"Jessica and Troy's gripping story concludes with the third book of the Hidden Secrets Trilogy as passion and danger collide . . .
After everything she's been through over the past ten years, Jess should be focusing on her healing. She should be figuring out where her future will take her. And she should be finding herself after her abusive husband ripped away her identity.
Too bad someone else has different plans.
After a national newspaper article reveals to everyone in Maple Ridge about her past and her shame, Jess's life and plans are put in jeopardy. Prejudices in the town run strong against her—prejudices because of where she spent the last five years.
But it's not only her life that is at risk. Everything that matters to Troy, the man she's falling in love with, will be ruined . . . unless she finds a way to stop it all from crumbling before it's too late.
Stop it before the truth destroys Jess and all that she loves . . .

"Jessica and Troy's exciting story continues in the second book of the Hidden Secrets Trilogy as passion and danger collide . . .
Despite Jess's initial reluctance to get involved with ex-Marine Troy Carson, her friendship with him is growing to be something more. But love cannot exist without trust, and trust is something she can't afford—not when she needs to cling to the secrets of her past.
Not when she's hoping to be part of her daughter's life again. Too much is at stake if the truth gets out.
As Jess tries to put the pieces of her life back together after being wrongfully imprisoned for the death of her abusive husband, she recognizes her past life in a new friend. Refusing to let history repeat itself, Jess is determined to get her friend away from the man who is abusing her.
But in doing so, Jess's past is at risk of being revealed, costing her everything she holds dear: Troy. Her daughter. Her life . . .

"After being wrongfully imprisoned for the death of my abusive husband, all I want is to start a new life where no one knows me and my heart isn't at risk of making the same mistakes again . . .
After being wrongfully imprisoned for the death of her abusive husband, all Jessica Smithson wants is to start a new life where no one knows her true identity. Maple Ridge is the perfect place to hide from the media circus battling to know who really rid her of the man. A question she can't answer.
The last thing she expects to find in the small idyllic mountain town is the good-looking and very persistent Troy Carson. From the moment he sees her, the ex-Marine is determined to help Jess with her anxiety attacks and to get to know her better. He's determined to help her renovate the old house she bought—a house with secrets hidden behind the walls.
Heat simmers and grows between the pair, but Jess can't risk getting too close to Troy. Can't risk her own secrets being revealed.
So much is at stake if the truth gets out.

"All's fair in love and war . . . until you set up the man you love with another woman.
The realization that you've fallen for your best friend is, for me, pretty scary.
It's not that Reid is all the way in the stratosphere out of my league, it's more like I want to get it together so I'm not the one who feels so inadequate.
But when I take ten steps forward, I'm shoved twenty steps back and left wondering if we'd be a good match in the end. And I want the best for my friend . . . even if that means it's not me.
Yet the thought of him with anyone else makes me crazy and I want to run screaming into the Blue Ridge Mountains. The thing is, if I don't get over myself I'm probably going to not only lose my best friend, but my chance at true love . . ."
"Once upon a time, there were two Rhythm Gods: one of brilliance and one of darkness. But there was much more to the realms than the two gods alone could provide, so the Maker created a third, unknowingly unbalancing the Rhythm and setting the realms on a path of suffering.
The God of War has stolen that which I hold dearest. Though I am reunited with my beloved gods, a hole remains and my heart is in shambles. Together we must look to the past to preserve the future, for if we cannot restore the Rhythm, the realms will crumble.
Contains mature themes."
"My brother's best friend needs me to be his wife. I might be the only person who can save him. Or I might be the one person who tears him apart . . .
Lucas Carson was her brother's best friend. The man Simone sent letters to while he served in the Marines. The man she fell in love with.
But while he was deployed, Simone's world caved in on her. She stopped sending him letters and stayed away from their hometown, too broken to return. Too broken to risk seeing him again . . . until a hit-and-run has her rushing back to their small town.
And now, Lucas needs her help. He needs Simone to be his wife. He's gotten himself into trouble, and someone wants to take him down. Neither of them expects their old sparks to reignite or for things to be even better, hotter, between them.
Except, secrets can't stay buried forever, and the truth about the past might be the thing that tears them apart forever . . .
One More Chance is a small-town, standalone romance and is the first novel in the Carson Brothers series.

"Abruptly taken from her normal existence on the eve of her eighteenth birthday, Ismini Harrovnian is thrust into a reality where dimensions beyond her wildest dreams intertwine, and where gods reign with both power and anguish.
An ancient promise binds her fate—a promise made by Dyletri, the God of Lust, who lost the woman he loved. In his grief-fueled desperation, he agreed to sacrifice Ismini in the distant future.
As Ismini grapples with her new reality, she is confronted by a shocking revelation—she carries a mysterious illness. But what she believes to be a rare ailment is something far more deadly. She is mated to none other than Dyletri, the very deity who plans to end her life to reunite with his lost love.
Dyletri, once resolute in his determination to fulfill his promise, begins to show signs of the same illness that grips Ismini. As the lines between captor and captive blur, they find themselves united by a bond that defies reason and challenges the very fabric of their worlds.
Can they overcome the barriers of their circumstances and find a way to thwart the impending sacrifice? Or will their burgeoning love lead them down a path of devastation?
Contains mature themes."
"Tomorrow is as ugly as it is beautiful.
I've suffered for six months at Violet's hand. She's been collecting my blood and keeping it in her dungeon. She demands to know where Lucius is, but there's one problem: I'm not Talia and I have no idea where Lucius is.
Things are changing. She's assigned me a new guard, and as much as we don't get along, we're drawn to one another. Together we're uncovering secrets that will help save the Rhythm, and hopefully our friends too.
I'll need all of my male gods—all our wishes and hearts.
Break the bond. Find Lucius. Restore the Rhythm.

"My sin . . . My addiction . . .
Before Samson McShane, I was merely Sable Cole, the oldest daughter of our town's druggie. Multiple eyes were on me, watching my every action—waiting for me to mess up.
When I met Samson, we couldn't be more different yet he became my escape. He took me out of the protective shell I created for myself and showed me what it meant to be free.
Our lives would drift apart.
I saw him, clashed with him, and loved him sixteen times.
My past should have shown me the error in loving him. It never did.
Samson McShane was my sin and my addiction. He was my sixteenth need."
"Bravery isn't what you do. It's what you endure.
The duke of the powerful House Hauteclare is the first to die. With my dagger in his back.
He didn't see it coming. Didn't anticipate the bastard daughter who was supposed to die with her mother—on his order. He should have left us with the rest of the Station's starving, commoner rubbish.
Now there's nothing left. Just icy-white rage and a need to make House Hauteclare pay. Every damn one of them. Even if it means riding Heavenbreaker—one of the few enormous machines left over from the War—and jousting against the fiercest nobles in the system.
Each win means another one of my enemies dies. And here, in the cold terror of space, the machine and I move as one, intent on destroying each adversary—even if it's someone I care about. Even if it's someone I'm falling for.
Only I'm not alone. Not anymore. Because there's something in the machine with me. Something horrifying. Something . . . more. And it won't be stopped.
Contains mature themes."
