She's survived everything - except family. Grace has spent her life outrunning the past: a childhood of scars, the system that failed her, and an ex who nearly destroyed her. At twenty-four, she's finally free - until a DNA test reveals a half-sister she never knew, and an invitation to a town where blood runs thick and the rules are written in chrome and loyalty. Her brothers don't want her there. Their motorcycle club doesn't trust her. And Ash - tattooed, ice-eyed, and unreadable - keeps his distance. Until he doesn't. Because the moment Grace starts to matter, everything shifts. Tensions rise, threats surface, and Ash finds himself crossing lines he swore he wouldn't - especially for someone like her. She's survived the worst the world could throw at her. But in a place where trust is earned in bruises and belonging is paid for in blood, learning to be protected might be the one thing that breaks her. -_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- Very slow burn - don't say I didn't warn you! But worth it, I promise. Enemies to lovers vibes. Intended for audiences 18+

Lexi Nelson interests me in a way no woman has in years. Unfortunately, she wants nothing to do with me and makes so secret of that fact. My friends are baffled watching me chase after this cold, prickly woman who seems to have nothing but disdain for my very existence. One passionate encounter in a parking lot, however, leaves me convinced that Lexi isn't what she seems to be, and if I can just get her to let me in, I'll find enough warmth to last a lifetime. The only thing that's certain, however, I can't walk away now even if I wanted to. Once bitten, twice shy. I know what happens when I let men get too close; I know not to trust their sweet whispered words and promises of love. I won't let myself be hurt that way again. So I will ignore the way Daniel Wright's smile makes my stomach flutter like I'm a girl with her first crush. And I'll ignore everything inside me that wishes I could trust what he offers. But after a small lie that I told my mother to stop her matchmaking snowballs, I might not have a choice but to let Daniel in. The deal was, we pretend we're in a relationship until after my sister's wedding. The rules: no sex and no feelings. But the closer Daniel and I get, the more I'm tempted to throw out the rules and give him everything. But when the past comes back to haunt both of us, I have to decide if I'm willing to trust again or if I'm going to walk away for good. This is the second book in my Home In Cedar City series. Book one: Love, Second Chances and Other Nonsense is currently available to read on Amazon KU. This is a fake dating, grumpy/sunshine story with angst and OW drama. HEA guaranteed.

The man I married broke me. Not because he didn't love me- but because he couldn't stay when grief moved in. Three pregnancies. Three losses. One marriage that shattered under the weight of everything we couldn't fix. And somewhere in the silence, in the distance I didn't know how to cross, he made a choice that broke what little I had left. If only I had known how fragile love could be. This is a story about loss that doesn't heal cleanly. About love tested in the quiet. About betrayal that doesn't come from hate-but from weakness. Sometimes heartbreak doesn't arrive all at once. Sometimes it happens slowly, while you're still trying to hold everything together.
