The Helios Series
Finders, Keepers
Convinced her boyfriend is cheating, free-spirited Farrah flees a holiday party and dodges into a bar where straitlaced Caleb indulges in one drink. Charmed, she goes home with him, but her boyfriend’s later texts persuade her she was mistaken. Horrified by what she’s done, she sneaks out in the night, leaving Caleb with a single mitten …
Helios
Advertising agent Nicole yields to the temptation of a sexy stranger on a transatlantic flight, unaware that he’s the client she’s going to pitch. Blown away that her Mile High fantasy made flesh is the CEO of Helios, she struggles to balance the professionalism her job demands with her attraction to him. When scandalous photos of her show up in a Greek tabloid, it’s chaos.
New Heights
Relationship-averse wild child Sarah Ann joins her best friend in Greece to help with her fledgling advertising agency. A whole Navy base full of hot men sounds like a promising distraction when she’s assigned to a job in Souda Bay, Crete. A chance encounter in a taverna leaves her angered but intrigued by the man who walks away.
Submerged Hopes
Nerissa’s dreams seeing the world using her archaeology degree are shattered when she loses her parents and her hearing. Her aunt pushes her to marry and settle down. When Nerissa gets a chance to excavate an ancient shipwreck, she’s thrilled, but a disastrous encounter with a hot Navy man at a social function highlights how difficult it will be. When he’s assigned as her ASL interpreter, sparks fly.
Hard Truths
Fearful of heartbreak, Theresa gravitates towards safe, unavailable men. When she books a flight to Greece to escape becoming her alcoholic mother, she lands her dream job working for the sexy CEO of Helios. Theresa’s professional demeanor hides her feelings for her boss until a one night stand, a company shake-up, and the arrival of Jason, a cocky adventure racer, threatens to unravel everything.
Love is a Drug
A darkly comedic short story fairy tale romance.
Mary Sue, the village sweetheart, is kind, hardworking—and devastated, when rivals move in on her man, the handsome Perry Stalsis. If her faith, patience, and valiant efforts aren’t enough, she might have to try some new tactics.
Where to next?
I’ve LOVED our time in Greece and with the Navy, and there’s still more to come this spring, but it’s going to be time for a new series soon! I’m thinking medical / military / sports, but I’d love to hear from you! Weigh in via the contact form at the bottom for what you like to read, or any other feedback you have!
Humble Pie
I’m lucky to have early readers who aren’t afraid to serve me up some humble pie on first drafts to help me make my stories the best they can be! If you’re interested in being on my Holiday Squad as an Advance Team member, sign up here!
ABOUT ME
I write the things I love to read: steamy, fun stories about ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances, smart women and men who aren’t jerks. I like to read about friendships, either close women or a good bromance. I want all the feels: the thrill of a smoldering gaze or the barest brush of fingertips, the shocked gasp at the underhanded villain, the angst of heartbreak, the joy of reunion, and of course, happily ever after!
I enjoy a sneak peek into intriguing groups, whether that be military personnel, medicine, or another culture like Greece. It’s fun to live vicariously and go sailing, diving, or rock climbing. A bit of danger always gets me going, so many of my Romances have a thriller subplot. I also write thrillers with a slow-burn romantic subplot.
I love humor and am partial to witty banter and embarrassing situations! Love is funny sometimes!
I hate to read the same old thing, with only the names and places changed, so my goal is to bring you a fresh, fun, NEW story every time, with NO CLIFFHANGERS!
More than anything, I want a rollicking, great story that I can’t put down, one where love prevails in the end, one that will whisk me away from my own tribulations.
Come join me!
