Stand-alone Steamy Weekends romance, complete with HEA–and plenty of heat and heart along the way!
Cooper Briggs
The minute I saw her in that heart-stopping red dress, I knew I’d do whatever it took to make her mine – even if it meant anonymously bidding on myself in the bachelor auction and then pulling strings to make sure that “she” won me.
Unfortunately, she didn’t seem to want anything to do with me after the auction, winning bid or not. Still, I’m looking at that as a minor setback. I didn’t settle for defeat when I was in the NFL, and I don’t plan on starting now. Not when the stakes are this high.
Dr. Vanessa Cupid
I’ve built a life and career by helping other people drop the walls they’ve built around their hearts and create true intimacy. The one thing I’ve never tried, though, is taking my own advice. I can’t risk letting anyone get too close.
That’s never been a problem until now. But the minute Cooper Briggs kissed the back of my hand, I knew I was in trouble. He’s the first person I’ve ever met that might be able to threaten my carefully-guarded heart.
For Coop and Vanessa, will one Steamy Weekend be enough to change everything?

[Rating: PG-13] From the award-winning author of Florida-based historical fiction (Patrick D. Smith Award, Florida Historical Society, 2015, 2018, 2021, 2022). “Tales of Old Florida” is the First novel in the award-winning “Tropical Frontier” series. NOTE: This volume INCLUDES “The Wreckers,” the separate and stand-alone novel formatted especially for young readers.
The Southern Frontier: A road-less, watery wilderness, uninviting to all but the most stouthearted and adventurous. As great cities were springing up in places like St. Louis, Denver, and San Francisco, the lower peninsula of Florida endured. Here, the panther, the alligator, and the bald eagle remained safe from the restless, meddlesome hands of civilization, continuing as they had for eons past. Renegade Indians, pirates, hurricanes, and man-eating animals – not to mention venomous snakes and bloodthirsty hordes of mosquitoes – reigned supreme. It took a certain kind of person to boldly venture into such an inhospitable environment where a man had only himself and his family upon which to depend. It took men and women with not only vision, but backbone and grit, people like the MacLeods, Dawsons, and Hackensaws, true pioneers who confronted whatever came their way, together, as a family. From shipwrecks to Indian uprisings to buried treasure, blockade runners to murderous beach tramps, and the sad, lonely life of the solitary beachcomber, Tales of Old Florida takes the reader back to a singular time and place that will never be seen again. Above all, Tales of Old Florida is an epic saga of survival and prosperity, love and love lost, and most important, the power of the human spirit to prevail.
