JoLynn Travis is living her dream hosting a regionally syndicated travel show covering attractions, big and small, throughout Texas. It's a small-time dream, but it's hers. And it's keeping her small crew--her surrogate family--together. At least until a charming new co-host comes on board with new ideas and, JoLynn suspects, plans to take her place.
After a life spent drifting, travel journalist Shane Quinlan needs to put down roots for the sake of his father's long term health care needs. Texas looks good to him, and an offer to co-host a small-time local show might give him the stability he needs for now. But the current host seems unwilling to share the spotlight or consider any fresh ideas, especially from an outsider.
The common ground they find gives way to deeper feelings. But when opportunity knocks, will Shane steal JoLynn's show, or will he steal her heart instead?

One night was all it took: Story one
Lacey Martin has built her life around the familiarity of the local bar she manages...a home for her. Independent, headstrong, and content, she keeps her heart tucked away, aside from a few one-night stands. She stays around her close-knit crew, a family of regulars and friends. Her normal routine, however, is shattered by one night that changes everything. When an old friend returns to town, Derek, with a group of friends, everything shifts dramatically in Lacey's world. Among his friends is Natalia, Derek's ex and a woman who will date men or women but finds herself drawn to Lacey. In one evening, both women are caught in an unexpected and powerful connection. This sparks an emotional and intense sensual escapade that forces Lacey to confront her feelings she didn't know existed. As the aftershocks of the intimate encounter ripple into the following days, Lacey finds herself torn between her known life and the magnetic allure of a new, uncharted love. The intense bond with Natalia challenges everything Lacey once believed about herself, including her stance on relationships and her guarded view on love, forcing her to check boxes she's never known. For Natalia, the collision of her past, connected to the fame, fortune, and work she's put in, it's time for her to confront future possibilities. As old wounds and unresolved histories stir within their friend groups, loyalties are tested, and the support network of the bar becomes both a sanctuary and a mirror reflecting the complexities of love, desire, and self-acceptance. "One Night Was All It Took" isn't just romance...it's an exploration of identity, the courage to defy preconceived limits, and that life can change in an instant. Witness the transformative power of one chance meeting that upends expectations and challenges the heart to live more fully and fearlessly. Every moment builds toward a future where love is less about definition, and instead of what we desire. And this is just book one. There are seven.Complete

To Keep You
Love is a treacherous snare. It lures you in with sweetness, intoxicates you, convinces you that surrender is safety. Like a mosquito drawn to blood, you crave it even as it drains you. Like honey to a bear, it promises comfort while hollowing you out. And when you're weakest, it strikes with venom sharp enough to kill. Love has tried to claim me too, fixing its gaze on me like a lone star against a midnight sky. But I've learned its patterns. I know its games. I will not be ensnared again. Love may feast on the naive, on the hopeful, on those who believe it cannot harm them. I am not one of them. I am an oleander, beautiful and deadly, guarding my heart with quiet precision. Come too close and you will taste the poison of my warning. I will protect myself, even if love calls it cruelty. ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ Second Book In 'To Love A Godly Man ' series. This book can not be read as a stead alone. You must read To Know You first. This story does contain some vulgar words because of how the characters are designed and how they impact the story.
