Sleeping with your client is bad, but what I did is even worse.

When I’m sent to Ember Falls to handle a PR nightmare, I have no idea I am creating a crisis of my own. Killian Thorn is everything I know to resist—older, rugged and handsome with mesmerizing green eyes and a wicked smile—which is why instead of running from him, I end up in his bed.

Forced to work together, our stolen kisses are the least of our worries because the scandal on Killian’s ranch continues to grow.

My job is to fix the issue, but our secret is only making it worse.

My best friend convinces me that being with my client isn’t really such a faux pas. In fact, she thinks I should go for it since I’ve always guarded my heart.

Trouble is, neither of us realize we’re talking about her dad.


Tessa is a junior publicist from New York and is being sent to Ember Falls for an important client in crisis. At the beginning of this work trip, one night she decides to have a little bit of fun and uncharacteristically lets go with a very charismatic man. Their one night is off the charts, and their chemistry is amazing. It’s a great escape until reality crashes in.

Killian Thorn is a businessman and horse ranch owner who’s having a financial crisis with brand involvement. His trainer is missing, he’s losing money and business, and he doesn’t know what’s going on. He needs the help of this PR rep to manage this crisis, and they just created another one. 

I absolutely loved these two together. There’s an age gap, but their chemistry is just so good. They try to resist and try to focus on work, but there’s such a push and pull between them. She’s younger and trying to prove herself to her company, and he’s just trying to save his. They have common goals, but are also kind of a distraction.

Killian’s always been the more serious and stoic of the group, and I liked seeing his softer, protective side. He just wanted a little something for himself in the midst of all the drama. And little did they know that the drama was just beginning.

This is an age gap, business associates, forced proximity, best friend's father, ranch and small town romance with some twists and surprises. 
I really got invested in these characters. And there were definite surprises and twists throughout the story. A couple of them I figured out, but there were some things that I didn’t see coming. But the mystery and the suspense kept ramping up till I was staying up late and flipping pages just to see how it was going to turn out.

But at the core of this is this love story between two people that really needed an anchor and a reason to live fully and to fight for what they wanted, even when it seemed impossible. I loved the support they got from the crew in Ember Falls. I was also excited to get some special cameos. I really enjoyed this series, and my only regret is that Hazel is not getting her own book because I really like her. I was really hoping that since her book got canceled,  we would at least see a bigger parallel story in this one for her, but there was a bit in the extended epilogue. 

 


All Too Well
Ember Falls #1

For as long as I can remember, Lachlan West has been my brother’s best friend and the love of my life. Trouble is, he kissed me four years ago and then never spoke to me again.

I was doing great pretending he doesn’t exist until I was assigned to write an article about former college athletes and I learn that the sexy single-dad is my first interview.

Determined to wow my editor with an amazing sportsball piece. (Have I mentioned I know nothing about sports?) I head to Ember Falls, ready to face my fears—and the man I love.

The grumpy quarterback turned fireman wants nothing to do with me or my article. Yet, somehow I persuade him to let me follow him around for a few weeks, and even if he said yes just to get rid of me, I’ll take it.

But the longer I stay in his small town, the more complicated our story gets. The boundaries we set fall to the ground—along with our clothes.

He holds me like I matter, touches me like I’m cherished and kisses me like he loves me.

We both know I have to leave Ember Falls, and he’ll never follow—I only wish I could write a different ending to our story.


Here and Now

I've crafted my new life in Ember Falls with two simple rules: maintain superficial relationships and always be ready to run.

But when my son's incredibly hot hockey coach Miles Anderson walks in, things get very, very complicated.

With his charming smile and our accidental dates, he's the exact opposite of any man I've ever dated. That should make saying yes to being with him simple, but nothing in my life is easy.

In fact, it's a mess.

Miles makes me smile and treats my son like his own. When we're together, I forget about my troubles and dream of a life that I will never be able to have with him.

It's only a matter of time until the past comes knocking and I'll have to leave, breaking us both in the process.



Against All Odds
Ember Falls #3

When my ex-husband leaves me for the co-star in his movie, moving back to Ember Falls feels like my only option.

Everett Finnegan, my first love and the man I’ve never forgotten, is ready to welcome me with open arms…and an open bed.

But when I find out I’m pregnant with my ex’s baby, my entire world is upended.

My ex doesn’t want the baby, but I plan to rebuild my life as a single mother, and figure out how to handle all of this alone.

Except that I don’t seem to be alone—Everett always shows up for me.

I don’t expect him to get mixed up in all my drama—not when he has his own. And I wish he would listen to me when I say we have to stop whatever it is we’re doing.

But he wants me, the baby, and my heart.

So when I’m forced to return to California sooner than planned, I’m devastated.

Everett can’t leave Ember Falls, and I can’t stay.

Saying goodbye to him the first time was hard enough. This time, it just might break me.
