Coming Soon

Carlisle Creek #1

Title TBD

Maya Parker has come a long way since the days of living in her car and listening to recordings of Alan Rickman’s delicious voice to drown out the noises of the street surrounding her. Between her job as manager of Bishop’s Books, running a Naughty Book Club full of the senior citizens of Carlisle Creek, and taking care of Nana Bishop, the bookstore’s owner and her neighbour, she has her hands full. Add to that cleaning up after Harold, the huge, grumpy shop cat she adopted who enjoys leaving mountains of dead mice by the back door, and she doesn’t have a lot of spare time.There is one thing thing she’ll make time for, though: telling Nana’s good-for-nothing grandson exactly what she thinks of him if he ever gets his butt back to Carlisle Creek to visit his elderly Nana. If there’s one thing she can’t stand, it’s people who turn their backs on family.When Liam Bishop finally makes it to Carlisle Creek after working night and day for the last three years to repay pay his debts, he’s surprised to find an attractive young woman working in the bookstore in place of his Nana. He knew his Nana was getting a little older, but the idea that she’d ever stop working in the store is crazy to him. That his Nana hired this woman and she’s been running the store, and making changes, for years and he had no idea? Well, let’s just say it’s a good thing the verbal tongue lashing he got from Maya when he walked in served to make him interested rather than remorseful. Because he feels guilty enough on his own, and he’s determined to make it right.And if he gets to know Maya better in the process, well that’s alright too.

Tit Me With Your Best Shot

from the shared world of Tuft Swallow

Nick “Odd Duck” D’Onofrio is a thirty-eight-year-old retired, undefeated MMA fighter with four goals: open a gym in his hometown of Tuft Swallow, learn to play cornhole without embarrassing himself, amass the largest collection of rubber ducks the world has ever seen, and start a family. The first three are coming along nicely. It’s the last one he’s having a hard time with. No matter what he does, he just can’t seem to find “the one”.At least, he couldn’t–until he ran into the woman of his dreams. Literally. He slammed right into her in the middle of his morning jog, and it was pretty much love at first sight. For him, anyway.Tina Falcone has never wanted the responsibility that comes with a family of her own. For Tina, the key to happiness lies in running her own pizza place, listening to true crime podcasts, creating miniature cemeteries out of thrifted pottery, and staying single. No man-child husband or crapping babies needed, thank you very much. She doesn’t even mind that she’s bucking years of Falcone family tradition to live her life this way. (Just don’t tell her meddling mother that.)So what happens when one Odd Duck seems intent on breaking Tina’s spinster-streak? She has to admit, something about his giant grin, huge muscles, squishy belly, and tiny running shorts intrigues her. And the rubber duck tramp-stamp? Well, she’d be lying if she said she wasn’t at least a little intrigued by that, too.When random men start showing up at Wings and Pizza saying they made dates with Tina on apps she insists she doesn’t even use, Nick worries his time is running out. Can he get his ducks in a row before it’s too late? Or will this be the first fight he ever loses, leaving Tina to think he’s just another ugly duckling?
