In USA Today bestseller TAKEN BY LOVE... Daisy Honey fled Trusty, Colorado, after years of battling rumors sparked by her gorgeous looks and lust-inducing name. Now a physician on the brink of a promising career, she reluctantly returns home when her father is injured in a farming accident. Daisy expects the small-town girls who hurt her in the past to take cheap shots again--but she's completely unprepared for a run-in with tall, dark, and wickedly sexy Luke Braden, the only man who has ever stood up for her--and the man she's never forgotten.
Luke Braden is handsome, wealthy, and the best damn gypsy horse breeder in the Midwest. After a restless youth, he's finally ready to settle down--only connecting with women is nothing like connecting with horses, and he's never met a woman worth the energy. After an arrest in a neighboring town, Luke's past comes back to haunt him, and he realizes that his inability to find love runs deeper than he ever imagined.
A chance encounter sweeps Luke and Daisy into a world of passion. For the first time ever, Luke feels a connection, but Daisy's life in Trusty is anything but permanent, and Luke can't manage a future until he puts his past to rest.

Two single dads. One huge grudge. And one tiny tent.It’s hard enough balancing two jobs with raising my son solo. Forget dating. I barely have time for laundry.But when my son’s scouting troop The Falcons needed a co-scout leader, I couldn’t say no. There’s just one ginormous problem: the other scout leader Russ.To all other parents, he’s #DadGoals, Mr. Sexy Widower who lords over the drop off line.To me? He’s the bane of my picket-fenced existence - stuck up, anal (not in the fun way), and definitely the person who got me booted from the Parent Teacher Association. I can’t let him wrest control of The Falcons and have history repeat itself - no matter how hot he looks in his khaki uniform.Thing is, the more we work together, the more I glimpse the caring man lurking under the cold exterior. Maybe he isn’t the completely wretched human being I thought.We’d both sworn off romance to focus on fatherhood, and nothing’s going to change that, not even sharing a too-small tent in the wilderness.Right?The Falcon and the Foe is an MM enemies-to-lovers romance containing hot single dads, sizzling snarky banter, pitched tent puns, skinny dipping, and an HEA. It's the first in the Single Dads Club series, but can be read as a standalone.

An age-gap romance with a jealous, possessive alpha and a sinfully sweet baker. A mix as delicious as cupcakes and sprinkles.I, Piper Skye, was a party girl. I was rage-all-night, sleep-never. I liked to get wild and live free.Or I would've if I had the time.And the energy.And not being so awkward would probably help, too.As the owner of a thriving dessert business, I spent my days at school and my nights elbow deep in batter and frosting. And, no, that wasn't a euphemism for something fun. I knew my hard work and sacrifice would pay off as long as I stayed focused and stuck to the plan.A plan that never factored in Jake Hyde. He was an even bigger workaholic than me. He was also a bigger... Well, let's just say his jaded outlook on life didn't make him as sweet as one of my signature cupcakes. Surrounding himself with employees he considered his brothers, he'd long ago made the decision that his custom garage would be his focus.Fate, as it often does, had other ideas.Plus, a killer sense of humor...*Warning: This book is intended for adults. It contains frequent adult language and situations. Don’t try this at home. At least not without stretching first. Maybe keep the sneakers on for traction, too. ***This is book one in a series, but each book will be a STANDALONE with a new couple. NO cliffhanger.***
