She's a no-nonsense, by-the-book professional, dedicated to ensuring that every "i" is dotted and every "t" is crossed. With her life neatly organized, the next obvious step was a marriage that ended moments before the ceremony when the groom was nowhere to be found. With her tail between her legs, she travels back to her hometown and is soon reunited with someone from the past that she wasn't expecting.
Enter Damon Jake, a dedicated police officer who is as charming as he is handsome with a penchant for unpredictability. He thrives on the excitement of his job and is known for his heart of gold, always willing to go the extra mile to help others. However, his personal life has been on hold, as he's wary of letting anyone too close. He and Valerie shared a deep and lasting friendship years ago. Their bond was unbreakable until life took them on separate paths. But when fate intervenes and brings them back together, the sparks between them are as strong as ever. Their worlds collide in a serendipitous encounter when Jake intercepts a food delivery order intended for Emily. As he hands over the package of chicken tenders, their eyes meet, reigniting a spark long forgotten.
Before reading don't forget to grab yourself some chicken tenders. I recommend dipping them in a mango habanero ranch aioli.

The Choices I've Made (By the Bay #1)
Twelve years ago, he drove away with my heart in his hands. I've moved on since then. Or so I thought. Growing up in a small town, there weren't too many options when it came to friends. But, even in a sea of a million, I'd always choose Jake Jameson. I felt safe with him. Safe with my secrets, my dreams and eventually - my heart. I thought we'd have forever together. That was a long time ago. I thought I'd forgotten those piercing blue eyes and the sound of his laugh. I tried to obliterate the memory of his touch from my mind. But, one single glance, as he stands at my door, twelve years later, and I'm suddenly transported back to a simpler time when love was easy, and my heart was whole. The problem? I'm marrying his best friend.Concluída

Recipe for Love
Book 2 of the Chimera Trilogy He wasn't really looking for it but when love shows up he has to decide whether he'll accept it or not. New connections, old ties, and surprising revelations are ingredients for lasting love or for instructions to a charred heart. Ecerpt: Mike was tall like Alex, slim like him, had the same blue eyes and black hair. I could only conclude that my brain was looking elsewhere for an Alex substitute. That was not flattering to myself or fair to him. It was easier I guess to pick a fight then actually let myself like him. His eyes flipped to mine again. That eyebrow went up and he smirked. Now he was laughing at me. I straightened and turned to lean against the pole with my back to him. Maybe it was time to find a nice girl to date. The trouble was I hadn't been interested in anyone enough to want to go on a date, and I wasn't the kind to do one night stands. My eyes flipped to Alex. He was smiling and laughing at something Tyler was saying. I was happy for him but if I really let it be felt, I was jealous, a little that Tyler got him and I didn't, but I think it was more that they were together and happy and I had no one. I'd finally hit that age I wanted family and children. "Here." A plate appeared in front of me. I looked around and saw Mike holding it out. "What's this?" "That's commonly known as food. You eat it. I've noticed you favor the mushroom soup, stuffing with gravy and corn on the cob. Here you go." I took the plate. Why on earth had he not only noticed what I ate but brought me a plate of it.Concluída

"You ungrateful bitch. I keep a roof over your head, and this is the thanks I get?" "You could have killed her," I retort, trying to muster up confidence that I don't possess. "What if she goes to the cops, Dad? That bruise on her face is enough to get you arrested and charged with assault." "What? You mean when she tripped over the mess you made in the kitchen?" His smile is so wicked that it chills me to my core. "She ain't going to the cops. Hell, she'll probably be back here tomorrow." "You're a bastard," I whisper, tears filling my eyes.

So, shut it down so I can sleep because in 3 hours I have a business to run" I bark back using my finger to poke at his chest. "Damn, if you weren't crazy I'd try to fuck you," he laughed waving away my finger. His chest was so hard I could tell he worked out vigorously. People around us were staring. "As if I'd let you.
