What can a reformed con man do when the woman who changed his life needs his help?
Eleanor Macklin has overcome her past and repaired the damage done by her first, and only, love. She has all she’s ever wanted, her family’s art gallery. If she’s not as spontaneous, or giving, or loving as she once was, well… that’s a life lesson she learned the hard way from a master of deceit. And trust is a thing of the past…
Rayder Cole has stumbled on a plot to forge stolen art that could ruin Ellie Macklin’s art gallery. He must get the forgery back before Ellie’s life is in ruins. He’s done enough damage to the only woman he’s ever loved, and now, he’s back to save what Ellie’s worked hard to build.
If Eleanor doesn’t take a chance on Rayder, she’ll lose everything. But trust lost is almost impossible to regain.
While the race is on to find the forger, Rayder’s appeal begins to work its magic again and Eleanor hates that she still finds him sexy.
Rayder’s determined to reclaim the woman who stole his heart before he even knew he had one…

Craving Jake - Return to Welcome Book 3
Returning to Welcome was easy…staying will be a challenge. Especially when someone is determined to drive her out.
Brianna Bowler has returned to her small town of Welcome to help run Bowler’s Dog Rescue. She’s also doing everything she can to set aside thoughts of her high school crush Jake Morrow. Jake appears to be with a perfectly perfect sprite of a woman. (Not that she minds how opposite she and the sprite are. Really, she doesn’t.)
Paramedic Jake Morrow has a woman in his house: she cooks, cleans, clings —and irritates the hell out of him. He’d felt sorry for her, injured, alone and broke, and offered to help. Big mistake.
What would really make Jake’s day? His ex-girlfriend finally moving out. But she won’t take his word for it that things are over.
What’s worse is Brianna Bowler has returned to Welcome. Their shared tragic past and attraction burns between them as Jake accepts that things aren’t quite right with his ex. A break-in at the dog rescue, smashed windows, and a stolen laptop all add up to serious trouble for Jake and Brianna.
But with his ex in the wind and escalating, Jake’s protective instincts rise as events take a deadly turn.
With the love of his life in danger, Jake comes to see that some women can’t be set aside, not even for their own good…but others want revenge.

Welcome to Perdition House: a house of sin, secrets and seduction where the spirits of dead hookers mess with the living...
Ghost stories are not always frightening. Sometimes they're cheeky, naughty and often erotic...
When Faye Grantham inherits Perdition House, her family's secret shame, she expects to sell the property for millions and marry her long time fiancé.
But the spirits who still reside in the mansion have other ideas. Trapped in the bordello, the women who lived and worked there wait to tell their stories to Faye.

Liam Watson wears comfort like most men wear cologne. With an interest in adventurous sex, he's more man than he first seems.

As the spirits reveal themselves one by one, Faye learns their stories: how they came to Perdition House, why they joined the women there and some of the secrets that only a high-class bordello could hold.
But can decades-old secrets affect Faye's life today?
