Reaching for You

When Trevor’s longterm girlfriend walks out on him and takes their dog because she expected him to show her a more prestigious life, he’s devastated. That he’d only recently realized she was more like his own pretentious and demanding mother than he’d thought possible hadn’t negated the fact that he’d loved her. Five months later, his friends still struggle to convince him to leave the house and hang out with them. The one night he relents changes everything.

When Kelsey’s husband of fifteen years dies, leaving her alone in a place she’d never wanted to be, she’s devastated. Everything she had was connected in some way to the man who’d wasted away before her eyes. That she’d compromised her lust for life and adventure for his small-town dreams couldn’t change the fact that she had loved him. Five years later, she’s convinced herself that she’s content with her small-town life. The one night she decides to venture to a local bar for people watching changes her whole perspective.

Can they find what they’ve been missing in each other, or will the years between them be a chasm too far to cross?

Who wouldn’t want to be worshipped by a beautiful man with a quirky sense of humor?

Though she hadn’t moved more than two hours away when she was fourteen, it might as well have been across the country.

For Jake, time seems to have stood still for the past twenty years. Then the one person he never thought he’d see again is standing right in front of him, Morgan Humphries, his first love, his first kiss, and his one regret.

Josefina

Josefina Exposito is your average eccentric, elementary-school teacher who makes candles in her free time and absolutely loves all things spooky, much to the chagrin of her father who doesn’t believe in anything supernatural. When Professor Panty Melter enters her vendor tent at the Renaissance Faire on her 25th birthday, strange things start to happen. Wisps of shadowy smoke wrap around the man like a caress she can feel as if her hands were the ones touching him. Each time the tendrils of shadow manifest after that, however, they aren’t as innocuous, yet, he always seems to be there to make things better. Until, one day, he’s not. 

Alistaire Seagal has a job to do, and teaching basic pharmacology to Master’s students isn’t it. He recognizes her from the moment he steps into that lecture hall to observe. The pull of her aura calls to him, and try as he might, he can’t stay away. Coven be damned, she is his to protect, not theirs to contain. He knows it, and worse, his demon knows it. Together, they will destroy everything to keep her safe…to keep her.

Clarissa and the Wallflower

They say opposites attract, so when the attention-seeker and the wallflower become friends, anything is possible.

Clarissa and Marc are the most unlikely couple, yet it doesn’t take much for everyone in Ardor Point to believe that they’re dating. No one would believe that the woman affectionately called The Pied Piper of Ardor Point could be friends with a guy, especially one so sweet, introverted, and standoffish as Marc. Marc, however, is drawn to confident women who see him for who he is, who don’t ask him to pretend to be something he’s not. Florist’s assistant by day and dominatrix by night, Clarissa, on the other hand, is a master of pretending to be someone else. In her leather and lace costumes, she’s the queen of pleasure manipulation. At least, she is until the one person she never expects to see walks into her dungeon. 

When the weight of his own secrets pulls him away from Clarissa, a difficult conversation and wise words spur him into action. He’s willing to do whatever is necessary to close the rift between them, but she’s no longer willing to pretend there isn’t more than friendship between them. If they spill all their secrets, will the revelations bring them closer together or ruin their chances for a happy future?

Shar’s Story

Sharlene Maxwell had never had a problem getting a date, getting laid, or getting a gig. When other girls were lamenting their changing bodies, she embraced her thickening thighs, hips, and belly. As a mid-size model, she was a hot commodity, and her agent/best friend Jerry kept her busy with consistent, travel-paid, photo shoots. Still, at 26 years old, she knew those days were numbered. Then, she landed the gig of a lifetime–a year-long series of marketing campaigns for one of the top telecommunications companies in the country.

Shar only had one major rule: No fraternizing at work.

Sloan Mackenzie built Velocity Telecommunications up from nothing. Their recent excursion into cellular devices rather than cellular service plans flopped, leaving him questioning the company’s future. With the help of his business partner, they created a new marketing plan that included hiring someone else to be the face of the products. He left the details to his partner and went to blow off steam the way he always did, surfing. Drowning his stress in the ocean and appreciating the beautiful women along the sand had always helped him get his mind right.

Mack only had one rule: Do not get involved.

When chance finds them on the same beaches, on opposite shores, at the same time, they each must decide if the other is worth breaking the rules.
