I don't date my students' fathers. I don't date my students' fathers. I don't date... Sage I've loved teaching at Red River Elementary for the last six years, and I've had my fair share of single dads ask me out. But even though there's technically no rule against it, I've always declined. Things like that could get messy, especially in a small town where everyone knew everyone else's business. Enter Chase Perry-a single dad who was not only my best friend's brother-in-law, but father to my newest student. He was everything I found attractive in another human being-funny, kind, generous, an amazing father, and smoking hot. I found myself crushing, hard, but there was nothing I could do about it. Because if I let myself go there and people found out, it could ruin my reputation and call my ethics into question. It just wasn't worth it...was it? Chase I couldn't believe it when I got called in for a parent-teacher conference less than a week after my third grader started at his new school. Apparently, he had a crush on a classmate, and things got ugly when he tried to show her how he felt. But he wasn't the only one with a crush. I wanted Sage Barlow the moment I laid eyes on her. She was convinced any relationship between us would cause problems for her and Daniel. But I refused to give up. I could persuade her to date me in secret. What the good folks of Red River didn't know couldn't hurt them. Or us. Right? This is a standalone romance with lots of spice and snarky humor. It is book two in a series of standalones featuring four hot brothers finding love in a small town. HEA guaranteed!

I thought I had it all figured out. I had a great plan. A great job. A great life... Yeah. That didn't work out so well... Dakota I thought quitting my job as a bartender to focus on my new job as a realtor was a good choice. And for a few months, it was. But the success I was enjoying disappeared, and now I was broke and late on my rent...for the third month in a row. When I tried to get an extension on my rent payment, my sleazebag building manager tried to give me his extension instead. Gross. Luckily, my friends came to my rescue-I'd stay at the empty ranch they owned until it sold, and I earned the commission that would help me get back on my feet. I didn't want charity, but I also knew when to accept the help I so desperately needed. It was only for a few weeks, then I'd get my life back under control. Right? Noah With my brothers moving out and starting to put down roots in Red River, I felt like I was floundering. Living alone in this rental house was making me squirrelly, like I needed to make a change to get my life back on solid ground. Just when I'd decided to stay where I was until I found the perfect home, the floor fell out from beneath me-my lease was up and would not be renewed. I had to move out. The ranch home I owned with my brothers was the perfect solution-newly renovated, lots of space, and best of all, empty. At least, it was supposed to be. Imagine my surprise when a squatter cracked me over the head the minute I walked in. A beautiful, feisty squatter with whom I had some unfinished business... This was going to be so much fun. This is a standalone romance with lots of spice and snarky humor. It is book three in a series of standalones featuring four hot brothers finding love in a small town. HEA guaranteed!

Winner, TopShelf Magazine Book Awards Historical Non-fiction Finalist, Northern California Book Awards General Non-Fiction Look. Smell. Taste. Judge. Crush is the 200-year story of the heady dream that wines as good as the greatest of France could be made in California. A dream dashed four times in merciless succession until it was ultimately realized in a stunning blind tasting in Paris. In that tasting, in the year of America's bicentennial, California wines took their place as the leading wines of the world. For the first time, Briscoe tells the complete and dramatic story of the ascendancy of California wine in vivid detail. He also profiles the larger story of California itself by looking at it from an entirely innovative perspective, the state seen through its singular wine history. With dramatic flair and verve, Briscoe not only recounts the history of wine and winemaking in California, he encompasses a multidimensional approach that takes into account an array of social, political, cultural, legal, and winemaking sources. Elements of this history have plot lines that seem scripted by a Sophocles, or Shakespeare. It is a fusion of wine, personal histories, cultural, and socioeconomic aspects. Crush is the story of how wine from California finally gained its global due. Briscoe recounts wine’s often fickle affair with California, now several centuries old, from the first harvest and vintage, through the four overwhelming catastrophes, to its amazing triumph in Paris.
