When Oliver Sinclair walked into the restaurant where Genny worked, all she saw was a tall, dark, and charming man who swept her off her feet. One whirlwind romance and Vegas wedding later, Genny realizes she might have gotten in over her head. While she knew her new husband wasn't hurting for money, she hadn't quite realized the extent of his family fortune, or the obligations that came with it. Genny is determined to make the best of things, however, and throws herself into fitting into Oliver's world.
Three years ago, Oliver Sinclair lost the love of his life. Blaming his father for driving her away, Oliver vows to get revenge by marrying the most unsuitable woman he can find and presenting her to his father as a fait de accompli. He never expected to like his new bride so much, however. Or for her to drive him mad with desire.
But secrets don't stay buried forever. When the woman he thought he loved walks back into his life, Oliver is going to have to make a choice. And when he makes the wrong one, Oliver is going to discover that the sweet, eager to please woman he married has another side to her. Genny isn't just going to be content with leaving Oliver. Oliver now has to contend with a woman who is out for revenge.

Hurricane Season
She came home early. She shouldn't have. Noa Reevse is a therapist. She spends her days sitting across from people in the worst moments of their lives, holding their pain with both hands, and sending them home better. She is very good at it. She is also, it turns out, very good at not looking too closely at her own. Until the afternoon, she opens a door she was never supposed to open. Fifteen seconds. That's all she records. That's all she needs. And then, a week later, she puts on a burgundy dress, walks into her husband's televised political forum, and raises her hand. She has the video. She never has to play it. His silence does the work for her. "Hurricane Season" is about what happens after the worst imaginable betrayal, after the divorce papers are filed, after the woman who taught everyone else how to survive the unsurvivable has to figure out how to do it herself. For readers who need their protagonist to be the storm.

The Golden Hour
US: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0HB6871H2 UK: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0HB6871H2 In emergency medicine, the golden hour is the crucial sixty-minute window after a traumatic injury-the brief span of time when the right care can mean the difference between life and death. Dr. Mason Carpenter lives for that hour. At St. Mary's Trauma Center, he is the golden boy of the Emergency Department. He's brilliant and calm under pressure. He's also addicted to the adrenaline, the thrill, and the absolute rush of saving patients knocking on death's door. At home, he's a devoted husband to his high school sweetheart-the love of his life-Honey. Or, he used to be. Honey Carpenter has loved Mason since they were fourteen, when he was the gangly boy with hearts in his eyes who stumbled through asking her out for ice cream. She stood beside him through medical school, residency, crushing debt, sleepless nights, and every sacrifice it took to build the life they dreamed about. Now Honey is pregnant with their first child. And Mason is married to his work. He misses ultrasound appointments, pregnancy milestones, and the baby shower. Worst of all, he is never there to support Honey through an increasingly difficult pregnancy. No matter how many times she tells him she is lonely, exhausted, and afraid, Mason gives her the same answer. "They need me." But Honey needs him too. As her pregnancy progresses and she feels something is deeply wrong, her doctor dismisses her symptoms as first-time-mom jitters. Her husband is too busy saving strangers to see his own wife fading away. Until Honey collapses at home and is rushed into Mason's emergency room, fighting for both her life and their daughter's. Mason must reckon with what he was chasing, what he ignored, and what his absence may cost him-the woman he loves more than anything. Now, the golden hour belongs to Honey. And Mason may already be too late.Completa
