Vicki Hansol’s done trying to prove she’s nothing like her mother or sister. No matter what she does, the town still sees her as the bad girl who’ll never measure up. When the whispers get too loud, she decides it’s time for a fresh start—and that means facing an old fear. Joel Coleman’s easy smile hides a quiet determination. He’s tired of being the carefree youngest twin with nothing to his name but charm and good timing. He’s ready to step up, prove himself, and maybe take a few risks along the way. When Vicki asks him for help—riding lessons—sparks fly fast. But what starts as fun turns complicated once real feelings get involved. Because love isn’t simple in a small town that never forgets. A small-town, opposites-attract, redemption romance with a not-so-bad girl who deserves a fresh start, a good guy ready to get dirty, and heat that burns hotter than a prairie summer.

Being a single dad while managing one of the biggest businesses in New Orleans keeps me very busy. I spend my free time with my daughter, Bella — reading to her, styling her hair, or choosing nail polishes appropriate for an eight-year-old. But I’m okay with that because she is my whole world. After my divorce, I made myself a promise: I wouldn’t date until Bella was older. Then all my good intentions go up in smoke when I hire our newest chef for the flagship restaurant in the French Quarter. Scarlett Jones is unlike any woman I’d ever met. She’s smart and beautiful and I can’t get enough of her. For more reasons than one, I need to keep my distance. So when I begin flirting… surprising her with beignets and coffee at break time, then king cake after hours, I know I’ve gone too far. And when I join Scarlett on a ridiculous haunted tour of the city, I’m certain I’ve lost my mind. She’s become my addiction. I want to explore those curves, find out her deepest desires—and make them come true. But it’s when she offers to teach my daughter how to bake, I know I’m in wayyyyy over my head. When the three of us are together, I get a glimpse of the family we could be. The question is, are we both ready to put our fears behind us? And to think, it all started with a little flirt.

According to Grant Holiday, there are two kinds of people in the world: those who follow the rules and those who should stay the heck out of his forest. He’s decided I’m the rule-breaking enemy, and that’s just fine with me. No matter how pretty his green eyes are, how handsome he is, or how often he finds me when I’m lost, he is definitely not my type. A smart woman would lie low, try to follow the rules, and avoid Grant Holiday, but he just keeps showing up and pointing out every rule I’m breaking whether I’m rescuing an injured skunk or accepting a job at his brother’s bookstore. He’s the last person I want to see every day, until… he isn’t. Which is awkward, because I’ve got trust issues and he’s hung up on his ex. We’ll never work as a couple, so I should ignore my irrational attraction to the infuriating man. Should be easy, right? Except he’s just made it clear the attraction goes both ways.

Rumor has it when you eat one of her Cupid chocolates on Valentine's Day, you'll meet your soulmate. Lucy is wary of putting too much faith in the legend, but she loves that How Sweet It Is has been a part of so many love stories...and if she wants to keep her great-grandparent's chocolate shop afloat, she needs all the help she can get. Or is it all an elaborate con? Ambitious and skeptical reporter Dean Chase doesn't believe in magic, and he's not too keen on love-at-first sight either. He prefers facts to fate, and he takes pride in his role as defender of the little guy. When a post about the Cupids goes viral, Dean is assigned to do a puff piece on Lucy and her shop. He's fully prepared to take down the chocolate shop taking advantage of romantic desperation, but he isn't prepared for Lucy. Smart, funny, driven...she's not at all what he expected, and might be exactly what he needs. Will the legend melt like chocolate under closer inspection? Or could this cynic actually start believing in magic...and love?

Keats is my enemy. Which makes the fact that we end up in bed together even more complicated—especially considering he’s also my grumpy next-door neighbor. It started with him being the bane of my existence. The uptight, infuriatingly handsome lawyer with a permanent scowl and a glare sharp enough to slice glass. He storms over every time my mail ends up in his box—or whenever he feels like reminding me that photography isn’t a “real” job. Keats knows exactly how to get under my skin, and honestly? Half the time I want to strangle him. The other half…I’m trying not to imagine what he looks like shirtless. The tension between us? It's electric. And one night, it snaps. What starts as a moment of weakness turns into something more dangerous: a no-strings-attached, enemies-with-benefits situation. Totally unintentional. Totally addictive. But the more time we spend together, the more cracks I see in Keats’s carefully constructed armor. The way he shows up when things go wrong at my house. His playing hero card does something to me. Apparently, he’s not the man I thought he was—and I’m not sure I want to return to hating him. We never meant for this to mean something. But it’s starting to feel a lot like everything I’ve ever wanted. Banter, steam, and low on angst, Everything I Wanted is the first in the Everhope Road series, a spin-off from the Lake Spark world. It can be read as a standalone.
