The Harris Brothers Series
A family desperate for the top. A dangerous game of cat & mouse. And a surprise relationship that proves both deadly, and a miracle, all at the same time.
Caleb Harris is the most eligible bachelor according to most media, and I can see that that’s gone to his head. The shocking part is that he’s evidently coming after me. We’re rival billionaires; him in bed with every woman in North Carolina, and in Scotland, and so far up his father’s ass he can’t see the light. Well, I’ll show him. I see that his spies are paid well, since he found me in the armpit dive that my newly divorced best friend chose for her reverse engagement party. Just look at his smug smile and his ‘so sure of myself’ glance. As I approach him, he paints on a mug, trying to mask the fact that he’s half corked. But I’m not showing him mercy. After a brief encounter, he tells me his da’s plan, and I laugh in his face. In a million years, that’s never gonna happen. But in a few months' time, it does, and my whole world is turned upside down. We gain some, we lose some, but in the end, his da gets what he wants...no matter the cost.
***
Laney McAdams is audacious and beautiful, and smart as hell, but I can’t think of a bigger wench, and I know a lot of them. The lass is wholeheartedly cold and selfish, it’s no wonder she isn’t anyone’s favorite. I’ve been sent on a mission, despite the trouble I'm in, despite the huge risk I'm taking, I have to set that all aside for da. As I sit in the bar, waiting to deliver shocking news to a new client, sure as the nose on my face, Laney sits at the back of the bar, just waiting to eat me for breakfast. I try to put on the charm, I try to be civil with her, as I wait for Chas Ford to learn his fate, but this woman was born to do one thing: profit. And the worst part is, so was I. It’s no wonder we clash from the start. But as she walks away from me, looking back at me, I see something in her eyes. I’ll realize soon that it’s the future. But not a future that I would have envisioned. One where my life sits on the balance, lives are lost, saved and miracles are made. All while somebody wants to see us fry… and I find myself risking everything all over again…for something more important than ever. But for once it’s not for money.

A child taken. A woman that got away. And a man so afraid of his own future that he ruins it before it starts…until his past saves him.
As I get ready to celebrate my birthday with friends, I try to keep Ethan at arm’s length, not letting him know that it’s my special day. Trudy, my bestie, thinks that I’m an idiot for not telling him, but then that would be two lies that I’ve been keeping from him. I made a mistake and if he finds out, he won’t ever forgive me. At first, I didn’t tell him, because I wasn’t vested in the relationship. He’s never introduced me to his family or his friends, like I’m some precious stone that he wants all to himself, but when he tells me he loves me, I get a look from Trudy that I can no longer ignore. And when I tell him, I soon learn that it’s the worst mistake I could have ever made...or the best?
***
Sure, Freya is successful, in a manner of speaking. But to my da, she’ll just be another lass, and I don’t want to be that low on the family totem pole. It’s lonely being down here, as much as I care for her. And it’s not like I don’t want to show her off. She’s beautiful, smart, hard-working, and so entrepreneurial, she could be another billionaire one day, but I don’t want to see that look of disappointment on either my da’s or Freya’s face. My feelings for her I’ve kept hidden, until I find out it’s her birthday, and learn that she kept it a secret. Once I tell her I love her, a strange look crosses her face, and then she hits me with something that I never could have imagined.
...and I run.
…But I soon learn that I can’t hide for long. And when her name pops up a year later, the tables are turned, hearts are broken, things precious to us are taken, and a tailspin of lies turn into dark reality
...until someone sees the barrel of a gun in their face.

A powerful, twisted man. An important beginning gone wrong. And a love so unexpected and true, but so dangerous. And then a manila envelope arrives that could end it all...with one signature.
Yes, it was stupid. But it’s not like it isn’t something every girl in the world has done at least once before. I can hear my mother’s judgemental voice inside my head saying, ‘well, you’re not every other girl in the world’, and I roll my eyes, trying not to look at the white paper bag that’s sitting on my passenger seat. As much as I try to forget about it, and move on, it’s like it keeps creeping up on me, until it creeps right up my throat, and I find myself kissing porcelain while I’m on a date with Maverick Harris, one that I never agreed to in the first place. It takes him longer than I guessed to figure it out. But, shocking me, he doesn’t run. And I can’t figure out why, until it’s too late.
***
She’s nothing to me. A bright, pretty girl, a dime a dozen, in fact. But the words come out of my mouth before I can stop them, and the next thing I know I’m sitting across from her, having lunch. Trudy tries to keep something from me, but it’s difficult to, when she’s got more eyes on her than I do. And what’s more, she doesn’t know it. But it’s not pity that draws me to her. Trudy isn’t delicate, and she refuses help, even when the most terrifying thing drops in her lap. The day the envelope arrives is when she caves, and that’s when my family steps in. The scumwad hasn’t got a prayer coming after her. And God help him if I get there first. But that’s all before the golden nugget fails, and the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow is no longer there. That’s when we think he’s got nothing more on her...but he does.
...and a gunshot finally tells the real tale.

A billionaire. A woman in hiding. An unexpected love so strong it shocks them both. And a man whose life-or-death lie can ruin it all.
I’m treating a patient, when suddenly the room gets more crowded, and with the most beautiful man on earth to boot. Declan Harris stumbles into the treatment room, looking for his brother, the boyfriend of said patient, and it’s like the moment he sees me, he forgets what his mission was. The smile on my face quickly gets wiped off with the knowledge that I’m not for him. I’m not for anyone. The less people know of me the better. That’s the reason I fled Scotland for North Carolina. That’s the reason I don’t keep in touch. And that’s the reason why no matter what spark I feel with any man, I can’t act on it. Despite all that, not a day later, my best friend Steph stiffs me for our lunch date, but suspiciously, guess who shows up at the restaurant....
***
It’s clear that my cousin Malcolm and my brother Maverick have something up their sleeve. After I get a text from Maverick that he needs to vent and to meet at our usual place, only to find a familiar face there instead, it gets my hackles up. Moira McTavish is the most beautiful woman in the world, but I can’t have her. For starters, she doesn’t want to be had. Also, I’ve been had before, and I know where that leads. My heart can’t take that again. So, I try to play the friend card, but just one touch from this goddess sets my skin sizzling. That’s when she finds out that I know the truth. That’s when a mysterious package shows up at her office. That’s when her past catches up to her. That’s when I have to look her in the eye, knowing that the one person everyone deserves to trust, is nothing but a toxic, compulsive liar...and a killer.

Two billionaire tycoons. One murder. An arranged relationship gone wrong. And a bribe meant to fix a mistake...but it turns into the most powerful love in the family’s history.
On the outside, it looks like Malcolm takes me for a fool, but I know better. Being an engineer, you learn how things tick, including people. And while he tries to convince himself that he doesn’t like me, there are...things that tell me otherwise. Sure, he’s as sexy as hell, and he doesn’t even know it. And that’s half the problem. The other problem is that I like him, too. But when tragedy strikes and Malcolm is muscled into something, the last thing either of us needs is each other. And then his past life comes back to haunt him. Luckily, I have a few tricks up my sleeve to get him off the hook...
***
One Word: crazy. Steph is nuts. One minute she’s got eyes for me, the next those eyes are daggers. Then she finds out something about me, and try as she might, she can’t stay away. Curiosity killed the cat, as they say, and that’s nearly what happened. If it wasn’t for my Uncle Dougall wanting things for me that I don’t want, the answer would be much easier. But when Steph learns about the cruel arrangement, she finds a way to help me. All this while a killer looms in the family. All this while one of the most powerful storms in history hits our state. All this while Steph makes more sacrifices that risk everything. And then she does something that answers everything...an eye for an eye...

Christmas with the Ford Brothers Series
A fake name. A sudden fake life. A very real love. And an unmistakable miracle just in time for Christmas.
I grab a beat on the drums for Wade, while we get ready to play at the best armpit dive in town called Mingles. It’s where the Christmas beer runs green and the garland hanging over my drum kit is fastened with last year’s tape. It’s also where a new girl has started working, and from behind the glasses and bottles, she’s not your average bar maid. No flirtation in the eyes, no attitude, no intimidation. Wade suggests steering clear of this girl named Stella, but something about her is like a goddamn magnet to me. Strange, when I call her name, she doesn’t respond. When I secretly find out why, the answer would make most run…but, stupidly, I do the opposite.
It's just Bean and I, in this new town, and in the worst part of it, too. After just a couple of nights at the house, and after meeting a few new friends at the bar, I’m abruptly moved…by Cooper, a man I hardly know. He’s a man I’d love to share all my secrets with, but he’s the only person who accepts that I can’t. In the past, trusting has led to nothing good. The same nothing good that’s left me in this predicament. The same nothing good that sits behind bars, and not the kind you drink at, either. It’s also the same nothing good that gave me the one gift I’d never take back, aside from all the rest. Which is why the early Christmas gift that I receive is so conflicting. But do I get to enjoy my Christmas miracle, or will it all be taken away by nothing good again?

A family man. A complicated family. A woman needing an out. A business proposition gone south. And an early holiday miracle that saves more than just Christmas…it saves a life…or two…or five.
She’s leaving. The only nanny that’s made any sort of impact on my family is walking straight out the door. I should be used to it. But something inside me stops her. Including the lump in my throat. It turns out that India has a heart. Which is more than I can say for most. We’ve seen more than our share of heartache, the kids and I, and this woman has accomplished what none have to date. But the real miracle will come in days, when my twin boys celebrate a birthday, Christmas-style, and an innocent twist of fate turns deadly. Can this family survive yet another tragedy? Or will we finally get a Christmas miracle?
***
Sure, moonlighting can go either way. I can kill myself to gain back what I lost from my last failed relationship, or I can sink to the depths of financial crisis like all the rest of us during Christmas. But I love what I do and helping this family turns out to be something worth far more than my hourly wage. Luke pays me an insane amount of money to look after his house and his children, but I’m learning that it’s Luke that also needs something. No, not that! Well, maybe…but I can’t deny that he’s the most caring, hard working, honest man I’ve ever met. And his eyes say it all. This man has hurt more than most, just like me, and as I pray that I can perform a Christmas miracle, just days before the big day, it soon becomes clear what I was put on this earth for. I’m just not sure if I’m on Santa’s Naughty or Nice list, and this time, it matters.

He's sworn off women for the wrong reasons. She doesn’t know that she’s the right reason. As tinsel hangs from Christmas trees, Chad figures it out…but will it be before he hears his star patient flatline?
No, don’t even talk to me about it. I’m a heart surgeon, not some fly-by-night playboy that sleeps with every chick that I meet. In fact, I don’t even date, not that my schedule suggests it, anyway. Especially when I’m playing double-time, dressing up as Santa Claus for the hospital, and for the Ford brothers. But when Ginger comes into the picture, showing up seemingly to meet with her nurse friend, India, there are moments when I wish that she was more than just a coworker’s pal. When she witnesses me at a weak moment, she sees something in me that nobody else has seen before. And then I learn something about her that both freaks me out and makes me wonder why God hasn’t brought her to me sooner…and I don’t know how to deal with it.
***
I fly to Sweden with him, even though India tells me I’m crazy. But it’s for business, as I keep telling myself. It’s always been about business with me, and, evidently, with Chad, too. Until we do something akin to a movie scene about the mile high club, and all bets are off. Chad doesn’t want me any more than I want him. We both have our careers to think about, and he has the added bonus of trying to save lives. But something has crossed over in both of us, and there’s no turning back. Except when someone’s heart is at stake…and this time Chad doesn’t know how to fix it…because it’s not something that can be fixed with surgery, since it’s a matter of the heart…and it’s his own heart, too.

A broken promise. An ill child. A heartbreaking betrayal. And a Christmas miracle that could save a life and a long-lost love…or risk them both.
The day that Shane came back into my life was the day that the sky flew open. His cocky attitude and overinflated ego haven’t changed since high school. Painfully, he’s also still as sexy as he was back then. The problem is, he has no idea the effect that he’s having on me. He’s the perfect distraction from what’s going on. Until he accidentally meets what’s going on behind the scenes. And then he inadvertently learns my secret. I never wanted him to find out that my life isn’t all sunshine and roses. It’s easier letting him think that. But when my life stands before him, right before Christmas, singing carols beautifully, there’s no denying his care and concern, as much as he tries to. And then he tries too much...and it all falls apart.
***
I have no interest in Amy beyond work, and that’s only because we’re forced to do projects together. It’s not like I can tell anyone what really happened. And with all this holiday merriment going on, it’s tough to keep a stiff upper lip. Amy and I were supposed to be together forever, until she broke my heart, but I got over it. That’s what I’ve been telling myself. Until I see my own eyes one day in a donut shop, and my whole life flashes before me. With two forces of nature working against me, I try my best to do what’s right, but I never know if I’ve chosen wrong, until it’s too late. And as I stare at the mistletoe wrapped above the hospital bed, I’m still unsure, until I hear a voice...and it isn’t Santa Claus...

And as I stare at the mistletoe wrapped above the hospital bed, I’m still unsure, until I hear a voice...and it isn’t Santa Claus...
A bad boy. A blast from the past. A very un-festive mistake. And a love so unexpected yet so strong, it makes Christmas Day look like a regular Sunday...right before someone goes off the cliff...
Alright, it's a hot mess. I admit it. And right before Christmas, too. But I can't take any of it back. I mean, is it possible to have a midlife crisis in your thirties? But, despite all the errors in my judgment, Emmett's gaze still comes my way. Something in his eyes tells me that he isn't perfect, either. What I soon discover is that it was not he himself that made the mistakes, rather, he was the victim of someone else's errors in judgment. The question is, can he look beyond mine?
***
It doesn't seem to matter how many times I tell myself that in my life, there is no room for relationships. Not one with a woman, anyway. The realization, for me, came at a painful price. That being said, I can't seem to tear myself away from the one woman that I should stay miles away from. Krissie has herself in some very hot water. And while that should be like kryptonite to me, it seems to have more of a magnetizing effect. I can't force her to choose. I've made my case quite clear. But when I witness a damning statement from someone that could change her life forever, I have to decide quickly if I'm going to be the one to tell her. And how can I do it, right before Christmas? Will it break her heart, or bring her closer to me? And just when I think that the answer is right in front of my face, it all comes crashing down... Crashing down a cliff, that is.

Big Bands, Big Hearts Series
She’s a hot mess. Success lives in his back pocket. The stage calls to them, until a twisted fan tries to seal their fate…using nine words.
Five days ago, I couldn’t stand Jett. He’s a world-renowned guitarist in a hit band, and I’m a washed-up sex symbol vocalist in a band that’s seen its glory. Five days ago, something changed. I was given an ultimatum that I’m not sure I can live up to. The world of rock and roll is a cruel place. It’s a world where I can only be sure of one thing, and that one thing is what is ruining me. Jett sees right through me. And as much as I hate him, he keeps coming around. Until he disappears back to the stage. But does he really leave me?
I find Roxy in the back room, kicking my most prized amp. Sure, it’s held together with duct tape, but it plays better than anything else. She sneers and pokes at me, until she realizes that I have the one thing that she’s lost. I’d help her get it back if she’d lose the chip on her shoulder. Then I find out what’s eating her, and I see her in a different light. There’s more to Roxy than meets the eye. Her bandmates see it. That’s why they stick around. But will the world see it…and more important, will they see it before it’s too late?

She dots her ‘I’s wearing Prada. He squeals to fans shirtless. When a deadly meeting changes everything, will she heed the threat, or take the plunge?
Everyone calls him Slick, but I was raised in a home where everything was proper. Sean and I meet in an odd place, under dire circumstances, so nobody would ever expect what happened…to happen…but it did. A rock star and a psychologist seem like an impossible match. And it is. That’s why I have to leave, before everything is ruined. I can’t be with him for so many reasons, as much as every cell in my body says that it’s right. Evidently, he agrees that we should be together, since he leaves breadcrumbs for me…but will they lead me back to him?
She can’t even say my name. With a name like Slick, one expects some surfer-type, with nothing between his ears and a stake where his heart should be. Listen to my music and you’ll see. I’m somewhere between not much and kinda something, you know? But Doc, she’s…something else. The way she handled things on the roof that night…If it weren’t for one thing, she’d be mine. That one night. I should have done it differently. Then she’d still be here. But I can’t take it back…or…can I?
…and just when we think we’re past danger, just when I think that the band has it all, and that I’ve got Doc, too, an unexpected person walks in, and I know that we’re back to square one again.

An unforgettable bassist. A first love abandoned. A forced move to a foreign land. And a sinister fan that exposes a toxic secret…at the worst time.
Lizzee has the most beautiful smile. She’s the new girl in school, standing at the front of the auditorium, with a strange guy’s arm around her. As I play bass on stage, her eyes are on me. Days later, we’re working together, and she tells me how talented she thinks I am. Her knowledge of music is unfounded for a military brat, and I soon find out why. We spend an unforgettable few weeks together, and then she’s gone, without a trace. Thirteen years later, she resurfaces, with a new name, and I have no idea what happened to her…or how she found me. And it’s not until I watch her cling to life that I find out the truth.
***
Blaze is going places. He just doesn’t know it yet. But I do. With a father that I barely know and a mother that means everything to me, it’s a difficult balance. Being a vagabond means not making any ties, but once a tragedy almost touches down in my family, I’m forced to make one…but from a million miles away. It’s the reason I go back after thirteen years. It’s what I’ve always wanted but denied myself, until it happens by accident. But when I find him, he's not the same person, nor am I.
…one common thread holds us together. And I don’t know if it’s enough… until it’s almost too late, that is.

He sings behind powdered courage. She’s got his greatest hits album in her backseat. And just when they think the grass is greener together…it turns blood red.
Storm is the sexiest man alive. He just doesn’t know it. What he also doesn’t know is that I’m his biggest fan. Until he shows up at a mutual friend’s place of business one day, and there’s no denying it. But behind those musical lips is a man standing on a ledge, and I’m not sure who or what can talk him down off it. But I’m not about to abandon him. At least, not by choice…

The second she walks into Ray’s office, I’m done. Dez is the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen, hands down. But I can’t tell her why I’m here, at a psychiatrist’s office, so, instead I tell a lie that I’ll later regret. And just when I think that I’ve led her on, she shows me in a way that I never dreamed, that she already knows. We fall fast and hard for each other, despite my secret, despite how bad things get at a time when they should be getting better.
And then it happens one night. The other shoe falls during a show, but the world is shocked to learn who sets our course on a different path…and who will be the one clinging to life.

The twisted groupie. The secret message on a drumstick. The conversation overheard a day late…and the shot from behind the altar.
The first time I saw him in a rock magazine I thought I would die. Those eyes, the hair, the way he pounds the drums so artfully, and his face on the camera, is unforgettable. He was my first crush. Meeting him has always been a distant pipe dream, until the day I’m told I’m the winning caller on a radio station. When our eyes meet something clicks and I know it’s not my imagination. But his girlfriend’s psychotic gaze sets me off, and then I overhear a conversation not meant for my ears...that puts someone’s life at stake.
***
We’re backstage for meet and greets before a show, when this girl, Liv, comes to meet us. She’s got arms that rival mine, and I'm a drummer. But she wears them well. The girl is tough and smart, and there’s something about her that is different. Her eyes and ears, and her heart, pick up on things that I'm blind to. Then she gives me a strange gift that changes my life forever. Her presence shifts certain things on the tour, and I’m not sure who I can trust anymore. Odd things are happening that can’t be explained, and then, at a moment when we’re all vulnerable...it all makes sense...but then again, does it?

An explosive guitarist. A fiery temper. A flame that threatens to die with each meeting…and one slip of the tongue that changes everything.
I get a call late one night about some band that got ripped off. When I get there in uniform, it’s like showing up to class without pants on. My sneers set them back a notch. I’m no groupie. But this one guitarist in glasses, Spex, isn’t afraid of me, so I bite back harder. Later that night, another call arrives, this time it hits home hard. What Spex shows me makes me look twice at him. And it’s a long, hard look. More than that, it’s a look that makes everything else completely different forever. And I don’t think I’m ready for that.

We’re being treated like the dirtbags here, but I get the feeling that this Claudia chick uses a broad stroke with people. Doesn’t matter if you’re the guitarist in one of the most popular bands ever. She has a silver tongue but I’ve got ironclad chops. When I follow her to the airport, and back home, having received a mutual call, I realize that her act is just that. My glasses come off and my perspective changes, when I see something in Claudia that I never want to see in myself. My gift to her makes her look twice at me.
…but when the flatline sounds in the Emergency Room, all bets are off.

A power couple. A riches to rags guitar god. And a crushing reunion that may break or remake…but only if the cards are dealt right.
An unexpected pair of tickets and backstage passes land me in the front row, watching the sexiest guy named Lyxx, play like he was born with a guitar in his hand. With my Hollywood starlet reputation, this is not what I expected, as a quick visit to his room turns into nothing more than a diversion. After leaving him with a secret message, he still does not respond, and despite my best friend’s warning, I don’t relent. But I soon learn the reason. And it’s nothing that late night promises, a ring on my finger, or a place in his heart can fix.
***
It’s too late. By the time her ill-equipped bodyguards, faithless so-called best friend, and her uncaring, big-mouthed agent feed her to the lions, she’s already alone, in a room, with a man that looks at her like she’s his next meal. Sure, he’s my bandmate, but Julia is a classy, Hollywood actress, with more morals and reputation than my whole band could muster in a lifetime. And we’re…not. Yet she watches me as I ride the waves of stardom with her, only she seems to flourish, while I fall flat on my face. The proof is all over the papers that I don’t deserve her. And then an unfortunate photo, followed by a subsequent video, capturing all the reasons, is seen by millions.
Ironically, the show goes on, but with one less participant. I’m just not sure if the rest can wait, or if it really is too late. How many can make it to rock bottom, and live to tell the tale? I’ll wait…

A Rock Star Romance Series
The tormented guitarist. The fearless security guard. The kiss that’s seen globally. The razor blade that threatens to end everything.
Billy Nestor has everything he’s always wanted: a band, the best guitar skills, a creative edge like no other, a thick skin, and the chops to climb the charts. The one thing he’s missing is a supportive father. While his mom is his biggest fan, his father has chided him since the day he picked up an instrument, slating that the boy would never amount to anything unless he applied himself to something other than heavy metal.
Michelle Parsons has seen the world through the eyes of the battlefield. She’s determined, tough as nails, and has enough brains and drive to get her anywhere she wants to go in the world. Until she gets shot in combat and has to take a backseat job as a security guard for a nothing band, and what’s worse, she gets the job after her dad calls on a friend for a favor. Despite the disappointment, she quickly learns that protecting a band is almost as exhilarating as dodging landmines behind enemy lines.
In the band’s third month of touring as an opening act, the city that they play in is riddled with an unexpected, potentially life-threatening situation. Michelle has to put her life on the line once again, only this time, without her hard hat and camouflage. After getting the band on the stage safely, a certain band member seeks her out once the applause quiets, and a fast friendship evolves. Billy finds himself seeking Michelle out, escaping the sheltered life inside the hotel room, until Michelle and Billy come to an impasse on a serious topic, one close to Billy’s heart. But little does Billy know that Michelle has also become close to his heart, and he doesn’t realize it until she climbs onto the shuttle bus to go back to the airport…out of his life forever.
A heartbreaking, true-to-life story about the trials and tribulations of being a rock star, and falling in love unexpectedly, with someone you would never have expected to fall for. A story that covers sensitive subject matter, readers will see rock stars in a whole different light, and the people that love them, too. Dress Rehearsal has sensitive scenes, violence, course language, drug use and graphic sex, so please be forewarned. Billy and Michelle’s story is a standalone that will leave you laughing, crying, and rooting for the main characters as they take you through their journey of love, heartbreak, success and triumph.

A successful guitarist. Broken by one, made by another…and wrecked by the one person he’s trusted since birth.
Jimmy Trent wasn’t born with a guitar in his hand, but his big brother Ken showed him the ropes at a tender age. Jimmy was hooked, and when the band Brainchild was born, he began to fulfill his childhood dream. With Ken by his side, Jimmy soars with his band, reaching milestones most rock stars simply get to witness from their parent’s garages. But when Mandy, Jimmy’s first love, comes into the picture, all bets are off. When the supermodel doesn’t bring him all the promises a proper wife should, the rock star finds himself in a hole that he can’t dig himself out of.
Cindy Kilgore never thought her beloved husband would stoop to the level that fifty percent of men have, but when she receives the news that he’s warmed another woman’s bed, she packs her bags to move back to the hometown she’s missed. With her mother suffering from a recent stroke, it’s all the more reason for Cindy’s return. And with her two-bit a-hole boss driving a stake through her budding career, it gives her three reasons to move on. She never expects to find the job of a lifetime at a recording studio. But the job comes with strings attached that she’s bluntly acquainted with the second she sees rock star Jimmy Trent answer the door.
With Cindy’s surprisingly apt skills, Jimmy quickly notices that Cindy is cut out for more than just an assistant’s position, and this realization could not have come at a better time, since they’re missing one head in the team. She quickly takes on more and more responsibility with ease and enthusiasm, until an unexpected visit to the emergency room threatens to bring Cindy’s new career to a grinding halt. Jimmy has a tough decision to make, and with the growing pressure of a new record and a recording contract’s ink that isn’t even dried yet, the rock star and his band need to make some quick, impossible changes. Jimmy finds himself unable to turn his cheek on Cindy. What’s worse, she doesn’t even know it…yet.
Filled with heartache, heartbreak and a handsome helping of triumph, ‘Opening Night’ is the perfect complement to ‘Dress Rehearsal’. Get your tissues out, this one is a tearjerker! Fair warning: this story covers sensitive adult subject matter and has course language, violence, drug use and explicit sex. Readers will see rock stars in a whole new light and find themselves with aching hearts.

A rock star. An author. A relationship like oil and water. A miracle is their only hope. And then one happens.
Tommy Stopliewicz is the insanely talented yet troubled lead guitarist in one of the world’s top rock bands, aptly named ‘Stop’. The band’s works have never seen platinum status, and then a band member threatens to remove their gold status for good in one fell swoop. Never one to back down, Tommy is suddenly headfirst in the pursuit of his life and livelihood. Until he’s invited to a charity fundraiser that changes his life forever.
Debbie Branscombe has just become a New York Times bestselling author, but the status doesn’t live up to its expectations, especially since she’s raising two teenage girls on her own. Holding a full-time job and squeezing in time to write while she and her girls continue to mourn for their beloved father and husband is no easy task. When she’s invited to donate books to a charity fundraiser and recite a reading, she jumps at the huge PR potential. Little does she know that one of her favorite bands has also donated to the event.
When Tommy sits in the sidelines as Debbie does the reading of her book, he’s instantly enthralled and a spark strikes him unlike any other. But is Debbie ready to not only enter into a relationship so soon after her husband’s death, but, to a rock star? Debbie soon learns that there are elements to the lifestyle that are dangerous to say the least, and Tommy is soon begging her to stay. But it isn’t just Debbie’s life at stake here, it’s her kid’s lives, too. Tommy must give up the one thing that he’s done his entire adult life, or he’ll lose the one and only woman that he’s ever loved, forever. But the saving grace for him is that that one thing isn’t his guitar…

His fingers bled. Her body healed. It was more than a scalped concert ticket. It was a life change.
Diana Shaw is every parent’s dream. She’s a straight A student, loved by great friends, keeps her nose clean with boys, and sings in the church choir with her mother, while her father watches proudly from the pew. Diana is sunshine and happiness to most, until her life is torn apart over an eighteen month stretch of nightmarish treatment, which she tells nobody about. Until someone makes a gruesome discovery after a concert one night. Can she go against everything she believes in and lie, or does she tell a total stranger the truth and risk everything?
Danny Spellman is the lead guitarist for the popular and long-running band ‘Risk It’. Female fans adore him, male fans want to be him, and his bonds with his band members are strong and fruitful. In the business ten years and running strong, on the last night of the band’s world tour, Danny meets a little wallflower that notices something about him that nobody else has. Intrigued, Danny pushes her, testing her limits, until he learns something about her that both terrifies and infuriates him all at the same time.
With a sudden shift of the testosterone level in his house, Danny finds himself comforting Diana, befriending her, and learning things about the female species that he would never have guessed. And just when Danny thinks that Diana’s innate strength is something gleaned through heartache, she invites him to church, to hear her sing. Feeling like he’s discovered the next big thing, Danny is feverishly on the phone with his producer and recording company. Little does he know that he’s stirring the pot with someone he least expects to be watching. And the gunshot is the telling tale.
Loaded with tons of emotion and inspiration, this rock star romance will leave readers looking at the music industry and the artists in a whole different light.

Their first hit single. His first betrayal. And two women that make Randy question everything he’s ever wanted.
Randy Jackson loves his life. He’s got a beautiful, hard-working celebrity wife, and a rising musical career as the lead guitarist in a band that just signed their first record deal. He has a great dog, and the best relationships with his band members, namely his stepbrother, who is the lead vocalist. Little clues pass by him that things aren’t quite as hunky-dorey as they may seem, but Randy’s rose-colored glasses currently blind him.
Darrell Tanner loves her job as a video editor for the music industry. She’s met all types of musicians that adorn the face of MTV, but none ever appreciate her hard work until the boys from Brave Face appear. Darrell is suddenly treated like royalty, and she basks in the accoutrements in a dream-like state, forgetting about her second-class boss who spends more time on vacation than he does in the office. But one day she realizes that she’s taken things too far, and it’s too late to do anything about it. Can she walk away and leave the best thing that’s ever happened to her?
Randy’s wake-up call comes like a bat out of hell, and when he least expects it. The only thing that has kept his focus in such a tumultuous industry is the one thing that he’s about to lose for good, and the worst part is, he has to be the one to walk away from it. Until someone he least expects breaks his fall, and everyone else sees it coming, including Randy…but is he too jaded to do anything about it?
A beautiful love story about survival in a tough industry that labels and points fingers in all directions at undeserving people, and the lies that they tell to get ahead under the spotlight. This is a rock star romance that underscores the betrayal that exists in Hollywood, and how stars either sink or swim through it, just like the rest of the world does. First Cut contains course language and graphic sex, so please be forewarned. This book, like all others in this series, is a standalone, and can be enjoyed in any sequence.
