The Breakaway Series

SOMETHING SO SWEET

Big dreams. Tierney Chandler had 'em. Why else would she leave her small town--and her picture-perfect fiancé--behind? Nine years later, the town's still small, her dreams are mostly still dreams, and her still-perfect ex is still interested. And, it turns out, so is his cousin. 

Jack Elliott has changed a lot in the years since Tierney left, even if his old crush on her hasn’t. His easy charm (and irresistible baked goods) reel her in, and she finds herself making excuses to come home for the first time in years.

Can Tierney convince Jack that he’s taken a backseat to his perfect cousin long enough, and it’s his turn to grab the HEA they both deserve?

Goodnight & go

Happy ever afters are for suckers, and Cat Keller is no sucker. After years of watching her mother go from marriage to marriage, heartbreak to heartbreak, she’s put a set of rules into place–never stay the night, never bring a boy home–to avoid the same fate.

Then she meets radio deejay and local heartthrob Jude Oliver.

One by one, Cat’s rules bend and break under Jude’s patience and persistence. Soon, only one rule remains: no falling in love. Can Cat keep the walls around her heart intact? Or will she face her biggest fears and allow herself to fall?

ready to run

Comic book artist Sunny Oliver is prepared for anything. Rabid fans? No biggie. Zombie apocalypse? Piece of cake. Her older brother’s best friend? Er…not so much. He’s chipper. He’s obnoxious. He’s…hot?

Wait, what?

Ben Owens has always been a one girl kinda guy–one girl a NIGHT, that is. Sunny knows that getting involved with him is heartache waiting to happen. She should run, far and fast. But the way he looks at her makes her want to drop her walls…and her pants.

Will they give in to their newfound feelings, or will their past hurts–and present pressures–break them before they even begin?

The How You Get the Girl Series

Make a Move

Nate Kim has it all. A successful comic book career, a booming business, awesome friends and family. Except, his younger brother just got married, and his older brother just announced baby number three. And...well, Nate has never been close to any of that. Literally. Every time a girl finds out he’s never, uh, been intimate, she hightails it in the other direction. What’s a thirty-one-year-old virgin to do?

Enter Birdie Oliver. She’s a razor-sharp tattoo artist with no ink of her own, who’s mastered the art of avoiding forever. She didn’t mean to make out with Nate Kim. And she DEFINITELY didn’t mean to like it so much. After all, she learned years ago that saying yes meant losing parts of herself. That’s SO not happening again. No matter HOW good those kisses were.

One drunken night ignites something neither of them expected, but there’s one problem: Birdie doesn’t know Nate’s secret. Will Nate’s V-card send Birdie running, or will she be the one to finally make a move?

hard to handle

When a string of event cancellations lands comic book artist Anya Atwood in Port Agnes without a place to stay, she finds herself shacking up with the crankiest bartender she’s ever met. Annoying him proves to be the perfect way to pass the time till she can get back on the road. It certainly doesn’t hurt that he’s hot. Real hot.

Bar owner Vaughn Murphy has a problem. Well, a few of them, actually. The most pressing one is the woman sleeping on his couch. He doesn’t have time for her kitchen tornadoes or the underwear she leaves hanging in his bathroom. He definitely doesn’t have time for whatever’s smoldering between them.  He’s got a business to save.

When Vaughn asks Anya to help rebrand his struggling bar, she finds she can’t say no. The more time they spend together, the hotter the sparks burn. But Anya isn’t here for long, and Vaughn’s roots run deep. Can he convince her that their short-term arrangement has forever potential?
