I was right. Being a stripper did mess up my chances with love. That. And Angel.
It was hard to be a server instead. Worse than not having big pay days anymore, and feeling like the help around Brick Road, I have to see Angel almost every day.
I was sure if I ever met a man again, she’d somehow get in the way.
And I was right.
Because it’s her twin brother.
Gorgeous doctor, humanitarian, samba dancing sex God Zac is My. Enemy’s. Brother.
Time to solve the paradox. It’s the only chance for my happily ever after.
A self-professed chameleon, I have lived in many skins. Three countries have given me home, and I’ve circled the globe leaving out only Antarctica. I speak two languages fluently and can order food and say “I love you” in many more. Travel fulfills my fascination and desire to discover the various fibres that bring together the fabric of humanity. In my time around the world, meeting people from all walks of life and various cultural identities, I have concluded so far that love is the golden thread. This is why, of all the books and material I write, romance is my biggest obsession.
I have a passion for writing books that break through the wall of mystery between ‘them’ and ‘us’, and I hope to give readers a glimpse into lifestyles and lives that would otherwise remain unknown. Using the backdrop of romance, I want to draw us all together through love, something we can all understand. Romance on the path less taken.
When I’m not reading or writing, I’m probably singing very loudly, brushing my pony, walking dogs, cycling or swimming in the sea. Like every respectable woman, I also like drinking champagne and eating half of every chocolate in a truffles box. My spirit animal is a butterfly.
My life has always revolved around two things, baseball and Charlotte Easton.
My dad jokes that I was born with a baseball in my hand, ready to start pitching. And Charlotte, well she’s been my girl ever since Kindergarten.
We’ve had our future all planned out- college and playing college ball, graduate and get drafted onto an MLB team then get married and start our family. Always that plan, always in that order.
Then life throws us a curveball. Now, we have to switch up our plan to fit a new future that neither of us were expecting. As life continues to throw us curveball after curveball, I wonder if our love will be strong enough to weather the storm. Or will the mistakes and choices we make be too much to come back from…
I leave her house, but I don’t get on a plane. I go to my parents and sleep in my bed the entire day with my phone turned all the way up in my hand. If there is a chance, she changes her mind, I want to be here.
I tell myself if she doesn’t call that I will leave the next morning. It’s a lie.
Knox comes over that morning, and we talk. He tells me that I should go if she doesn’t want me here. That way I can come back when she does. The team isn’t going to let me stay gone for too long, and the press is getting antsy.
He books me a flight that leaves tonight. I try calling Charlotte four times, hoping she will ask me to stay. She doesn’t even answer. I call her dad and let him know. He says it is probably for the best.
That night, I board the plane, leaving my broken heart here with her.
S. Herrera developed a love for books early in life, reading anything she could get her hands on. Since then, her love grew to include a passion for writing her own stories. Growing up in small town America and marrying her high school sweetheart helped give her some inspiration to pen her first series, Always, Maybe, Never, starting with Always My Girl. Maybe My Girl and Never My Girl will be released in early to mid-2021.
S. currently resides in Oregon with her husband, two daughters, and three dogs. After a typical day of wrangling kids, folding laundry and making dinner, you can usually find her reading or writing with a strong cup of tea or the occasional glass of whiskey because sometimes life just calls for something stronger.

With Emily starting college, she figures it’s the perfect time to break out of her shell and have a new beginning. She doesn’t expect that in rewriting her story, it would include a love triangle.
First she meets Julian. She can’t help but notice his shirts with quotes on them, that match his quirky personality, his crooked smile and ruffled hair. He understands her in ways few others do. That’s what makes her afraid to let him get too close.
Then she meets Will. He’s from a different world, different crowd. When he goes out of his way to show her just how well she fits in his life, she finds herself getting swept up all too easily. Sometimes though, opposites really shouldn’t attract.
Girl meets boys and soon the choice isn’t which one of them is better, but who she’s better with.
Ari Reavis is a wife and mother of six. Born in New York and raised in New Jersey, she enjoys staying in, devouring books and watching movies. Her kids are running around, her husband is trying to show her martial arts moves, and she’s trying to write. Her day in a nutshell.

Micaela
Once upon a time, a boy and a girl met and fell in love…
That’s the way my love story began, but unlike the fairy tale, it ended with me standing in the cemetery, watching my prince get lowered into the ground, along with all our dreams.
Now he’s gone and I’m lost.
Until an impromptu trip to my family’s beach house has me spending time with Ryan.
With his help, I’m learning to live again and make plans for the future.
The only problem is, we both know they can’t include him.
So, when our time is up, we do the only thing we can do—go our separate ways.
Ryan
My entire life, I’ve felt like the waves in a raging sea—crashing and breaking, never settling.
Until Micaela stormed in like a hurricane, colliding into my life and my heart.
I thought she’d be my destruction, but instead she turned out to be my calm.
The more time we spend together, the more life she breathes into both of us.
But all too quickly, our time is up and she’s ready to face her future—one I can’t be a part of.
So, I do the impossible and walk away.
But life is crazy, and love knows no bounds. You might’ve thought this is where our story ends, but the truth is… it’s only the beginning.
