Rising Above
(Still Waters Part Two)
November 2012
Imagine you’ve
lived before, but don’t remember or believe it’s even possible. Therein lies
the danger. For in not believing and learning from your pasts, the power shifts
to the one who would see you dead. Again.
Ryan James never gave much thought to ghosts or the idea of
reincarnation—until the appearance of the beautiful Ali Whitman triggers
terrifying visions that feel like real life. As he pieces together their past
lives, he discovers they aren’t the only players. Worse, if he can’t convince
Ali to believe before their past adversary makes the next move, he’ll lose her
all over again.

| Catch the stallion ~ win the ranch... |
When his father announced his engagement to a gold-digger with a lying, scheming fourteen-year old daughter, seventeen-year old Tripp Warner left Warner Ridge Ranch and never looked back. Until the day he got the phone call that his father had died unexpectedly.
Reggie Reed lives with her guilt every day but can't quite work up the courage to track down the son of the man who raised her as his own. When Tripp shows up at his father’s funeral eleven years later--and a hell of a man to be reckoned with--he has no interest in her too-late apology. Worse, they’ve inherited half shares of the family ranch—but only if they work together to catch Mason’s Gold, the stallion a young Reggie let escape and made sure Tripp took the blame for.
Tripp proposes a secret competition to the beautiful witch who stole his life: whoever catches the stallion first gets the ranch all to themselves. It sounds simple, but once they’re out on the range, tempers and passions flare in the Texas heat and nothing goes as either of them expects.

More Than a Kiss
May 2012
May 2012
One book ~ two covers...choose the one you like best!
When a kiss...
All reporter Sadie Barton wants is to be taken seriously and judged on her own merits, not her stepfather’s money. She and her actress sister left Wisconsin to get out from under his controlling thumb and leave behind the malicious whispers that they’re no better than their gold-digging mother. But California isn’t all sun and fun, and paying the rent while trying to prove herself is harder than she ever imagined.
...is more than a kiss...
Something about Sadie drew self-made millionaire Zach Robinson—and it wasn’t just the amazing kiss they shared as impromptu actors in his company's commercial. He’s used to women being interested in his wealth, and Sadie’s fierce independence is an enticing breath of fresh air. He’s falling fast—until his brother suggests acting runs in her family and Sadie might not be exactly what she seems...

The best laid plans…
Halli Sanders spent two years
planning the trip of a lifetime to Italy. Her itinerary did not include being
stranded by her siblings, kidnapped by a sexy American movie star, dodging
bullets, or fleeing criminals in a car chase around Lake Como. And that’s just
in the first three hours.
…often go awry.
Trent Tomlin put his movie career
on hold to investigate his brother’s murder-ruled-suicide at his Italian villa.
He’s closing in on the suspects when an American tourist unwittingly films the
murder of the retired cop helping him. The killers will stop at nothing to get
the evidence—including holding Halli’s family as collateral.
Life’s
a little different unscripted.
Thrust into the role of
real-life hero, Trent finds himself falling for the Plain Jane whose beauty
blossoms with every challenge they face. But how can he keep the evidence from falling into the
wrong hands and get justice for his brother and friend without betraying Halli and her family?

With reason to be distrustful of cops, she takes Noah and flees their Manhattan home for Joel’s ranch in Colorado. Under the pretense of needing a job, she plans to hide out until her twenty-fifth birthday, when she’ll inherit her trust fund and legally gain custody of Noah away from Robert’s greedy hands. Unfortunately, her brother’s sexy, infuriating ranch manager insists on demolishing her defenses and digging into her past.
Colton Lawe has good reason to suspect Joel’s beautiful, long-lost sister isn’t what she seems—the little liar stole from him! He silently vows to expose her secrets, but long hours together on the ranch fosters a closeness and fiery attraction neither of them expects. Can Kendra trust Colton with the full truth before Robert finds them?

New co-owner of Hunter Construction Justin Blake goes undercover on

deeper emotions. When a blackmailer threatens to expose the
twenty-five-year-old secrets that link his family and Marley’s, Justin realizes
the truth could not only shatter a future with Marley, but his entire family as
well.

bankrupt, and his excessive drinking and arrest fueled the tabloids. When lawyer
David Barnes offers representation in exchange for assistance in reopening his
Colorado mountain resort, Jordan has no choice. It’s help or jail.
Hollywood wild child Lexie Sinclair disappeared by
changing her name, joining the army, and marrying a soldier. One night, her
husband wrapped their car around a tree, killed himself, and left her
permanently injured. For the past few years she’s been content to live in
peaceful obscurity as caretaker of David’s defunct resort.
Jordan’s arrival exposes Lexie’s true identity and brings her dead husband’s ‘friends’ calling. Jordan offers to help, but the shadow of his drinking leaves Lexie reluctant to trust. Can they conquer their fears and find the courage to face the criminals—and the world—together?

Josh Nelson: No, I’m not looking forward to the reunion. Just hearing the name Summer Clark brings back memories of a night I buried long ago and never talked about again. Seeing her means skirting the truth while trying to deliver a way-too-late apology. No, with this storm, I think I’ll head home…as soon as I help this car sunk in the ditch.
Clearly, there are two sides to every story.
Excerpt in Summer's POV Excerpt in Josh's POV
Reformed gang member Wes Carter feels Redemption, Wisconsin, is just the place to relocate his financial business for reasons more than just the name. He’s ready for a nice, quiet life in small town USA. Tara Russell has decided it’s time to add some excitement to her life and get a little wild—no matter how uncomfortable it makes her or her overprotective family. They meet at the local fair one warm summer night and discover opposites attract for all the right reasons. Add a dash of Sugar in the form of an incorrigible Great Dane, and it’s destined to be A Fair To Remember.
All Allie Daniels ever wanted was a family of her own—until her doctor informs her she’ll never be able to have children. She hides her desolation, refusing to let any man close enough to see her broken heart. Most certainly not the town veterinarian, who’s cute three-year-old son reminds her of what she’ll never have.
Rick Wilde had a serious crush on Allie back in high school, but life took them in different directions. Now a single parent, he returns to Redemption several years later to raise his son, Lukas. His interest in Allie is renewed, but her shoulder is colder than the bitter winter wind.
Brought together by an orphaned kitten, Allie finds herself helpless to resist Lukas’s impish innocence—not to mention Rick’s warm charm and sexy good looks. Does she dare take a chance on an impossible dream, or will Rick’s desire for more kids devastate their future?
