I’ve been in love with writing and reading since I was a young girl. When I started writing as a hobby I tossed out many stories because I felt they weren’t good enough…yep, I am my toughest critic.

The Chaste Librarian

Cheryl Parker has come to accept her reserved nature. Her tight ponytail and glasses are not eye candy for the average man, but that’s fine by her. Therefore, she’s taken aback when Matthew Cooper, a hunk of a man, shamelessly propositions her for a no-strings, intimate relationship. What in the world does he see in her?—and more to the point—what can she possibly offer him when he can practically have any beautiful, experienced woman? But she’s tempted beyond reason, and without much thought, she’


Sweet Punishment

When Ella Fairburn goes sleepwalking she gets in a bit of trouble with her sexy new neighbor. 


Escort for a Week

Macy Piers is in debt again. Getting a second job isn’t going to cut it this time. Determined to pay off her credit card bills in one shot, she heads over to Velvet Nights, a nightclub that caters to Tieg clientele and holds date auctions. She signs herself up for auction, hoping that the cut she’d receive from the final bid would be enough to eliminate her debt. Being someone’s escort for a week would hurt her pride, but it would also serve as a lesson. While being prepped for the auction by the club’s owner, a big, rugged man walks into the room and the whole world stops. His hard-edged looks and the dark intensity of his eyes trap her while making her pulse race. Is he one of the bidders? Unsettled by her intense reaction to this stranger, Macy is relieved when she’s taken to the auction lounge, yet he’s already made an imprint in her mind.

With attraction sizzling between them, Jedd Madden is full of surprises, including the title Lieutenant attached to his name.

The Drakhom Taboo III

Ellen Sanders is comfortable with brief affairs that won't cause her pain. She'd love to have a passionate fling with Max, a gorgeous Drakhom, but when he tells her he's "looking for a permanent mate," he turns her world upside down.

Ellen Sanders adores Drakhom men, and their wild, wicked passion. When she's introduced to Drakhom Max Jensen, the attraction between them is like nothing she'd ever experienced. She eagerly takes on the task of decorating his new condo, hoping to have a hot fling with him. But he ruins it all by telling her he's looking for a wife, and she's vowed to never get married again. When he offers a relationship on her terms, she is more than tempted to accept, but could she walk away before getting too attached? The latter guaranteed heartache no matter what. Then again, not to experience passion with him would likely be just as painful.

The Greek Bachelor

Photographer Carlie Bowers will be staying on Zakynthos this summer to photograph luxury villas owned by her friend’s in-laws. She could definitely use a vacation too, but she doesn’t like the idea of being chaperoned around the island by Alex Marinos. She’d already met the handsome bachelor, and they’d parted on a sour note, thanks to his forward manner. Any woman would be drawn to his dark Greek looks and blatant virility, but she had no interest in becoming one of his mistresses. She was ready to find the right man and settle down, so Alex had better keep his hands to himself!

Alex Marinos is content with his carefree, bachelor lifestyle and ignores his family’s insistence that he settle down with a wife. When he has to play host to his sister-in-law’s best friend, he’s forced to be the perfect gentleman—and keep his hands off her. Something that goes against his nature where beautiful women are concerned.

The Greek Tycoon

Taking a summer job as a personal assistant on a beautiful, private island in the Aegean seems like a good choice for Brenna Linwood. The generous salary is a bonus and it will help her finance her brother’s education. She is taken aback by her strong attraction to her gorgeous new boss, Markos Christakis, and struggles to keep things professional. However, when she enters an agreement to be his make-believe girlfriend, she’s caught in a rather unorthodox situation.

Markos Christakis has no intention of marrying, so when his parents’ attempts to find him a bride turn serious, he’s got to find a way out. It doesn’t take him long to come up with a plan in the form of his lovely new assistant, Brenna. She would be the perfect deterrent if she portrays the loving girlfriend. To make sure she accepts the deal, he makes an offer she can’t refuse. What’s more, he’ll definitely enjoy the pleasure of her company. When he starts falling for her, however, he’s entangled in his own deception.

The Drakhom Taboo II

As far as Bianca Conti was concerned, she’d lost a significant design project for her company because of Devon Slane. Specifically, because of an unfortunate incident prior to their meeting that wasn’t even her fault. Bianca would like nothing more than to bring that arrogant man down a few notches and extract revenge.

Devon wanted spirited Bianca so much he declined her company’s bid, leaving her open to pursuit…to bend her to his will and teach her some of his Drakhom skills in bed.

The Drakhom Taboo

Drakhom were the offspring of humans and vampires. Typically beautiful and dark, they were known to possess strong sexual appetites, without the need for blood. Nonetheless, accounts of unusual sexual encounters with the species made Kate Randall wary of them. She had no desire to experience intimate activity that involved dangerously sharp teeth.

Kate is instantly attracted to her new client, Tanton Manning. No surprise there—he’s strikingly handsome and successful. But she suspects that he’s a Drakhom, which would be a good reason to stay away from him once her project is complete. Tanton, however, is determined to have this beautiful woman and wastes no time getting his message across. She plans to ignore his romantic attempts to lure her, but agrees to dinner, assuming it would be easy to tell him she didn’t mix business with pleasure.
