After all, the hospital has been his life’s work, and he’s never let anything distract him. Until now.

Serendipity & Lucky Floor Thirteen

Crashing into the arms of a stranger in an elevator, lucky gets the odd sense she knows him from somewhere. But she just can’t place where or how. When he presses the stop button and they’re both suspended between floors twelve and fourteen, he takes matters into his own hands and gives her pleasure she’s sure to remember long after their sexy ride to the top.

Walking to her hotel room alone, she wonders if she’ll ever see him again, and soon realizes not only that she will, but he’s also the owner and CEO of the hotel she’s staying at. And that’s not all. Maybe, just maybe, she was right about their paths crossing a very long time ago. Question is, does he remember her like she remembers everything about him?

Forcing himself to keep his hands off her, he thinks he’s in the clear. That is until he runs into her at the local bookstore and then all bets are off.

All too soon though, Delilah finds herself sitting in his class, forced to play student to the new hot professor all the girls are lusting over. Now that they both know who each other really are, will he act like nothing ever happened between them? Or will he teach her all about what she’s been missing? The Kama Sutra included.

Blurb:

One minute I was that uncool kid who hated piano lessons.

The next, a high school dropout, playing in a start-up band.

A year later, that band, ‘Screaming Shadows’ was one of the biggest in the world.

Life was phenomenal apart from my one regret, that I’d never had the guts to tell my best friend, Blaire Hutton my true feelings about her.

As we grew up, I believed Blaire was my soulmate, but as she was every teenage guy’s wet dream, I remained her nerdy school friend.

That was until the night before I headed out on my first big tour when I’d kissed her goodbye and we’d jokingly made a pact, that if we were both still single by thirty, we’d give up and marry the other instead.

For a decade I’d held on to that pact, and with each year that passed, I became convinced she would wait for me. But I’ve just heard that at twenty-nine was getting hitched… and it wasn’t to me.

My dilemma is, do I go home and try to claim what I’ve grown to believe is mine, or was I delusional to think she’d ever want me in the first place?

Blurb:

A COMPLETE DUET (Books 1 & 2)

I needed to escape. To spread my wings where my ex no longer had a hold over me.

America promised renewed friendships and finding myself again, so colliding with a rude stranger was a complication I didn’t want, need, or expect.

He turned out to be my friend’s brother, and staying with their family at their lake house was a disaster waiting to happen. Austin frustrated me one minute, then turned smolderingly sweet the next.

When he exposed my soul-crushing secret, I could no longer hide behind the smile. Instead of backing off, Austin began to lower his walls. Turns out, beneath the flirtatious, carefree exterior, he was just as broken as I was.

We began to heal each other, making every second of my vacation count, and accidentally falling in love until I returned home with a heavy heart.

But it didn’t end there.

Not by a long shot.

I never pictured a life without Kip. It was supposed to be me and him until the end, but the universe always has a way of screwing things up.

Moving on after losing him wasn’t something I thought I was capable of, but when Penn Brookes comes into the picture, I realize I’m not so alone.

Suffering the same kind of loss as me and trying to be the best dad he can, I start to gravitate toward him.

We’re one in the same, building our lives around broken pieces, and suddenly, something I never thought possible happens.

That spark I’ve only felt once before returns and ignites something deep inside me.

Can we overcome our grief and build something great, or will the circumstances of the past burn down the future we want?

Have you ever stopped to think your actions will ever come back to bite you? Me neither.

Did I, Deakon Brosley of Screaming Shadows, ever think I would care? Not for a second.

For years I lived life to the fullest and could have cared less about what other people thought. That was until I felt a magnetic pull to someone I couldn’t ignore.

That person was Sadie, my bandmate’s damaged, snarky housekeeper who has the personality of a toad. The maddening thing about this is it’s girls like her I’d normally go out of my way to avoid. Sadie’s easy on the eye. Physically, she’s my type … from her incredibly long auburn hair, right down her cute, little painted toes. But that’s not the burning attraction. It’s more about the wired connection whenever she's near me.

Part of my problem is I sense it’s a two-way thing, but the girl won’t budge on her mood. Not that I blame her. I usually don’t do romance or relationships, they’re more trouble than they’re worth.

She’s arrogant, discourteous, impertinent, and rude—this list is far from exhausted.

So how come I can’t get her out of my head and find I can’t resist her? Beats me.

The attraction I felt was instant, but that was before she spoke. Hell, perhaps in some sadistic way I get turned on by being slapped down by her vindictive, scathing tongue. This point is a real possibility because since I’ve lived with fame, it’s rarely ever done.

My bandmate, her boss, is overprotective of her, and constantly warns me off. So why am I so persistent and determined to get under her skin? Could it be that one damaged soul has found another?
