Peyton's Choice
Peyton had learned that choices could change little or change everything. But can Peyton make the choices that lead to love, family, and happiness? Excerpt: I'm still sitting there when I see the big guy walk past the house. He's running his eyes over it and stops mid-movement when he sees me. But before I can decide to go ask him if he's lost he starts walking again. Then I do stand as I see him head up the Drive to Uncle Simon's house. I hurry out and around the gate. It couldn't be. The huge guy who looked like he hadn't shaved in a month or two, couldn't be Seth. He knocked. Just as the door opened I called. "Seth?" The big guy turned and smiled at me. There in that face was his smile. I just stared as he was clasped in arms and pulled inside. I hurry up and inside with them. I saw one of Seth's brothers calling next door. In minutes the house was full of my family. "What did you do take the last month to walk here? You smell like it?" Was the first thing dad asked. A deep rolling voice came from Seth as he chuckled and then talked. "Yes. I've been cooped up in trucks and planes for nearly two months solid, I wanted out, and no people. But if I can get two seconds I'll go and shower." He was let go. I just stared after him. He might not have grown taller but he was as big as Uncle Simon now.Complete

Woke Up Married
She woke up married to a billionaire. Now she has to remember why. Peyton Adair is seventeen, stubborn, and still tasting salt air from the last thing she remembers, Cape Heron's bonfire, sand under her feet, a voice too close in the dark. Then she wakes up in a luxury penthouse with stitches on her forehead, bruised ribs that make breathing hurt, and a simple gold band on her left hand. Her husband is Jamison Kade. Nineteen, tabloid famous, billionaire heir. The kind of reckless rich boy the world loves to hate, and the kind her best friend Rain swears is nothing but trouble. Peyton doesn't remember meeting him. She doesn't remember the hospital. She doesn't remember signing anything, but the paperwork is real. And when Jamie finally tells her the truth, why she was in the ER, why her mother was kept in the dark, and who was behind the wheel the night her life split in two, Peyton realizes her missing memories aren't the only thing someone's been hiding. Because the more she pulls at the threads of that lost night, the more everything unravels: her father's secrets, Rain's messy relationship drama, the scandal machine surrounding the Kade family, and the unsettling way Jamie seems to know exactly what she needs... even when she doesn't know herself. Somewhere between Cape Heron's spotlight and Brentver's quiet, Peyton has to decide what's worse, truth she can't remember, or the feelings she never meant to catch.
