THE DREAMER - Kayden's story
In this captivating spin-off of All That She Needs, Kayden's story unfolds, a tale of love, loss, and a second chance that could change everything. Haley was the love of his life-the girl who once saw him as her whole world. But eight years ago, everything fell apart, and Kayden had only himself to blame. Now, fate has given him another chance. Through letters and shared memories, he lays out the truth, hoping to reignite what was lost-and, most importantly, to earn her forgiveness. But Haley is torn. Drawn to Kayden in ways she can't explain, yet lost in the haunting gaps of her past, she struggles to make sense of the emotions pulling her toward him. Can she trust him? Can she trust herself? Or are some things better left forgotten? This story can be enjoyed as a standalone; however, for the best experience, I recommend reading All That She Needs first. Available now on Amazon Kindle and Kindle Unlimited.Complete

Thicker than Water
Eleven years after his life shattered in Chicago, Chris has rebuilt himself carefully in San Francisco: controlled, independent, untethered. He teaches ethics and law. He boxes too hard. He keeps people at a distance. And he has absolutely no interest in anything that looks remotely permanent. Then a work trip to Mexico drops Marisol into his life. Within days they're tangled in hotel sheets, trading insults in two languages, and making the kind of reckless decisions that are only supposed to exist far from home. The problem isn't that Chris wants her again the moment he gets home. The problem is he assumed she lived two thousand miles away-not twenty minutes across the city. What begins as something casual quickly becomes impossible to contain, forcing Chris to confront the very thing he's dedicated years to avoiding: the possibility of staying. And just when he and Marisol finally stop pretending they haven't built something real together, the past Chris buried long ago comes looking for him.Complete

A former Marine with scars too deep to count, he's spent his life running from the wreckage of his past.
