Kate Morgan walked out on her boyfriend seven years ago, without so much as a backward glance. She had no idea he'd go on to become the notorious Aidan Sands, Hollywood 'It' Boy and frequent flier of the celebrity gossip columns. Now Aidan's back in the picture, trying to rekindle the past - and neither of them can shake the feeling that they're trapped inside some formulaic Hollywood chick flick. He's an LA heartthrob with impulse-control issues, who always gets caught with his pants down in the most embarrassing places. She's an uptight Manhattan workaholic who can't stand that he's already co-starred with every leading lady in town. Can these two produce a remake that's better than the original? Or are romantic comedies a lot less funny when you're living them in real life? Copyright © 2014 All Rights Reserved Note: This is an original novel.

BAD BOYS IN LOVE, BOOK 1 When high-school quarterback, Harvey Remington's whole family passes away in a brutal car accident, he loses all will to live. That's until he discovers that he's not completely alone, that there's one survivor; his baby nephew. All hopes of raising the kid himself come crashing down when he's informed that his arch-nemesis' family, the über-rich Kincaids, are the godparents who will be given custody of the baby. With no stable income and no living relatives to support him, getting guardianship seems impossible. The solution? Marriage. ● "Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to witness the union of Gideon Elijah Kincaid and Harvey Zak Remington in holy matrimony. If any person can show just cause why they may not be joined together, let them speak now or forever hold their peace." I press my lips together to prevent myself from shouting at the top of my lungs that I do. Yes, I have a huge problem with marrying my arch-nemesis, and I'd like to be NOT tied to this asshole 'till death' - or for the few years until I'm up on my own feet - thank you very much. Gideon narrows his dark silver eyes at me as he squeezes my hands in his grip, silently warning me to maintain my slipping composure. I take a deep breath and let my eyes wander over to the side - where my very adorable nephew is sitting on Gideon's mom's lap, bouncing excitedly as he watches all the bright lights and decor with the awe-filled wide eyes that only babies can pull off. My heart clenches at the sight because the oblivious baby has no clue that his whole world has been ripped away from under him, that I am the only person he has left. I sigh internally at the unfairness of it all. With a renewed determination to do everything I possibly can to do right by the little human, I steel myself and give Gideon a wide smile, doing my best to make it seem like he's the most important person to me on the planet. I can do this. I can stay married to the bad boy.

[ON HOLD] BAD BOYS IN LOVE, BOOK 2 (Note: Each book in the series features a different couple and can be read as a standalone.) ~ ❝You give me the kind of feelings people write novels about. ❞ ~ Ryker Lachlan, charming, sweet, sexy, and oblivious; he's the out and proud gay member of the infamous trio of bad boys of Riverton High. He may not be super-smart like his two best friends, but he's intuitive enough to understand certain things; things which his emotionally-deprived friends usually fail to comprehend. He has always been sure of two such things in his life: 1. He's definitely not into girls. (Yeah, He can admit it to himself, unlike his stubborn, "straight" best friends) 2. He had arrived at that conclusion partly because of his undying crush on a certain extremely smart, cute, and gorgeous football player, Axel Cordovan. When external circumstances suddenly bring Ryker in close contact with his longtime crush every day, he only has two options; to act like a tongue-tied idiot around him, or to seize the opportunity and make the guy realize that one's sexuality isn't as rigid as people think, after all. But what he doesn't anticipate, is the sudden mess he gets himself into when his feelings are outed without his permission. Now, he has to deal with an on-the-rocks friendship with a hopefully not-straight jock, and the unexpectedly scrambled-up bond with his life-long best friend. Will Ryker wade through the tumultuous seas of his heart and recognize the one he holds extraordinary emotions for? Or will his hesitation end in him being too late and losing the one he belongs with?
