(Inspired by the song Strawberry Wine) ON SALE NOW FOR 99¢! PUBLISHED VERSION AVAILABLE ON AMAZON THROUGH KENSINGTON PUBLISHING! "You're so beautiful," Jake murmured as his fingers worked their way down, much lower than they'd ever been before. Sharp tingles shot throughout my body and spread to my core in electrifying waves. How was it possible to feel scared and exhilarated all at once? * * * * * Small-town girl, Addison Monroe, has plans to make the most out of the summer before her senior year. Once school begins, she'll be bogged down with the stress of college applications, making her precious free time a distant memory. Her vacation would consist of sizzling days at the beach, rowdy bonfires at night, and avoiding the bully who'd been her date to junior prom, no matter how hard he persisted. Falling in love had not been on the agenda. That changes when college man, Jake Grady, enters her life. Employed by her grandparents to work at the family farm for the summer, Jake ignites feelings in Addy she's never felt before, and is dying to experience again. She begins to fall fast for the sexy Texas cowboy and soon realizes that once break ends they will be forced to say goodbye forever. Follow Addy as she stumbles through a summer of first loves, first times and first heartbreaks, and find out why the summer she turned eighteen became the most memorable summer of her life. *Strawberry Wine is loosely based on a song by the same name, and is the winner of The Write Affair contest sponsored by Wattpad and Kensington Publication.

Ryan wasn't expecting to end up with the captain of the hockey team as a roommate, and she certainly didn't expect the initial sexual tension between them to blossom into love. ***** In desperate need of a place to stay, Ryan Winters doesn't see an issue with rooming with the captain of the hockey team, Ethan Russell. After all, she's focused on her studies, getting over an ex, and honestly, not that into athletes. Though the more time she spends getting to know her new roommate, the more it becomes apparent that Ethan is the exact type of guy she could fall for. When lines begin to blur and drama from the past threatens to tear them apart, can the two of them find a way to keep both their friendship-and their relationship-from crumbling to pieces?
