Come home to love and discover the first three books of the steamy, heartfelt Emerald Creek Series: Never Let You Go (Book 1) The Promise Of You (Book 2) and Return to You (Book 3).

NEVER LET YOU GO
I’m just here to bake. He’s a single dad trying to stay sane. But the heat between us? Not part of the recipe.
All I had to do was complete a short baking apprenticeship, collect my inheritance, and walk away.
Instead, I got Christopher Wright—this small town’s gruff, gorgeous baker, a devoted father, and the one man determined to keep me at arm’s length.
Now I’m living under his roof, working in his kitchen, and sleeping too close to his bedroom. And every day, it gets harder to remember this is temporary.
Christopher doesn’t need distractions—especially not a city girl with perfect nails and a five-month expiry date. But I’m not just a distraction… I’m hiding something that could break us both.
Because this apprenticeship isn’t just about bread. It’s about legacy. And if he finds out who I am, I’ll lose the town I never meant to love, the little girl who calls me family… and the man who makes me dream of staying.
Never Let You Go is a steamy, slow-burn, small-town romance packed with emotional depth, found family, forbidden attraction, and a swoony single dad. First in the Emerald Creek series with a guaranteed happily-ever-after and no cliffhanger, it's perfect for fans of grumpy/sunshine, forced proximity, and heartfelt heat.

THE PROMISE OF YOU
We had a deal: one night, no names, no strings.
Chloe:
He was charming, attentive, and exactly what I needed for one unforgettable night.
Then I slipped out before sunrise, sure I’d never see him again.
Now I’m in Emerald Creek—a small town of charm, gossip, and zero anonymity—running my late uncle’s restaurant… the one right next door to his pub.
And Justin? He acts like my presence is an insult.
I don’t know what I did to make him hate me, but I don’t have time to figure it out. This job is all I have.
The only problem? It’s hard to ignore the sparks whenever we’re in the same room.
Justin:
She’s the one woman I let past my walls—and the one I can’t forgive.
Chloe doesn’t know what her uncle’s choices cost me. She shouldn’t even be here.
But now she’s running the restaurant next door, slipping into my hometown life like she belongs.
Even my dog likes her—which makes it worse.
Every time I see her, I’m torn between protecting my past and risking it.
The trouble is, I’m not sure I can resist her.
The Promise Of You is a steamy small-town romance with sizzling chemistry, slow-burn tension, found family, a matchmaking dog, and no third-act breakup. Book 2 in the Emerald Creek series, it can be read as a standalone.

RETURN TO YOU
Two broken hearts. Ten years apart. Can one small town bring them back together?
Ten years in the military might have changed me, but not the reasons I left Emerald Creek. Back in Vermont for a short visit after a decade away, I’ll do everything to keep my stay painless.
It will be short.
No trips down memory lane.
No reconnecting with locals.
One thing is certain: I won’t run into the girl who broke my heart. She’s long gone, married away.
Or so I thought.
All it takes is a pulled muscle, a massage tent at the town fair, and some not-so-subtle nudges from my friends for me to suddenly be alone with her—with me flat on my back and her kneading me like a stranger. Like what we had meant nothing.
She won’t even talk to me? Fine. I’m ready to bolt anyway.
But when the townies engineer another encounter and I find out what she’s hiding, it’s Operation Get Her Back.
Return To You is a swoony small-town romance packed with steamy moments, heartfelt connections, and a guaranteed happily-ever-after. The third standalone in the Emerald Creek series is a dual POV romance with all the feels—and no cliffhanger.
