The New Squirrel On The Block

A FAMILY BUILT ON LIES.

Looking out at my dead wife’s family in the pews, I know I’m meant to read the eulogy that’s tucked into my pocket. The one that tells a story of the life I built with my wonderful wife before she was tragically killed in a hit-and-run.

But I decide to tell the truth. ‘I was married to two women. One I knew. And one I didn’t.’ Shocked murmurs echo around the church.

‘My wife left me a letter. She told me to destroy it once I’d read it and not reveal its contents to anyone.’

I grip the pulpit, my knuckles white. I see our two beautiful children sitting with their grandparents. ‘You might think me disloyal for going against Tara’s wishes, but I’ve decided to share this letter anyway.’

‘Starting with lie number one.’

EVERYTHING YOU THINK YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS FAMILY IS ABOUT TO BE TURNED UPSIDE DOWN.

The woman I spent one hot night with ends up being my boss’s daughter, and if I want to keep my job, I won’t touch her again.

I work with my two brothers on Hawthorne Guest Ranch. We do the behind-the-scenes stuff with the real ranch and have strict orders to stay away from the guests, the staff, and especially the boss’s daughters. I do what I’m told, but when a woman comes into the bar and says she’s passing through, well… I give her a night to remember and try not to think about how I’d like to see her again.

I do see her again. The very next day, when she’s introduced not only as Jamison Hawthorne, but our newest staff member.

I try to stay away from her, but she has a way of making a guy want more. Only I don’t have more to give her. All that’s in my name is an old mine some whiskey CEO wants to turn into his next distillery. Yet if I keep sneaking around with Jamison, I’ll lose my job and get my brothers fired too. So it’s up to me to figure out how to be more for Jamison than some whiskey cowboy.

From the author of THE FOUNTAIN and ANNIE’S APPLE comes a story that spans decades of conflict and change.

As World War I rages in Europe, the Carpenters and the Lees make a home in Southern California. Bill and Cassie add to their family. Andy and Annie start one of their own. Paul, a bachelor, enters the world of business. All find peace in a turbulent time. Then draft notices arrive, illness strikes a child, and life for two intertwined families takes a troubling turn.

Years later, Emilie Perot, a beautiful resistance fighter, and Steve and Shannon Taylor, an American couple with ties to Paul Carpenter, conspire to escape Nazi occupation. Each seeks freedom and a new life in France’s Vosges Mountains, home of a legendary fountain of youth that can restore health and send visitors through time.

As events unfold in the different eras, the participants march on. All are unaware of the forces that seem determined to throw them together.

In DUTIES AND DREAMS, the epic conclusion of the Second Chance trilogy, several young adults find love, heartbreak, and redemption in a world of war, pandemics, and social unrest.

When shelter director Liv Barnes discovers a dead body, she’ll need help from a champion poodle to fetch the killer!

Middle-aged animal lover Olivia “Liv” Barnes has her hands full running the struggling Second Chance Animal Shelter in the charming town of Maple Ridge. With a leaky roof, dwindling donations, and kennels full of hopeful dogs, the last thing she needs is a murder on shelter property.

But that’s exactly what she gets when wealthy local businessman Douglas Whitman — the shelter’s most generous supporter — is found strangled with a luxury dog leash in the storage shed. Worse yet, his champion poodle, Sir Barksalot, witnessed the whole thing and refuses to leave Liv’s side.

As Liv temporarily adopts the traumatized canine, she discovers Douglas was about to donate valuable land to expand the shelter. But with Douglas dead and his property in limbo, greedy developers and corrupt officials circle like vultures.

When the evidence leads to the town’s most powerful citizens, Liv realizes she might be next on the killer’s list. With help from her shelter assistant, a gossipy elderly volunteer, a handsome sheriff, and one very perceptive poodle, Liv must solve the murder before the killer strikes again.

Will Liv and her four-legged detective companion uncover the truth in time to save the shelter? And will Sir Barksalot’s keen nose for deception help Liv sniff out a killer hiding in plain sight?

Bones is more than the President of the Devil’s Nightmares.
He’s the King of Nightmares.
And his only concern is running his town
and the MC with his favorite blade in his hand.
Nothing gets through his cold soul,
and nothing brings warmth to his dead eyes.
Until he sees the woman with the blood-red hair being held down,
forced to endure hands she doesn’t want on her, with tears in her eyes.

As soon as he looks down at the woman with the scars covering her body,
a macabre smile on her gorgeous face put there by somebody else’s cruel knife,
he knows she has woken something inside of him he’ll never be able to put back to sleep.
She brings Jack back to life.

He saves Sally, but her demons run as deep as his,
and he finds that hers are still alive and want her back.
He will do anything to end the Doctor that is a threat to her life.
But the Boogeymen step in before he can ensure her safety.
Ending the threat will take his entire club of Nightmares,
and several might be lost before the dangerous game is over.
