The Ex Effect: A completely addictive lesbian romance

"Morgan Rose has always been the girl with the plan. Color-coded calendars, backup plans for her backup plans, and a wedding business that’s her entire world. Only one woman ever managed to derail Morgan’s organized life and shatter her heart in the process. But Morgan doesn’t think about Frankie Lee anymore. Until Morgan meets the photographer hand-picked by her latest clients and discovers that Frankie is not miles away in New York like she thought. She's back in Spring Harbors, looking infuriatingly good, and Morgan's carefully ordered world descends into chaos. Morgan has just 87 days to pull off the wedding of her career, and she’s not going to let Frankie derail this opportunity. She will not be distracted by Frankie’s new haircut or the shadowy dips between her shoulders and biceps. And she won’t care about Frankie’s unfairly salty attitude when she left Morgan. But some sparks never die, and as the wedding approaches and the tension between Morgan and Frankie grows, can they face up to the mistakes that pulled them apart, or risk it happening all over again? A perfectly spiced romance about learning that the best love stories are worth fighting for… twice. The next unputdownable read for fans of Ashley Herring Blake, Alexandria Bellefleur, and Haley Cass.

In Walked Trouble: A completely unputdownable enemies-to-lovers LGBTQ+ romance

"In this heated rivalry, will love be the final result? After checking her salty attitude and grinding for years, Remi James has worked her way up to become star bartender at an upscale Seattle bar. She’s finally on track for the promotion (and the home loan approval) of her dreams—until Maya Marek walks in. Suddenly, Remi has competition. Willowy, blonde, infuriatingly talented competition… The last thing friendly, cheerful Maya expects on her first day is to clash so spectacularly with the prickly senior bartender—or to find herself inexplicably drawn to the feisty woman. But she needs this paycheck to afford grad school, and no amount of snarky comments, pouty lips, and to-die-for curves will get in her way. Remi and Maya are rivals. That’s why they’re so aware of each other in the tight space behind the bar, and in the walk-in refrigerator… right? But when family emergencies and painful pasts come to light, they're forced to see each other in a new way. When the line between rivalry and romance begins to blur, can Remi and Maya dare to sacrifice their dreams to reach for something new?
