Naughty Santa – November 19
Dear Santa,
I’ve been a very naughty girl…
California born and bred, Paris only came to North Pole, Indiana to spruce up and sell the kitschy shop she inherited. But when she meets Joe the handyman and all of his country boy muscles, she just can’t help herself. He doesn’t do casual sex – but she’s determined to do him because Paris refuses to leave town without seeing his big package and spreading a little holiday cheer of the sexy variety.
Dear Santa,
I’ve been a very good man…
Joe is an upstanding guy, who works hard, helps raise his nephew, and plays Santa at the town’s annual holiday party. But he can’t resist the hot brunette from L.A. and before he can say “ho ho ho” she’s got him throwing over all his rules and dragging her to his bed.
Now all he wants for Christmas is every night in Paris…
Naughty Santa has been greatly revised and was previously titled Big Package.

Taken by Storm (Perfect Storm, book 1) – January 7
There’s a storm coming… and he’s not taking no for an answer.
Life has dealt Kasi one blow after another. Following her mother’s untimely death, her family implodes, leaving her alone to run the farm. Fatigue and stress have become her new best friends, every day passing in a blur of work, work, and more work. When Levi Storm, her lifelong crush, keeps her from face-planting due to exhaustion, she’s mortified…and more than a little bit turned on.
A person could set a clock by Levi’s daily routine, right down to his afternoon trip to the Mills’ farm market to buy one of Kasi’s delicious pies. He’s known Kasi her entire life, so when the beautiful young woman faints in front of him, coming to in his arms, Levi is stunned by the sudden realization that she’s meant to be his, and he’s prepared to move heaven and earth to claim her.
Kasi should at least try to shake the sexy new six foot five shadow she’s acquired, but Levi’s much-needed help around the farm, his comfort as she struggles with grief, and his breath-stealing kisses are reigniting the hope and happiness she’s lost.
Until reality crashes in again, forcing her to choose between the dominant, possessive, amazing man who makes her heart race and her family’s beloved farm.

Resist (Stingrays Hockey, book 2) – February 25
This one-night stand is going into overtime.
The Stingrays call goalie Coulton Moore their gentle giant. The tall, imposing man is the team’s rock, their steadying influence on and off the ice. However, that mild disposition disappears completely when the beautiful bartender he’s been lusting after from across a crowded bar is attacked. Then, it’s all bets off as he steps in to defend her, protect her, and claim her as his.
Ainsley doesn’t have time for any more men in her life. Between serving a rowdy bunch of guys in her family’s dive bar, caring for her ailing father, and dealing with her brother and his ever-growing pile of gambling debt, her cup overfloweth when it comes to the male population.
When her brother’s enemies track her down, looking for retribution, a sexy, dominant stranger steps forward to save her. At first, it’s simple enough to accept his help and his kisses and his tantalizing touches because, after a lifetime of crap, she figures she’s due a night of mind-blowing passion with Coulton, the hottest man she’s ever met.
The problem begins when morning comes and he informs her what they shared was never going to be just a one-night stand. Nope. Coulton, the stubborn, determined, possessive man is settling for nothing less than her.
And forever.
