One Woman

Confusion, shame, and guilt are eating away at Frankie Sutton. In the past year she’s gone from being her mother’s meek personal assistant to becoming the star of the hit film Tempest. Now, only one task remains—promoting in America. Two interviews in two cities in two weeks. It would be quite the lovely holiday were she not paired up with Colin Fletcher, the man who’d spent the past decade haunting her dreams . . . not to mention her most recent fantasies.

One Man

Maxwell Parker fell in love with Francesca the moment he laid eyes on her and he wants nothing more than to shout it from the rooftops. Only the fear he still sees in her eyes at times keeps him from doing so. And the fact that she still doesn’t know his real name. . . He’s worked hard over the past year to earn her trust, but there’s still one wall he can’t seem to break through. Is it too much to hope that two weeks together might finally make her see him in a different light?

Two Secrets

Ten years ago at a drunken party, Colin Fletcher shoved a fresh-faced young girl into a dark room where he proceeded to assault her. Keeping the events of this night a secret has eaten away at Frankie and divided her family. The time has come for her to end the silence.
A complicated series of events has led Max to assume his brother Colin’s identity. With the farce nearly over, he wonders if Frankie will ever see him for the man he is, or will she always look at him and see a monster?

Book Two of the Tempest Trilogy, Standing on the Precipice features many of the characters readers came to know and love in Begin Anew. 

The impulsive wild child has returned home . . .


Ten years ago, Alexandra Sutton-Smith fled London, leaving her mother, Georgie, angry and heartbroken. Now she's back, struggling to make amends and find her way back into a family she fears doesn't want her back. Once again, she has run away, only to find that some troubles are impossible to escape from. After all, despite what people say, what happens in Vegas doesn't always stay there . . .


London's Most Eligible Bachelor is looking to ditch the title . . .


One steamy night on a California beach has Liam McKenna yearning to cast a certain blonde temptress as his permanent leading lady. Discovering her engagement to one of his co-stars throws a wrench into that plan.

At its heart, Second Chances is about reconnecting. Mothers with daughters. Grandmothers with their grandsons. This third and final (???) installment of The Tempest Trilogy promises a happily ever after for all involved . . . especially one precocious, if silent, five year old girl.

It's the most wonderful time of the year. . .
Or it would be if Georgie Sutton's world wasn't currently crashing down around her. One little misconstrued photo in the pages of the tabloids and her dreams are in danger of going up in smoke. Unless she can quickly find a man to marry and cleanse her soiled reputation.

 

Enter one Blue-eyed devil
Donovan McDougal fell for Georgie at first sight and is all for wedding the high-spirited lass. His only request - one date. A chance to prove that he is more than capable of lighting her fire.
