Determined to get over Jason and find a man that wants a family, she moves to Breckenridge, Colorado.
Landing a job skiing every day, Casey finds Blaine Johnson - a wish come true. A hunky surfer turned ski instructor, he checks off every requirement on her list.

When Jason comes to town, Casey questions everything she wished for. Their consuming love threatens to explode and ruin her dream. Will she have to choose between a family and the love of her life?
"I wanted him, but more than that, I didn't want to disappear again. That scared me the most."
Miranda Preston is a walking contradiction. Beautiful on the outside, but, insecure, haunted and damaged on the inside. Despite these contradictions, she’s ready to start Another New Life.
When her talent wins her a piano scholarship to the University of Texas at Austin, Miranda arrives on campus determined to experience everything college has to offer and to keep her secrets in the past where they belong.
An easy task, until the first guy who catches her eye happens to be someone she’s known all her life.
Eight years have passed since the last time Miranda and Troy saw each other. He reminds her of the best and worst times of her life, but she can’t think about one without dwelling on the other. As they grow closer, every day their attraction reminds them they are no longer kids.
The epic romantic love story that is Miranda and Troy seems to be destined for a happy ending, but Miranda knows it's only a matter of time before her secret is discovered. A secret that will not only destroy their relationship, it will destroy Troy, too.
Can Miranda focus on her future with Troy while preventing her past from tearing them apart all over again?
‘Nothing is worth losing you,’ he whispered.
‘You wouldn’t lose me. I’d be there to support you and help you reach your dreams.’ I smiled and ran my hand down his beautiful face.
At eighteen, Ava is sure she has found her soul mate in Jardine. Convincing their friends and family that what they have is more than just a crush, however, is an entirely different story. Jardine's parents have his life mapped out with plans that don't include Ava.
Their plans to get into med school and start their future together crumble when cricket sensation Jardine is selected to play for the Australian team, and expected to spend most of the year touring internationally. Ava knows since they agreed to follow their dreams, no matter the cost, she has to let Jardine go.
Ava also discovers a new inspiration to move on with her life. But can she keep it a secret from Jardine? If he discovers the truth, everything between them could be destroyed.
“Sweet as hell. Unexpected. Reassuring. It was as if he wanted me to know, in his own particular Noah way, that he hadn’t forgotten about me.”
He’s twenty-four. She’s eighteen.
His life is exactly the way he’s always wanted it to be...stable.
She’s quite possibly the very definition of unstable.
Noah saved her.
Georgina never wanted to be saved.
Growing up, Noah Clark was passed from one relative to the next until he finally ended up living with his abusive, alcoholic uncle in Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina. Thanks in part to the unwavering love and support of his best friend, Ellie Turner, Noah survived those years, escaped his uncle, and grew into the man he is today. Now he runs his own business and lives a pretty normal, no-nonsense life—one where he maintains a high level of control.
Georgina is Ellie’s younger sister. Four months ago, Noah saved Georgie’s life, but he thought that was where his involvement with his friend’s sister would end. Now Georgie has returned home from the recovery facility her parents sent her away to and Noah, still haunted by the night that connects them, can’t stop himself from continuously trying to protect this girl he barely knows. But is he willing to give up all of the control he’s worked so hard to build in his life and risk everything for her? Even more importantly, would she do the same for him?
McGreers Special Christmas Edition, McGreers #7
"He hadn’t taken his eyes from hers.
They were the blue-grey of the sky now. Sunlight sparked against them.His lips were close, then they met hers.
When she kissed him back, it felt like she was melting inside, melting into Shane McGreer."
Fresh-faced intern Candi Bamberger flies to Beaver Creek, Colorado to scope out the action, but not the kind smokin’ snowboard star Shane McGreer has in mind! Shane shows her amazing moves, and not just in the half-pipe. He’s fallen hard, but Candi’s in deep freeze. Will he warm her up in time for a McGreer Ranch Christmas Eve?
"Here it is. Here is all I have to give. Everything in my life comes down to you." ~Brant Edgemont
Holly Edgemont used to love celebrating Christmas, that is, until her whole world was turned upside down by an unexpected divorce from her college sweetheart Brant. This year, not only is she divorced, but the kids are going out of state with her ex Brant, leaving her utterly alone. Holly's party-girl friend Sloane tries to break her out of her frump by dragging her along to holiday parties where Holly meets cute and available Chris. But when Holly realizes that she still has feelings for Brant, she has a decision to make: Learn to trust her long time love who broke her heart, or move on for good.
Brant Edgemont is a divorced father of three, and hopelessly in love with his ex-wife, Holly. He made the biggest mistake of his life walking out two years ago. Despite his pleas to reconnect, Holly still resists him. Is it too late to rekindle their love? Or will Holly move on for good, leaving Brant himself heartbroken and alone? Down To You is not just a romantic love story. It is a story of familial love, friendship, betrayal, redemption, and the magic that can happen at Christmas time when friends and family join together.

"We’ve entered dangerous territory. You can’t kiss someone with so much emotion if you’re preparing to walk away."
She's ready to give up on life, hiding her depression with sarcasm and booze. He's got a secret and quit college, with few friends to lean on. When they discover each other, the sexual attraction is undeniable. So why does it seem impossible for them to be together?
Everyone wanted to be Jewels Peterson in high school. Naturally beautiful, exceptionally smart, talented cheerleader, life of the party, and with an All-American boyfriend to boot. One regrettable choice and fatal accident later, and Jewels found herself unceremoniously knocked off her pedestal. Now she’s in college, going through the motions, but not really living.
Adam Murphy is easy-going, charming, considerate, and crazy good looking; he’s exactly the kind of guy Jewels pictures herself being happy with. But Jewels is already involved with someone, and Adam makes it known that he’s guarding a dark secret, one that makes him the wrong guy for her. Trumped by the promise of an innocent friendship, Jewels is forced to ignore her overwhelming hunger for Adam.
After Jewels unknowingly helps Adam create a bucket list, they embark on the adventure of a lifetime that pushes their platonic relationship to its limits. But does she want to be with Adam without knowing the truth behind the skeletons in his closet, or is being with him just another pointless thing in her life?
Passionate Hippie + Hot Lumberjack = Enough heat to melt the fiercest Alaskan snow storm.
Cassidy catches a plane to Alaska to meet celebrity and friend, Jeremy Wren, to tackle her biggest environmental protest to date. But when she gets there, Jeremy's flaked again and now she has to take on the Goliath, Whetman Logging, by herself.
But lumberjack, Teague Whetman isn't who she expected. He's sexy and nerdy and nothing like his old man--the Whetman behind the monster that she's come to destroy. Determined to see her protest through, she handcuffs herself to his saw and shuts down the operation...right as a late-Spring storm rolls in.
Hammered by the snow, the little town of Bear Ridge shuts down, including the airport and Cassidy's way out. Left with no other option, and with the storm turning deadly, Teague takes her to his place...
Will Teague and Cassidy be able to keep each other at arm's length, or will the softly falling snow, candlelight, and their intense attraction be too much to resist?

Excerpts for KILL DEVIL HILLS tour
Excerpt #1:
It
wasn’t Ellie. That was for damn certain.
It
was Georgina.
My
eyes were semi-adjusted to the darkness and apparently hers were not. Because
her figure, outlined just vaguely in moonlight, hair wet and dressed in loose
pajamas, snuck into the guestroom. The door closed softly behind her, and she
unknowingly sat down on top of me. Her body made contact with mine for a mere
fraction of a second before she jumped away as if I’d electrocuted her,
disappearing into the shadows of the room.
“Hello?”
she yelped. “Who’s there?”
“Georgie,
it’s me,” I said as gently as possible, trying not to scare her further.
“Oh,”
she exhaled. It was a soft sound, but loud against the quiet night. “Sorry. I
didn’t know you were here. I didn’t mean to wake you up.”
“You
didn’t wake me. Are you okay?”
I’d
known her since she was a kid, and we’d never had a one-on-one like this conversation
before. I couldn’t even see her face, but for some unexplainable reason my
heart was racing.
She
was hardly that little kid anymore.
“I’m
okay,” she answered. “It’s just…I didn’t want to sleep upstairs. I’m sorry.
I’ll leave.”
Swinging
my legs over the edge of the bed, I stood up so fast I nearly gave myself whiplash.
“No. You sleep here. I can sleep out on the couch.” I didn’t give her a chance
to protest as I speedily left the room, the sweet scent of her shampoo filling
my nostrils as I hurried past her. Before she could stop me, I shut the door
behind me.
The
table lamp had been left on and the light blinded my unadjusted eyes. I turned
it off and then made myself comfortable (or rather, uncomfortable) on the couch.
My legs were a good two feet longer than the damn thing and no blankets could
be found—but I was too confused by my brief conversion with Georgie to care. She didn’t want to sleep upstairs? I
guess I understood that. Her dead brother’s room and the bathroom she tried to
commit suicide in were upstairs. I wouldn’t want to be up there either. But why
was my heart still racing?
After
a few minutes the pounding slowed and exhaustion washed over me. This day had
been strange, the last half hour stranger, but I finally started to drift off
to sleep. Except, the moment I did, Georgie’s voice cut across the
room—startling me all over again.
“Noah,”
she called softly, my name sounding different
coming from her. “I’ll never sleep knowing you’re out here on that tiny couch.
Trade me, please.”
“No,”
I told her firmly. I might be a lot of things, but I sure as fuck wasn’t about
to make a girl sleep on this couch.
She
didn’t go back into the room. “Seriously. Please.”
“No,”
I repeated, hoping I didn’t sound like an asshole. “If we trade, then I
wouldn’t sleep.”
“Then…”
Her voice faltered but after a long pause she finished her thought. “Then maybe
you should share with me. It’s a big bed. I don’t mind. And I’ll keep on my
side—promise.”
What?! Good sense told me not move, but
that was not what happened. I stood. My feet carried me across the room and
briskly past her before I could even comprehend what I was doing. She silently
followed. I knew nothing was going to happen, but this sure wasn’t how I ever
expected to spend my night. Through the dark grayness I watched her move for
the left side of the bed.
“No,
I have to have that side. Take the right,” I told her even though my insides
were now screaming with apprehension. Seriously,
what the fuck was I getting myself into?
Excerpt #2:
Dammit,
this girl was more drama than I ever bargained for. It didn’t matter, though. Because
maybe, just maybe, she was going to be worth everything to me.
I
retraced my footsteps, followed the stone stairs from the sand up to the deck,
and found the table where everyone, minus Georgie, still sat.
“Where
is she?” I demanded, not bothering to be polite.
Three
blank faces and one smug face stared back at me.
“Nine
minutes,” Ellie answered, checking her phone. “Booyah. Someone owes me a Coke.”
“I’m
serious, Ellie. Where is she?”
Ellie
took a giant breath. Then she pushed out her chair and made a big show of
standing to her feet. That easygoing, shit-eating grin that always lingered on
her face—it vanished. And a stern face, one I hardly recognized, replaced it. “Sit
down your ass down, Noah.”
What? “Why?” I asked, leery.
“Because
I have something to say.”
She
meant business and Ellie never meant business. So I sat my ass down.
She
sat back down in her chair, as well. “Here’s the deal,” she said, the entire
table drawn into our conversation. Even Rhett seemed mesmerized. “You’re my
best friend, Noah, but Georgie…she’s my baby sister. I love you, but if you’re
not one-hundred bazillion percent sure about her—right now, right this
moment—then you need to stop this. I can’t see her hurt. Never again. It would
crush me.”
My
jaw tightened. “That’s not what I want and you already know that.”
“I
know,” she muttered, her voice cracking. Shit.
I never meant to upset her.
And
then I glanced up. Something across the room caught my eye. Georgie. She was
talking to her asshole ex or current boyfriend or whatever the hell he was. I
already knew Logan. He was Ben’s friend. I just hadn’t made the connection
between him and Georgie earlier. Before this moment, based on my past knowledge
of the guy, I’d already pegged him as a decent man. But he instantly became an
asshole in my book—because what kind of fool would give up on such an amazing
girl like Georgie? A real fucking asshole—that was who.
Ellie
noticed what I’d seen and our conversation ended. All conversation at the table
ended. Georgie stood there talking to the asshole for what felt like forever. I
didn’t charge across the room or do anything stupid—because, frankly, that had
never been my style. I knew when to shut my mouth, and I knew when to bide my
time. And I also realized I knew Georgie a little better than I thought.
At
work earlier, I’d spent a full thirty minutes studying her, memorizing that
sexy little body of hers. When she felt comfortable, she had an easygoing, playful
way about her. Not too unlike Ellie. But the Georgie I observed now, had her
arms crossed tightly over his stomach and a rigid posture. She was wildly
uncomfortable and possibly in pain. And every ounce of my being, every bone in
my body, tingled with the need to go save her—to interrupt her conversation
with the asshole, swoop her up in my arms, and just carry her out of this
place.
I
was about to go do exactly that because I couldn’t take another nanosecond of
this torture. But then she jetted out her hand and he shook it. Well, that was
a fucking relief. A handshake was about the last thing I’d ever want Georgie to
offer me. It spoke volumes. It told me all I needed to know.
Logan
gave her a small, cringe-worthy hug and they parted ways. Georgie back in my
direction and Logan off in the other direction. And as Georgie turned around, I
noticed a little falter in her step as she spotted me across the room. Heat
scorched through my body as her eyes collided with mine.
That
moment had come—the moment where I couldn’t go another minute without knowing
what those sweet, plump lips of hers would taste like.
“I’m
one-hundred bazillion percent sure,” I whispered to Ellie, standing, while my
eyes stayed focused on Georgie. I left the table, crossed the room, and gave
her the kiss my whole damn body was aching for.
