Everyone in Malibu know the Goldsmiths, the owners of one of the most successful film studios in the world: Goldsmith Studios. However, no one knows the Goldsmiths quite as well as they're lifelong friends and next door neighbors; the Finch family. Edward and Evelyn Goldsmith's four children grew alongside Kevin and Sandra Finch's daughters, creating tight-knit bonds between them... Well, most of them.
Edward Jr., or Eddie Goldsmith, is the eldest child in his family and the next in line to be CEO of his family's company. He's serious, intelligent, and charming.
Kianna Finch is the eldest of her family, always responsible, and to Eddie's dismay, almost perfect.
The two have always been competing. Whether it be family game nights, volleyball on the beach, or academic validation, between the two of them, there always has to be a winner and a loser.
When Eddie and Kianna's families are chosen to host the Malibu Summer Charity Ball, the biggest event in Malibu for anyone rich and important, they nominate Eddie and Kianna, notorious enemies to organize the event.
Will their fight to best each other ruin everything, or will it spark something bigger, something secretive, and more unpredictable than the hate they share?
Find out in Pacific Tension.

Her secret
SEQUEL TO HIS SECRET (highly recommended to read his secret first possibly could be read as a standalone) It's been four years since Amira walked away from Brooks Whitmore-and the life that nearly swallowed her whole. Now twenty-eight, she's graduated from cosmetology school, raising her daughter, Alina, and building a future of her own. Stronger, sharper, and unwilling to be anyone's secret again, Amira swears her past is behind her. But when a man she's casually seeing drags her to a political event, Amira finds herself face-to-face with Brooks for the first time in years. Only now, he's married. Only now, he's on the verge of the Vice Presidency. And only now, the truth about Alina threatens to surface. Brooks has everything he was raised to want-power, status, Margot on his arm. But behind closed doors he's colder and haunted by the woman he let slip away. What happens when their worlds collide again? When secrets can't stay buried? This time, Amira isn't the girl he left behind. She's a woman with something to lose.Complet
Honeymoon Rivals
Tessa Sinclair always imagined her wedding day would be perfect-with a few manageable glitches. But nothing could have prepared her for walking in on her fiancé and her best friend minutes before saying "I do." Her world shatters in an instant. Her soulmate? A liar. Her lifelong best friend? A backstabber. And as if the universe wasn't cruel enough, Nathaniel Ford-her arch-nemesis since middle school-is standing right beside her, watching his own dreams crumble. Because Nathaniel was supposed to marry Lauren-the backstabbing best friend. Two weddings, two betrayals, and one giant catastrophe later, Tessa and Nathaniel are left humiliated at the altar while their exes ride off into the sunset together. But just when she thinks things can't get worse, she discovers the final punchline: The ultra-luxurious, all-expenses-paid honeymoon in Bali? Non-refundable. And guess who plans to use it? Brad and Lauren. Absolutely not. Determined to not let the cheaters win, Tessa and Nathaniel make a spiteful, impulsive decision-they're taking the honeymoon instead. Together. But sharing an overwater villa with her mortal enemy comes with complications. Between fighting over the master suite, petty sabotage, and a series of unfortunate (yet strangely romantic) mishaps, Tessa and Nathaniel soon find themselves in a different kind of trouble. Because somewhere between stolen cabanas and staged fake honeymoon photos meant to torment their exes... the hate starts feeling a little too much like something else. Enemies. Betrayed lovers. Unwilling honeymooners. Will their romantic getaway end in disaster-or in something neither of them ever saw coming?
