Callie Scott works tirelessly to help her patients as an emergency room physician, and just as tirelessly to try and please her uptight, conservative parents.

The only thing powerful enough to make her question her reluctant obedience is the love of a man who will help her see that she deserves to be happy on her own terms. Jake Evans has one goal: To open a brew pub in honor of his late grandfather. Falling for the gorgeous doctor who stitches up his arm after a renovation accident is not part of his plan. But when their paths keep crossing, he realizes letting love in might be the best decision he'll ever make. Their relationship will put everything on the line for Callie, as she has to choose between the only family she's ever known, and the future Jake promises her. Read the debut novel reviewers say is "Everything I want in a contemporary romance" and "An insta-love story done right."
Reunited by the unexpected death of their family matriarch in the spring of 1994 New York, the Cole family struggles for privacy and stability in the wake of local scandals, a love triangle, and a 1960s sexual self-help book that reveals shattering secrets.
It’s no big town secret that Professor Callie Prescott’s passion for mythology is rivaled only by her dedication to her younger sisters, and her love of meticulous order. But after her father’s passing and her mother’s recent health scare, her sisters decide that control-loving Callie needs to stop worrying so much about them and start focusing on having a life—namely, a love life—with less structure, and (way) more fun. Enter Hollywood action star Jake Ryan. After leaving Bliss Cove in his rearview a decade ago (for good reason), Jake isn’t thrilled to have to lay low in his hometown while a scandal trashes his life. But when the forced trip down memory lane leads him back to Callie—former valedictorian extraordinaire—still overachieving her butt off, Jake wants nothing more than to teach the prim and proper professor how to live a little…until all the trouble chasing him starts threatening more than just his career. *This book was previously published under the title And I Love Her — same swoony, emotional small town romance, just with a fresh new title and cover. * * * * * Heart-grabbing small town love stories with uniquely imperfect couples and hard-fought ever afters.

Want something? Pax will take it from you. Love something? Pax will destroy it. Love him? Heaven help you. You'd have to be the stupidest person to walk the face of the earth. PAX I don't do complicated. I sure as hell don't do love. With graduation in sight, I've made it almost four years at Wolf Hall without getting tangled up in BS with girls. I especially want nothing to do with her: Presley. Maria. Witton. Chase. The timid little mouse with the red hair, who can't even look my way without hyperventilating. She's nothing to me. Beautiful, sure, but I've had plenty of beautiful women. I'm perfectly content ignoring her... ...until her life is suddenly in my hands. PRES I've loved him from the moment I laid eyes on him. The cruel, inked anarchist of Riot House. He's wicked, and he's cold, and there's nothing good left in him. I fear him almost as much as I crave him. With only a few weeks left until graduation, all I have to do is keep my head down, and then I'll be free; I can leave Mountain Lakes and my obsession with Pax Davis in my rearview mirror. But the demons I've been hiding for years now are growing restless... ...and Pax is thing that will keep them at bay. This is not an act of kindness. Not an act of love. Not an act of forgiveness. You'll find no redemption here. This is the final riot. ACT ACCORDINGLY. RIOT ACT is a 137,000-word standalone book in the Crooked Sinners Series and does not end on a cliffhanger.

Harvey's sexy, explosive debut novel is set in the heart of Texas where four very attractive, ambitious students are looking for love and top honors at a highly competitive law school.
Most agree that the universal cry of every human heart is Love. What if that hunger has its origin in our Creator? What if that need has been programmed into our spiritual DNA? What if God is the Love we yearn for? What if a relationship with Him is the key to our deep-seated longing? What if intimacy with Him is a clue to our passionate desires? What if we are not only loved, but treasured? Would such knowledge make a difference? Callie, David and Jesse encounter those questions in their personal searches for love and intimacy. Will the culture of their day, the cries of their own flesh and the frustrations of living in a less than perfect world blind them to the treasures hidden in surprising places. Or will they discover the truth of Solomon 6:3? I am my Beloveds and my Beloved is mine. Though each journey is different, ultimately they individually face the same choice. And their responses make all the difference.
Doctor Heidi Morgan is off limits. She’s the definition of forbidden and I hate that I want her anyway. I may be forced to see my new resident each day at the hospital where we work, but I won’t be forced into feeling something for the woman who is an unwelcome reminder of the worst day of my life. Heidi gets under my skin, testing the limits of my patience and my control. WIth our past, it should be easy to push her away; to convince myself not to trust her. It definitely should not be so hard to resist the attraction I’ve ignored for so long, especially since I’m her boss. Only restraint is never easy. Her brilliant mind, compassionate heart and seductively sweet smile that keep me up at night with thoughts I really shouldn’t be having about someone who works for me, let alone someone I have every reason to hate. Yet with every word we exchange, every touch we share, the fire she’s ignited in me is shifting from frustration into something else. Something far more risky. It’s starting to feel like a matter of time before I lose control and let her into my heart. I just have to find a way not to lose myself at the same time. Hate To Want You is perfect for fans of enemies to lovers, medical settings - with only one bed, forbidden romance, strong willed heroines and heroes who know when to admit they’re wrong.

It is a standalone, and the second full length novel in the Donnellys of Dogwood Cove series. Please note this book does contain scenes involving pediatric illness and death in a hospital setting.
LUKE PARKER WAS BACK IN TOWN… The news ripped through Main Street like a midsummer tornado. But Callie Magruder didn’t need the local gossip mill to tell her so. She’d felt he was coming. After all, she’d always had a sixth sense when it came to Luke—or maybe it was no sense. Luke was the town’s Golden Boy, son of her family’s nemesis…and her forbidden first love. And now he was returning with a proposition: marriage! Only, Callie had a ten-year-old secret, one that shared his father’s devastating smile….
Raising My Rainbow is Lori Duron’s frank, heartfelt, and brutally funny account of her and her family's adventures of distress and happiness raising a gender-creative son. Whereas her older son, Chase, is a Lego-loving, sports-playing boy's boy, Lori's younger son, C.J., would much rather twirl around in a pink sparkly tutu, with a Disney Princess in each hand while singing Lady Gaga's "Paparazzi." C.J. is gender variant or gender nonconforming, whichever you prefer. Whatever the term, Lori has a boy who likes girl stuff—really likes girl stuff. He floats on the gender-variation spectrum from super-macho-masculine on the left all the way to super-girly-feminine on the right. He's not all pink and not all blue. He's a muddled mess or a rainbow creation. Lori and her family choose to see the rainbow. Written in Lori's uniquely witty and warm voice and launched by her incredibly popular blog of the same name, Raising My Rainbow is the unforgettable story of her wonderful family as they navigate the often challenging but never dull privilege of raising a slightly effeminate, possibly gay, totally fabulous son. Now with Extra Libris material, including a reader’s guide and bonus content
