Advice of Counsel (The Samuel Collins Series Book 1) (affiliate link)
Meet Samuel Collins. Unsociable and aloof, the young attorney moves to the tranquil community of Hollywood Park, Texas, wanting nothing more than to be left alone by his neighbors. But between the 4-year-old kid from next door and the 80-year-old widow across the street, he quickly finds himself drowning in neighborhood hospitality. In no time, Samuel is representing neighbors on all sides in various legal matters, but when two of his neighbors hire him to revise their will to include one Landra Krally as a beneficiary, Sam smells a rat. He calls on his investigator friend to check her out, but when Samuel ends up dating the subject of his investigation, things get increasingly complicated. Samuel’s life – or death – may depend on the very neighbors he had hoped to ignore.
When two geeks meet at a comic con, pretending to date turns into more than a game.
Forty-year-old Sadie Baylor is fun, fit, and fabulous.
Okay, so two out of three.
Fine.
She’s forty and…fun. One out of three isn’t bad, right?
At least at the moment, but this is her year!
That’s, of course, once she shows her ex-boyfriend and business partner that she’s on her way back to the top. As soon as she accomplishes that, fit and fabulous will totally be within her grasp. Unfortunately, her first stop on the climb up, is at the Dallas Comic-Con and running into her scummy ex wasn’t part of the plan. Just fantastic. Just fantastic.
Xavier Parker has the worst friends in history. When a bet leads him to donning a beaver suit that’s had better days, he wasn’t thinking he’d run into Sadie Baylor—the captain of a 90’s all-girl’s pro video gaming team. He also didn’t think she’d be roping him into pretending to be her boyfriend.
The Duke’s Widow (Marriage and Duty 1) (affiliate link)
Josiah Elkins, the reluctant new Duke of Pembroke, has lived in the shadow of his older brother’s cruelty and greed. Now, with the title thrust upon him, he returns to Pembroke Manor, where duty compels him to confront the one woman he swore to forget Lady Martha, his brother’s widow and the only woman he has ever loved.
Scarred by an abusive marriage and burdened by society’s expectations, Martha has vowed never to let another man control her life. Yet Josiah’s quiet strength and steadfast kindness stir something she thought she had lost forever hope.
But the ghosts of the past linger in every shadow, and the weight of the present threatens to tear them apart. With scandal looming and unspoken truths between them. Will they fight for a love worth risking everything, or will fear drive them to let it slip away?
