MAKE IT LAST (#1)
Released: November 2012
32K Words
In a small town, itā€™s hard to recover from being dumped by your high school sweetheart. Thatā€™s just what Briana has to do after Colin leaves her to follow his dreams. She focuses her energy into her friendships and the pursuit of her own goal of becoming a chef. Just when she finally feels like sheā€™s on the right path, he comes back to town.
Colin knew breaking up with Briana before leaving for college was the right thing to do. He was determined to leave small-town life behind forever, and that included his high school girlfriend. But when a sports injury puts him on the sidelines, heā€™s forced to return home. Seeing Briana again brings back a lot of memories, and Colin wonders if he made the right decision. It doesnā€™t take long for him to realize he wants her back, and this time, he wants to make it last.


I CHOOSE YOU (#2)
Released: December 2012

35K Words
Up until now, Nicoleā€™s life has been mapped out for her. Sheā€™d go to college, marry Jake and become the upstanding ministerā€™s wife. When she leaves that life to begin again in a small town in Texas, she finally has the freedom to live as she chooses. There, she meets Kent, a guy whose charm and passion make it hard to stick to her morals.
Dodging his fatherā€™s fists and protecting his twin sister made Kent into the man he is today. He learned by watching his mother stay by his fatherā€™s side that itā€™s better to keep relationships simple. Then he meets Nicole. Her sweet smile and genuine response to him land like punches to his resolve. After a lifetime of learning to protect his heart, can he finally let down his guard?


TRUST IN ME (#3)

Released: February 2013
36K Words
Roniā€™s dreams of becoming a contemporary dancer were smashed under the brutal rage of her ex-husbandā€™s fists. Getting divorced and starting over at the age of twenty-two was never her plan, but maybe in Texas, sheā€™ll find her path. When the townā€™s local player, Rich, opens a Rec Center, she sees a way to rekindle her dancing dreamsā€¦and maybe have a little fun with her sexy new boss.
Rich never expected to fulfill his dreams in the town he planned to leave behind, but thatā€™s just what heā€™s doing. His reputation as a noncommittal ladiesā€™ man might make it challenging to earn respect in the business world, but heā€™s willing to prove that heā€™s serious. In fact, when it comes to pursuing Roni, heā€™s more than willing. But sheā€™s taking a page out of his book, not wanting to risk another relationship. Can he convince her that his playboy days are over and that she can trust him with her heart?

Excerpt 1:  Bree, Colin, and Kent
ā€œLooks like youā€™re on break,ā€ he replied. ā€œCā€™mon, Bree, just give me a couple minutes.ā€
She was about to tell him to shove it, when she felt someone come up behind her and two strong arms wrapped around her.
ā€œHey, Babe, Iā€™ve been wondering if Pam was ever gonna give you a break.ā€ Kent whispered in her ear
He said it loud enough for Colin to hear, and Briana noticed him stiffen at Kentā€™s words and his obvious familiarity.
ā€œYeah, Iā€™ve got a quick one.ā€ Briana turned and gave him a grateful look, before going up on her tip toes to meet him for a brief kiss.
She thought she heard a grunt or something come from Colin, so she turned to give him a smile and an introduction.
ā€œOh, sorry,ā€ she said, though she wasnā€™t in the least. ā€œKent, this is Colin. We went to high school together. Colin, this is Kent.ā€
ā€œWhatā€™s up, man?ā€ Kent asked, extending his hand for a shake.
Colin looked at the offered hand, then back at Kent who may have been an inch shorter than him and shook it.
ā€œNot much. You must be new around here.ā€ Colin said.

"Clockwork Prince" (The Infernal Devices Book 2) ~ Cassandra Clare

Let's take a moment to drool over, I mean, appreciate the pretty cover, shall we? *sighs* Once again, Cassandra Clare has managed to suck me into her colorful story of adventure, intrigue, love, romance and excruciating heartbreak.  *clutches chest*  Normally, I blast through books in a few hours, but I purposely took my time with this one because I wanted to savor every minute with Will, Jem and Tessa but HOLY CUPCAKE!!  Could you find another way to rip my heart out, do a "stomp the yard" dance on it and throw it back at me with demon pox all over it?!  *clutches chest*  How anyone with a heart can NOT be "Team Will" after this book, I'll never understand but if they aren't, then I say, in the words of giddy Will, "A demonpox on all your houses!" OK, so that's a tad harsh but still. "Clockwork Prince" picks up right where "Clockwork Angel" leaves off, with Tessa still trying to discover who she is and what Mortma...
