
Come back to Neverland and let it remind you why you believed in magic.

NO PRINCE FOR RIDING HOOD, Whispering Pages #1
When Riley Redcoat decided to catch herself a royal.
Every time someone opens a storybook and reads the words “Once upon a time,” my granny ends up as dinner. Trust me, it’s not as magical as it sounds. While Cinderella, Aurora, and Belle get castles, kisses, and dashing princes, I get Jack—the wolf, not the prince. And he? Totally unsuitable for a happily-ever-after.
So I did what girls in fairy tales are supposed to do. Seventeen frogs and one nearly heroic toad later, I’m convinced true love doesn’t just hop out of the forest—no matter how many I smooched. That’s why I’m taking matters into my own hands now: I’m going to build a prince trap, rewrite my story, and claim the unforgettable romance I deserve.
Cough. Hi, I’m Jack Wolf. Yep, if Riley gets to have her say, so do I. And she’d better forget about this ridiculous “catch a prince” plan–now. If she wants romance, it’s with me or no one. Oh, and yeah… unforgettable, of course!
*
A WOLF IN HER WAY, Whispering Pages #2
When Red Riding Hood learned that love doesn’t need a crown.
I’ve been gone from the woods for only two days, and suddenly everyone is thrilled to see me again. Even Jack.
Especially Jack.
He kisses me like he’s afraid I might disappear if he lets go—but the timing couldn’t be worse. What is he thinking? That one hard kiss can stop me from finding my prince from the ball?
Jack says I wouldn’t recognize love if it ran me down with a coach.
Please. I should teach him a thing or two about love.
I’m going on this journey! He can come with me… or not.
Jack here. And for the record? Following her was a terrible idea.
The farther we travel, the worse this gets—winter nights, bad plans, and the crushing realization that asking Phillip for help with the whole prince situation was a huge mistake. I’m in deep, ugly trouble.
All I wanted was to prove I’m enough without a crown.
So why does everything feel like it’s falling apart?
Can’t we just start over? Please!

MY SECRET VAMPIRE: Dracula’s Heir
For nineteen years, I was just an ordinary Californian guy. Until a car crash almost killed me, and Count Dracula suddenly stuck his teeth into my throat.
As his great-great-grandnephew and rightful heir, he ships me off to freaking Transylvania to learn how to be a vampire the hard way: with no staff to eat, no chance to escape, and no Wi-Fi. It’s just the place to go mental. And starve.
But there’s this girl. Abigail… For some reason, she likes to roam the dark and musty castle. She claims to know nothing about vampires, but I swear she tries to kill me every damn time we meet. I would have invited her to be my dinner last night if she hadn’t fled with something very dear to me. My fang.
Now, I’m waiting for sundown to find her and get my tooth back. And then I’ll kill the werewolf that howls in the forest, because that’s actually the one condition under which Uncle Vlad allows me to return home.
But the wolf problem is harder to solve than expected. And Abigail’s cookie-like scent is making me do really stupid things…

YOU WERE MY FAIRYTALE
He wasn’t part of my plans…
Twelve years ago, my mom picked her volatile boyfriend over me, and I was gifted with an unwanted stay in a London children’s home. But in six weeks, I’ll be eighteen…and free!
Unfortunately, one ridiculously pilfered sweater—I swear, it practically leapt into my hands—puts me in front of a judge. And, oh surprise! My absentee mother decides to make an appearance, too. I wish she would drop dead!
And then somebody whispers that she has cancer… Oh boy.
The Judge sentences me to spend some ‘quality time’ in France with her before the grim reaper comes calling, and so I’m stuck laboring in the vineyards of some unknown relatives now. Yeah, right. They must be crazy if they think I’ll stay just one more day in this godforsaken place!
My escape from France, however, isn’t quite as easy as I thought. Because of him. Julian.
The young man caring for my mother lives with us and has a way of getting under my skin unlike anyone else. His beauty is almost too profound for this world, and he never skips an opportunity to prod at my deepest emotions with his provocative comments. Moreover, he has a knack for predicting my every move.
But then, he slips up…for my sake. And suddenly, I’m smacked with a secret that makes my blood run cold.

SPIRITUAL
ELOYN – Kissed by an Angel
On that mystical night, when Lucifer first whispered in my ear, commanding me to light a candle for him, I had no idea that this encounter would mark the beginning of the most precarious adventure of my life. As Michael, my guardian angel, appeared at my side, I was yet unaware of the celestial allies who would rally to my cause, or the profound power nestled within my soul.
But through the labyrinth of time, I discovered my own truth, and finally the day came when I stood prepared.
My name is Eloyn.
And I reached into the depths of Lucifer’s heart.
