Fall in love with the Steeles on the sandy shores of Silver Island, home to coffee shops, boat races, and midnight rendezvous
Archer Steele is one of the leading vintners on the East Coast. He’s arrogant, aggressive, and has never been interested in settling down, which is what makes his hookups with his sister’s beautiful blond best friend, hair and makeup artist Indi Oliver, the perfect escape. But Indi’s toying with moving to the island, and when she ends their no-strings trysts to focus on her business, Archer isn’t ready to let her go…

Fall in love at Seaside, featuring a group of fun, sexy friends who gather each summer at their Cape Cod cottages. They’re funny, flawed, and will have you begging to enter their circle of friends.
Bella Abbascia has returned to Seaside Cottages in Wellfleet, Massachusetts, as she does every summer. Only this year, Bella has more on her mind than sunbathing and skinny-dipping with her girlfriends. She’s quit her job, put her house on the market, and sworn off relationships while she builds a new life in her favorite place on earth. That is, until good-time Bella’s prank takes a bad turn and a sinfully sexy police officer appears on the scene.
Single father and police officer Caden Grant left Boston with his fourteen-year-old son, Evan, after his partner was killed in the line of duty. He hopes to find a safer life in the small resort town of Wellfleet, and when he meets Bella during a night patrol shift, he realizes he’s found the one thing he’d never allowed himself to hope for—or even realized he was missing.
After fourteen years of focusing solely on his son, Caden cannot resist the intense attraction he feels toward beautiful Bella, and Bella’s powerless to fight the heat of their budding romance. But starting over proves more difficult than either of them imagined, and when Evan gets mixed up with the wrong kids, Caden’s loyalty is put to the test. Will he give up everything to protect his son—even Bella?

Have you met The Whiskeys: Dark Knights at Peaceful Harbor?
If you’re a fan of sexy, alpha heroes, babies, and strong family ties even to those who are not blood related, you’ll love Truman Gritt and the Whiskeys.
There’s nothing Truman Gritt won’t do to protect his family—including spending years in prison for a crime he didn’t commit. When he’s finally released, the life he knew is turned upside down by his mother’s overdose, and Truman steps in to raise the children she’s left behind. Truman’s hard, he’s secretive, and he’s trying to save a brother who’s even more broken than he is. He’s never needed help in his life, and when beautiful Gemma Wright tries to step in, he’s less than accepting. But Gemma has a way of slithering into people’s lives, and eventually she pierces through his ironclad heart. When Truman’s dark past collides with his future, his loyalties will be tested, and he’ll be faced with his toughest decision yet.

Acknowledgments
What a joy it was to write Amber and Dash’s story and to bring awareness to epilepsy. I am grateful to the many people who shared their experiences with epilepsy with me and answered my endless questions, including, but not limited to, Tonya Hubbard, Ashley Wilcox Taylor, Terren Hoeksema, Patricia Eberhart, and Kelley Ryan Gunther. As always, I have taken a few fictional liberties, and any errors are my own.
I am inspired on a daily basis by my fans and friends, many of whom are in my fan club on Facebook. If you haven’t yet joined my fan club, please do. We have a great time chatting about the Love in Bloom hunky heroes and sassy heroines. You never know when you’ll inspire a story or a character and end up in one of my books, as several fan club members have already discovered.
