Follow the Author

Jacob & Lilly. The heart wants what the heart wants. A modern-day romantic trilogy with plenty of steam, angst, twists and sob worth HEA.

From the Moment We Met | Book One

Jacob

I’m currently hosting a self-imposed pity party. The reason? I’ve been robbed – of my dignity, my acting career, and my award statuette. I have my ex-girlfriend to thank for my recent debacle. Victoria is a world-famous singer who sank her claws not only into my skin but also my Hollywood reputation. Now, I’ve got one goal – repair the damage and get my life back.

The one thing I didn’t count on in my return to Hollywood? Lilly Staver. That woman can burn me with her glare and melt me with her touch. My ego wants to hate her, my mind can’t stop thinking about her, and don’t even get me started on my heart. She’s the one distraction I can’t afford, but the heart wants what the heart wants. And I want Lilly.

Unguarded Moments | Book Two

Lilly

I knew Jacob Edmonton would break my heart. I felt it from the moment we met, but I fell in love anyway. Apparently, I fell in love alone. When he was given a choice between our fledgling love affair and a blockbuster movie role, you can guess which one emerged the winner. I didn’t stand a chance. Not between the beckoning of Hollywood’s bright lights and Victoria’s determination to win back her man.

At least he’s thousands of kilometers from my side – filming on the pristine beaches of Greece. He started calling me again. He wants to be friends… and more. The man has a million promises, but he’s also a world-class actor. I fell for him once, but I won’t fall again, no matter how much my heart aches for Jacob.

Beautifully Broken Moments | Book Three

Victoria

Yes, I did it. Do you think I’m sorry? I planned out every last detail and upended Jacob and Lilly’s relationship with a single statement. Did I mention it was on international television? How wonderfully naïve; they thought I’d leave them to their happiness.

Despite my selfish conquest, I didn’t expect the tragedy that occurred immediately afterward. None of us did. I wanted Lilly gone, but not in this manner. Now, Jacob is more determined than ever to remain by her side. I’ll have to pull out all the stops to reclaim what’s mine… regardless of the price Jacob and Lilly will have to pay.

Once Upon A Holiday

PLUS bonus content.

The Ahern Brothers Collection contains one duet and one full-length, standalone romance holiday.

Funny how some things work and life sets a morsel or two of joy down after a shitty storm.

Life has sucked for a few years. Everything around me seems colorless, even sad. My life, if you can still call it that, has lost its spark. It’s barely recognizable anymore. I can’t even call it my own. Today of all days, I have to pretend to give two shits about the company I co-own with my brother.

Having dinner with some of the executives to celebrate their latest project isn’t my idea of a good time or a good anything. I did it for my brother who couldn’t be here. He owes me. This is what I get for continuing the family legacy.

Fortunately, I had someone to entertain me. For most of my time I observe the beauty that sits a few tables away from the private room we rented for the occasion. I requested the owner to keep the door open.

The first thing I spot are her slick dark curls. She’s facing a woman with the same hair color, just shorter and straight. Her voice is silvery, the tone vivid. She keeps the attention of her friends as she tells one story after another. Actually, a few people who are around, including myself remain focused on her.

Everything she says is funny, if not embarrassing at times. But she chuckles, and gestures while keeping us captivated. She’s one of those people who can laugh at themselves and enjoy life. The few times she turns her head around I can see she’s beautiful. In fact, she looks a lot like one of the other women.

When she excuses herself to go to the restroom, I’m tempted to follow her. Without thinking twice, I rise from my seat and follow. How can I let the chance to meet someone like her go? She’s like a breath of fresh air. Talking about funny situations, she happens to be in the same restroom as I am and fuck if it isn’t embarrassing and yet a turn-on that she was there in the middle of the men’s room.

When I first see her face, I freeze because fuck, I’ve never seen someone as beautiful as her.

She’s stunning.

The kind of beauty you see in Greek sculptures and inspires art. In fact, I want to head to my studio and draw her.

She’s about five-seven, maybe five-eight with mouthwatering curves and the face of an angel. Big brown eyes framed by long eyelashes. A button nose which tip is slightly turned upward. Full lips and a long neck that makes me want to kiss her and so much more.

When Beckett, my bodyguard, comes to check on me, I’m thankful because I’m too old for one-night stands and too jaded to believe this could work. In no time, she’s going to figure out who I am and ask for money or a relationship.

Except, her little line about washing my hands and the indifference turns me on and makes me act recklessly.

Or maybe for the first time in years, I’m taking a chance. There might be a different spin to the story. The girl is from out of town, doesn’t know me from Adam, and she’s sexy as fuck.

So, I walk along with her to the hotel, trying to size her up and see how I can convince her to spend the night with me. She doesn’t even acknowledge me for the two long blocks we walk together. After her goodbye, I ignore her dismissal and follow her inside the hotel. Just before she reaches the elevator bank, I catch up to her and say, “This can’t possibly be it.”

She turns around and glares at me. “Did you forget something?”

“We had a moment,” I insist.

“A moment? Me seeing your …” She glances at my crotch and smiles amused. “That wasn’t a moment. It was a mistake on my part.”

“Come on,” I say, winking at her. “Let’s go to the bar. Please, have one drink with me and then you can go back to your room. You owe me that much.”

“It was an accident,” she insists.

I shrug. “Still, I’m a shy boy and need something to help me settle the embarrassment.”

She laughs. Looking at me from head to toe. “You’re old enough to survive the blow.”

“I’m still a kid on the inside.”

She laugh-snorts. It’s endearing. “Does that line normally work?”

I smirk at her hoping this charms her. “You tell me? Have I convinced you, yet?”

Carter:

Family. Honor. Commitment.

My entire life was built around these three words.

But burying the pain is easier than dealing with it and that’s what I’d planned to do.

Until Lex Evans showed up.

She tore down the walls I’d thrown around my heart brick by brick.

She reduced me to rubble, so she could build me back up.

Lex:

I am the girl people abandon and I’ve accepted that.

I don’t say no because I don’t know how and people take advantage of it.

I hoped he’d be different. It seemed like he was.

Carter Ross swept into my life and I didn’t say no.

But this time, I didn’t want to.

His walls are up so high, but I can see the cracks.

And in all his darkness, he can’t stop the light from seeping through.

When he leaves, I’ll be the one to break.

When I told my brother I’d do anything to save our dad’s restaurant, I should have been more specific. What I’d meant was I’d auction off a couple of old jerseys, not go on a reality dating show in the hopes of boosting business until he could finally retire.

But since I know a thing or two about taking one for the team, I suit up, hop on a plane, and head to a mansion in L.A. where I’ll spend the next eight weeks.

Thankfully, it’s not as bad as I feared. After all, there are worse things in life than spending time with a smart, beautiful woman. And some of the guys I’m competing against are pretty cool, too—when we aren’t trying to outdo one another for her affections.

Only, in a surprise twist absolutely no one saw coming, she’s not the person I’m falling for. The suave, confidant man who sleeps across the hall, however? That’s a whole different story.

AUTHOR BIO

Hey, thanks for reading my bio to check me out! Has anyone told you, you’re beautiful and amazing lately? Just in case they haven’t, I am!

So you want to know a little more about me? Well, okay then. Much like any author out there, sleeping doesn’t come easily to me. As it turns out, I’ve got horrible insomnia. Like, scary horrible. Anyway, when I was younger, to help myself fall asleep I’d tell myself stories. Each night I’d pick up where the story left off previously until it was complete. Then I started writing them down. A few months later, here I am, sharing my lack of sleep with all of you. Who said the stories in our heads can’t be fun for others?

When life hits, it holds nothing back. Renzo Pagano knows just how hard life’s punch can slam against you and just how deep the wounds can embed themselves inside of your soul.

Ten years ago all Siobahn Doyle was normal. Then she wasn’t or at least her life wasn’t. Everything changed in an instant. Her beloved sister disappeared without a trace.

A stranger’s touch. A kiss. A sensation she’s never felt before. Siobahn takes a chance one night with a handsome American–a possibly too handsome American. Their actions, their attraction, it changes the course of their lives completely.

This hitman who hasn’t felt kindness’ touch since he was a boy falls for the innocent Siobahn. She is everything he knows he doesn’t deserve, and yet, he’s going to bind her to him and keep her for himself. That is… if he can keep her safe.

As an only child, Hayley Faiman had to entertain herself somehow. She started writing stories at the age of six and never really stopped.

Born in California, she met her now husband at the age of sixteen and married him at the age of twenty in 2004. After all of these years together, he’s still the love of her life.

Hayley’s husband joined the military and they lived in Oregon,where he was stationed with the US Coast Guard. They moved back to California in 2006, where they had two little boys. Recently, the four of them moved out to the Hill Country of Texas, where they adopted a new family member, a chocolate lab named Optimus Prime.

Most of Hayley’s days are spent taking care of her two boys, going to the baseball fields for practice, or helping them with homework. Her evenings are spent with her husband and her nights—those are spent creating alpha book boyfriends.

New Release ~ This Is It ~ by ~ Tess Summers

Title: This Is It

Author: Tess Summers

Genre: Contemporary/Second Chance Romance Novella

Release Date: December 15, 2020

Paige

When I woke up Christmas morning, I didn’t know if I’d been on Santa’s nice list this year—or his naughty one. Thinking back to the prior evening’s events, I decided it was definitely the naughty one. There had to be a mistake—I was always on the nice list. But the gorgeous, naked man snuggled next to me seemed to suggest I had a lump of… something waiting for me. Maybe the nice list was overrated. Or maybe naughty girls really did end up with coal in their stockings.

Grant

I was now on the ‘every-other-weekend and alternating holiday schedule’ with my kids—one more thing about divorce that I detested. Attending my law partner’s Christmas Eve party seemed like a better alternative to drinking alone in my boring beige condo, staring at my new pipe-cleaner tree with its new, shiny ornaments. The last thing I expected was to be propositioned by a former PTA President. Or to wake up Christmas morning not wanting to leave her bed. But you don’t get to be our age without plenty of baggage. The question was, did ours match?

This sexy, feel-good, second chance romance will have you cheering for Paige and Grant to finally find their happily ever after together. But not before they discover that dating—at any age—isn’t so easy.

Tess Summers is a former businesswoman and teacher who always loved writing but never seemed to have time to sit down and write a short story, let alone a novel. Now battling MS, her life changed dramatically, and she has finally slowed down enough to start writing all the stories she’s been wanting to tell, including the fun and sexy ones!

Married over twenty-five years with three grown children, Tess is a former dog foster mom who ended up failing and adopting them instead. She and her husband (and their five dogs) split their time between the desert of Arizona and the lakes of Michigan, so she’s always in a climate that’s not too hot and not too cold, but just right!

The answer to his problem comes in the form of a strong, gorgeous woman he hasn’t seen in over twenty years. Since Jemma’s no longer a kid he can ignore, he must remind himself she’s only there for one reason. And causing problems between him and her brother, the club’s Sergeant at Arms, is definitely not one of them.

With her help, Cage slowly begins adjusting to the new normal his life has become. Until the Shirley Clan does the unthinkable. Now it’s up to him to make sure they regret stealing what’s his. With everything to lose, this will be the most important fight of his life.

Note: Blood & Bones: Cage is the fifth book in the Blood Fury MC series. As always, this book has no cheating, no cliffhanger and has an HEA. It’s recommended to read this series in order.

The lights are strung, and the quaint little town of Meadowbrook has never looked more merry and bright. For local artist, Bree, it truly is the most wonderful time of the year. The snow is falling, holiday shoppers are out full force, and the town square festivities have begun.

Times and circumstances may have changed, but her desire to sit on Caleb’s lap is stronger than ever.

Recovering from a painful loss, Caleb thought his sleigh rocking days were long since over. Yet when his precocious daughter, Alyssa, sees the twinkle Bree brings to her dad’s eye, she arranges a hot cocoa date for him and the sassy elf.
