A knowing look passed by in his azure irises, paired with something that resembled - dare she say - lust or adoration. He then shook his head in loving impatience, scoffing. "I can never win with you," he muttered. She wanted to pursue. She wanted to ask him. But she didn't. She had wanted to ask for a long time, but she never could. She never really knew why. This time included, as she just ignored what she just witnessed and shrugged. "Yeah, well, I'm a hard person to reject." He made sure their gazes met as he said, "I know." ** Luke Jordan had everything he could have ever wanted. Cars, houses, a company he built with his own sweat and blood, friends, women, you name it. If there was anything that he didn't have, he could easily buy it with the money he had more than he needed. But the one thing he wanted, he couldn't have. Had Katie Boyd been any other woman, he would have taken her to bed right from the beginning and give her the best night of her life. But life loved playing games with him and Katie Boyd wasn't just any other woman. She was his best friend's younger sister and eleven years younger than him. Work was enough distraction for five years, all of them spent wanting her but not having her. He had resigned to this unrequited love that would never quit until his best friend made a decision to go on a holiday and leave his sister under Luke's care. Will Luke be able to keep himself away from Katie? Or will sparks fly and cook up something that he never anticipated to happen between them?

Mia Sanchez lives a simple life—she enjoys her work as a teacher, going to yoga, and spending evenings drinking tea on the porch with her boyfriend of ten years, Ryan. Then one day she comes home to find Ryan packing his things, and her perfectly organized life falls apart. In a desperate attempt to get Mia out of bed, her best friend Emily arranges for her to spend a week in Greece with her late grandmother’s sister, Elpida Katrakis. Mia’s never met Elpida, she’s never even been to Greece, but she knows she can’t spend the rest of her life under the covers. So armed with a travel journal, and a promise she made to Emily—to kiss the first Greek man she meets—Mia embarks on what she thinks will be a simple week of getting to know her grandmother’s elderly sister.

2017 Red Ribbon winner, The Wishing Shelf international book awards (Adult-Fiction). A tattoo artist is pursued by the man of her dreams, but her biker-gang friends mistake him for a hit man out to get her. It's 1995, and Galen Randall, the world's greatest nature photographer, is a recluse who, ironically, has never been photographed. Lourdes O'Malley idolizes the faceless Galen Randall and dreams of taking pictures like he does someday. Meanwhile, she works in her pop's tattoo parlor in Miami. Buddy the Blade is a hitman who claims he was in Las Vegas at the time a certain murder went down in Miami. Only Lou O'Malley knows that Buddy was in her chair, getting inked, that day. His alibi is blown if she ever testifies against him. Buddy needs to silence Lou. Lou is beloved by hundreds of motorcycle gang members, who wear her inked art proudly. So, when the bikers hear that Buddy the Blade wants to get rid of Lou, the gangs rally to protect her. Then, by chance (if you believe in "chance"), Randall meets Lou. He is smitten. He follows her when she takes a trip Out West to photograph the national parks there. Neither Lou nor her biker friends know who Randall is and, as it happens, her friends will only recognize Buddy the Blade if they can see the ornate tattoo Lou inked on his back. As a result, Randall is searching for Lou all over Moab, Utah, while motorcycle goons follow Randall, thinking he is Buddy the Blade. Other motorcycle thugs follow Lou, thinking to keep her safe. The bikers try scaring Randall, misdirecting Randall, ambushing Randall, having him arrested on trumped up charges, anything to keep him from finding Lou. The bikers following Lou try many gambits to keep her from seeing them, but Lou outsmarts them again and again. It's a muddle of murder, motorcyclists, and mistaken identities, culminating in a life-and-death contest between Galen Randall and Buddy the Blade, with Lou O'Malley's life as the prize.
