She came for solitude. She wasn't expecting him-or the danger that followed.
After a brutal betrayal just days before graduation, Wren retreats to a remote fire watch tower in Wyoming's Big Horn Mountains, hoping the silence of the forest will heal her broken heart. No friends. No distractions. No drama.
Then she meets Cole-the handsome, sharp-witted forest ranger who brings her weekly supplies. His crooked smile and quiet intensity stir something in her she thought she'd buried for good.
But just as sparks start to fly, chilling news breaks: three women murdered in a nearby cabin. A serial killer is on the loose in the mountains.
When strange things begin happening in the dead of night, Wren can't shake the feeling she's being watched. As passion ignites and trust is tested, she's forced to ask herself the question she never saw coming:
Is the man she's falling for the one she should fear most?

THE MONARCH KILLER
Detective Alex Reid is trained to read between the lines-but what happens when her life becomes one long, tangled lie? At work, she's hunting a sadistic killer whose victims are piling up fast-each body left in the rain, carved with symbols no one can decode. At home, chaos reigns: her 13-year-old daughter is pregnant, her teen son is spiraling into addiction, and her ex-husband is nothing more than a voicemail that never gets returned. She's holding a badge in one hand and her sanity in the other-barely. Then comes the man in the storm-dark-eyed, enigmatic, impossibly seductive. The kind of man who should come with a warning label... or a body count..There's an immediate pull, a desire so fierce it breaks her rules. He disappears before she can ask his name. And somehow, Alex keeps letting him back in. Into her house. Into her bed. Into the case? As the bodies stack higher and the storm outside grows more violent, so does the one inside her. She doesn't know who to trust-including herself. Why does the killer feel so close? Why do the clues keep pointing to the man she can't stop touching? And what happens when the line between hunter and prey disappears completely? Alex keeps digging. And sleeping with the suspect. She tells herself it's control, strategy. But how many more people have to die before she stops confusing pleasure for protection? Can she uncover the truth before her family collapses entirely? Or will her need-for escape, for touch, for him-drag her into a grave she didn't see coming? How many lies can she tell herself before one of them becomes her own obituary? Some storms kiss. Others kill. And some... do both.

LOOKING FOR A SWEET AND STEAMY BEAR SHIFTER ROMANCE WITH AN ALPHA WHO KNOWS WHAT HE WANTS? Three years on after a fatal car crash and Tamsin is still mourning the death of her brother. Tray was a fellow grim--one of the best--who'd left the family business to live in a handmade log cabin. But whoever heard of a grim living off the land like some lumberjack hippie? No one, that's who. As she struggles to come to grips with the life her brother chose over everything they'd built together, Cody--a nosy bear shifter and her brother's former best friend--won't stop poking his snout into her business. All this city girl wants to do is lick her wounds in peace, yet the infuriatingly sexy mountain man is convinced she's his fated mate. All because three years ago, they shared an epic sexathon up against a tree. Now nothing will shake the stubborn cowboy of his crazy notion, not even Tamsin's infamous snark. But, no matter how much her heart yearns to take a chance on love, that drunken tumble happened a lifetime ago... before the future was stolen right out from under her. How is Tamsin going to get it through Cody's thick alpha skull that a grizzly shifter and a grim girl--one with reckless death magic at her fingertips, no less--is a terrible idea?Complete

Free on Wattpad. ********** A GOOD MAN, FALLING APART Small town police officer Simon Labelle repressed his attraction to sexy shopgirl Leona Chaisty for years. He's good at controlling his feelings--or he used to be, before the bombing that he can't solve, that he should have prevented. Now, after a chance encounter with Leona at the lake, Simon can't get her out of his head. All those high school fantasies roar to life. A BAD GIRL, WISHING FOR MORE Leona is drawn to the intensity in Simon's pretty-boy blue eyes, but he's a good man, and she's not just hopelessly kinky--she'll never know how to love. Still, unlike everyone else, Simon acts like she might actually have a heart. The more time they spend together, the more she wishes he were right. A CHALLENGE NEITHER CAN RESIST After a second unsolved case pulls them together, their sexual chemistry rattles them both, and hints at an unsettling fetish that Simon struggles to suppress. Leona pushes Simon to decide what he wants--whether to dominate, submit, or some mix of both--while Simon, already falling for his dream girl, finally gets her to admit that she's lonely. Each challenges the other to reveal more, to cede control, to be vulnerable. But they're both more fragile than they appear. It's only a matter of time before one pushes too hard, and the other breaks. ********** Trigger warnings for depression, suicidal ideation, and possibly alcoholism. Significant child abuse (neglect only) is also part of a character's backstory. There is gender-bending, femdom, and a pretty scary control-based fetish. There is also off-screen violence and death, and mild on-screen violence.Complete
