It's been months and Brenda has been begging her to go on a date with her older brother's best friend. Of course Audrey has declined. She's been married before and is happy being single while she works on her dream career. But Brenda's nagging finally sends her over the edge and she gives in, just to have a moment of peace. She figures Dan's friend won't agree to a date, because he's been saying no this whole time, too. To her dismay, he changes his mind and says yes to one date. True to her word, she goes on the date, only to be just as disappointed as she expected. Should she give him a second chance, or are the odds against her that she'll ever find someone who doesn't act like a grown child?

What Happens at the Rodeo
Tristan's life has never gone the way he planned. He married his high school sweetheart too young, became a father before he was ready, and now he's trapped in a toxic marriage with a woman who doesn't value him-or their little girl, Emily. The rodeo was supposed to be his escape, a place where he could still breathe, but even the arena can't hide the truth: Tristan is living someone else's dream, not his own. Loneliness and disappointment push him into dangerous choices. An affair with an older woman shows him the kind of warmth and passion he's been missing, but it's not enough to heal the emptiness inside him. Then a flood in Arizona strands him in a hotel with Adrian-a woman who stirs something deeper than desire. With her, Tristan glimpses the kind of love and future he's always longed for, but never believed he deserved. Now, he's standing at a crossroads. To claim the life he wants, Tristan must face the hardest truths of all: breaking free from a marriage that's breaking him, letting go of past mistakes, and daring to fight for a second chance at happiness. Because sometimes, what happens at the rodeo isn't about the ride in the arena-it's about finding the courage to ride into a new life. **If you would like your own copy for Kindle or a paperback (That I will gladly sign if you catch me out at my booths!

You may think it's that easy to break it off with her but Jackson's and Amanda's parents are best friends and plan for them to get married once they are out of highschool. Dakotas feelings grow more and more everytime she sees Jackson. The real question though is does Jacksons feelings grow for Dakota as well? ***********This book is kind of like a spin off from College mom-to-be. You do not HAVE to read College mom-to-be first to understand this book because it has it's own story line. It's basically just the characters because the story is from the daughter's point of view now. If you DO plan to read College mom-to-be I would suggest reading that first though because it does give stuff away from that book. Anyways, hope you enjoy! Thanks for reading!*********Complete

The Ashes Where We Touched
Cameron has always been "the little sister" in everyone's eyes especially to Chase, her brother's ridiculously good-looking best friend who practically grew up in their house. He used to tease her, ruffle her hair, and treat her like she was ten years old, even when she was seventeen. But years later, Cameron returns to her hometown for a fresh start after a rough breakup, and Chase Bennett isn't just her brother's friend anymore - he's now the co-owner of the town's most popular bar, confident, annoyingly protective, and way too good at remembering the little things about her. A temporary arrangement puts Cameron working at the bar to get back on her feet... meaning she's seeing Chase almost every day. There's tension in the way they trade barbs, an electricity when their hands brush while pouring drinks, and a look in his eyes that says he's noticing she's not so little anymore. The problem? Her brother is fiercely protective and is currently going through issues with his own work, meaning he's travelling more then usual - making Chase promise to "watch out for Cameron" while he's out of town. That promise doesn't exactly cover the nights they close the bar together, the quiet talks in the stockroom, or the slow, torturous moments where neither can seem to step away. When her brother returns earlier than planned and catches wind of something, Cameron and Chase have to face the fallout-and decide whether they're willing to risk the friendship that started it all for a love that might be worth every broken rule.
