In a quiet town pulsing with secrets and second chances, Life and Emery follows the journey of Emery-a woman haunted by loss, fiercely independent, and unexpectedly pregnant-as she stumbles into a life that feels both foreign and strangely meant to be. Offered refuge behind the bustling warmth of a local bar, she carves out a modest sanctuary in a converted storage room, determined to rebuild her world piece by piece.
But rebuilding isn't simple. Especially when Jamie-stoic, loyal, and frustratingly magnetic-keeps showing up, offering far more than safety. As their relationship deepens and emotional walls begin to crumble, Emery must confront the ghosts of her past, the tenderness of chosen family, and the terrifying beauty of becoming a mother.
Woven through painterly scenes of domestic intimacy, fragile vulnerability, and quiet joy, this story is a love letter to found family, the ache of beginning again, and the fierce softness that comes with finally letting someone in.

Falling For A Cowboy (NOW ON GALATEA)
Second Chance Romance Love-at-first sight--faster-paced love affair Single father Surprise baby HEA standalone Five years ago, my life changed when my wife left my two-year-old son and me in the middle of the night-breaking my heart. After that, I vowed to friends and family that I'd never fall in love again and would only focus on raising my autistic son and working on my farm and horse ranch. That was until a beautiful blonde-haired, green-eyed beauty moved to my town--changing my life forever. Being stubborn, I did everything I could not to let my ticker control me and my thinking process--avoiding eye contact with Josie, conversations, and what my ticker, mind, and soul was telling me... But then I saw Josie daily at the diner she worked at and became jealous whenever Jack, the town's annoying wanna-be cowboy, tried striking a relationship up with her. I always felt my wife, Hailey, would return to Maverick and me, and we'd be a family again. But the more time I focused on the new girl in town, the more I wanted Hailey out of my life, and the more I wanted Josie in mine. Then, one night, my life forever changed when I allowed a door to open and gave Josie something I said I'd never give--my ticker. Credit for cover: selfpubbookcovers.com/AKcoverdesignConcluída
BROKEN VOWS (Lucas & Emilia Book 1)
Choosing her cost me everything I'd ever loved... including her. It's why I left the small town where I grew up and vowed never to return. I'm no longer the "golden boy with a bright future" they all remember. Instead, I carry the scars of a tortured past. A broken man deemed unfit, even by the Navy SEALs he'd dedicated the past decade to serve. What was supposed to be a quick trip to sell my parents' property turned into this twisted journey that forced me to confront my demons. And then there she was. My first love, and deepest regret. The woman who still owns every piece of my blackened heart. When she asked for my time, I couldn't refuse. Now I can't walk away. Not after hearing of the danger her husband, a missing FBI agent, has brought to her doorstep. After everything, I owe her my help. It's why I offer to protect her and her two little girls from the danger circling them. It's a vow I never should have made, given the trail of bodies I've left in my wake. Like the harbinger of death, I'm the last man either of us should trust. In the Broken Redemption Series, one man's vow to protect the woman he lost becomes a battle between redemption, forgiveness, and the kind of love that refuses to let go. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lucas & Emilia's story begins here: Book 1 of their Broken Redemption arc. Each couple's love story in the Broken Redemption Series is told over multiple books and forms a complete arc within this collection of connected romances set in the small town of Ruby Creek. There's no required reading order, but if you'd like to start at the very beginning, you're right where you belong. Lucas & Emilia are the first couple, followed by James & Annelly, whose story begins with Broken Misery (Broken Redemption Series - Book 1 of their arc).Concluída

Fire Burning
♡~The depth of love can be the depth of sorrow~♡ Some fires never die. They just move from house to heart. Emery's father was a hero once-a firefighter with a heart full of courage. But that was before the drinking. Before the bruises. Before her mother's body was found in a bathtub, wearing white like she was ready to meet God. Now sixteen, Emery is sent to live with her godmother-her mother's final wish and her father's only chance at inheriting anything. But grief doesn't disappear with distance, and trauma doesn't wait to be healed. Thrown into a new house full of unfamiliar faces, Emery doesn't expect to find peace. She doesn't expect kindness. And she definitely doesn't expect him-her godmother's quiet, brooding son who sees past the walls she's built. The one who finds her when she's breaking. The one who stays. As secrets rise from the ashes and pain threatens to consume them both, Emery must decide if love can truly survive the burn-or if some fires are meant to destroy everything in their path.Concluída

This is a finished, full length (80k words), slow burn romance about learning to trust, falling in love and healing after life has beaten you down. !Trigger warning: This story deals with child neglect, child abuse, domestic violence and rape. I wasn't overly descriptive about these situations, but they are still a big part of the story. !Explicit sexual scene. Disclaimer: This is a work of fiction.

Packless
In the close-knit town of Wetherby Hollow, being packless is a red flag. Omegas without protection, Alphas without structure-it's not how things are done around here. But Micah Thorn, a stubborn Omega in his mid-20s, has no choice. After their parents died in a car accident five years ago, Micah stepped in to raise their three younger siblings-two of whom haven't presented yet. Since then, they've been working two jobs, dodging social services, and trying to stay off the town council's radar. When a newly presented Alpha teenager-Jesse Hale-is dropped off like unwanted baggage by his wealthy, neglectful parents, Micah is roped into fostering him "temporarily." Jesse is quiet, damaged, and angry- but not dangerous. Just lost. Then his older brother shows up. WARNINGS Mpreg, MXM love, very graphic gay sex, Childbirth via the anus (Also very graphic), Sex scenes, self harm(Not much), mentions of grape, PTSD, Hallucinations, bad language, discrimination, threat, major character death (Only like two characters, it's fine). I'll put warnings in the chapters where these occur, so if you can skip- although you might be a little lost because these tie into the plot. My characters views or actions do not reflect my own, this is purely fiction that does reflect real life situations (Except for the mpreg, unfortunately)so i try to be mindful and respectful. I also just write about these things because I find it interesting. That is it and that is all. Enjoy #1 in #smalltown
