A cute, well thought out story about a guy and girl who bond over zombie movies and pretzel dust… It’s also a book about love, friendship and forgiveness.” Cheryl, Romance in Color

Usually sensible Layla Price stuns herself when she spends the night with a handsome stranger. Blaming it on a freak rainstorm and Bastian Raynes’s heroic rescue, Layla believes she’ll never see him again. She’s only in this small town to end some silly family feud. Except…Bastian’s family is on the other end of that feud and Layla’s hiding her real identity. Adding this new drama to the old, Layla should steer clear of the former military man. But can she?

HEA Collective Book Release The Water Guardian

I’m happy to share The Water Guardian, my novella release with the HEA Collective.

As a writer, it’s always fun to do something different. And I’m also thrilled about the book cover. A big thanks to CJC Photography and models David Willis and Tara.

Three other titles are also in the mix this month by Abigail Owen, Elizabeth SaFleur and R.L. Merrill. Don’t forget–novellas are the perfect bite-sized reads at the end of the day or for the weekend.

About the book:

It was supposed to be a simple messenger job: deliver a medallion. But when Kayla Mitchell’s mentor is almost killed and she discovers that the medallion is magical, she finds herself compelled to find the true owner – an adventure that puts her on a boat in the middle of a storm that’s tearing her tiny vessel apart. That is, until out of nowhere, a hot guy swims to her rescue…

Xander is a disgraced ancient guardian of water, embracing a life of exile after a tortured past. When a mortal woman shows up with a “calling stone” signifying the possibility of a fated mate, he tries to resist, not trusting supernatural powers that caused him so much pain. She trusts in magic, and believes in him. He trusts in no one – but can’t seem to resist her. Can they get past their differences… and embrace fate?

A welcome second chance…

After their ill-fated fling quashed her dreams, small-town chef Philippa Gayle’s onetime rival-turned-lover Dominic Crawford upended her life. But when Philippa’s forced together with the celebrity cook on a project that could change her life, there’s no denying that the flames that were lit years ago were only banked, not extinguished. Can Philippa trust Dominic enough to let him in…or are they just cooking up another heartbreak?
