The End

 

 

 

 

 

Just kidding…

MORE Epilogue!

 

 

Grayson and I traveled to Paris for our honeymoon. We spent three days in a hotel near the Eiffel Tower and each afternoon, we walked the entire perimeter of the monument. There was a bench I used to sit on every day—where I’d once dreamed about Grayson coming to find me in Paris. I showed him the bench and we sat there each day, talking and people watching. On our final day, Grayson sneakily carved our initials into the wood. He told me it was so I could always have a little piece of myself in the City of Light.

 

Brooklyn and Jason had a baby girl named Jillian and I, of course, purchased an infant sized guitar as a joke. But who are we kidding? That baby is learning to play guitar before she walks.

 

My park project took two years to build and once it was complete, the entire city was invited to the grand opening. Food vendors lined up along the basketball courts, and a local cinema set up an outdoor screening that started just as the sun set. It was exactly what I’d envisioned.

 

Grayson scaled back his business after we found out I was pregnant with our first child. I thought it’d be hard for him to do—after all, Cole Designs was his first love—but he was actually the one to suggest the change. He passed on most of his large-scale industrial jobs to other firms in the area, and he and I turned into a design duo. Along with a few interns, an assistant, and an office manager, Grayson and I tackle three to four high-end residential projects a year. Our very first project was our own house—which needed a nursery and a room for our son, Caiden, by the time we finally moved in.

 

Life moves fast these days, but I haven’t felt that itch to pack up and leave in years—not like I used to—but why would I? Everything I could ever want is under one roof, waiting for me at the end of each day.

The Duet

Adult Romance

 

When 27-year-old pop sensation Brooklyn Heart steps in front of a microphone, her love songs enchant audiences worldwide. But when it comes to her own love life, the only spell she’s under is a dry one. 
 

So when her label slots her for a Grammy performance with the sexy and soulful Jason Monroe, she can’t help but entertain certain fantasies... those in which her G-string gets more play than her guitars'.
 

Only one problem. Jason is a lyrical lone wolf that isn’t happy about sharing the stage—nor his ranch — with the sassy singer. But while it may seem like a song entitled ‘Jason Monroe Is an Arrogant Ho’ basically writes itself, their label and their millions of fans are expecting recording gold…

Scoring Wilder

USA TODAY BEST-SELLER

New Adult Sports Romance

 

What started out as a joke--seduce Coach Wilder--soon became a goal she had to score.

With Olympic tryouts on the horizon, the last thing nineteen-year-old Kinsley Bryant needs to add to her plate is Liam Wilder. He's a professional soccer player, America's favorite bad-boy, and has all the qualities of a skilled panty-dropper.

* A face that makes girls weep - check.

* Abs that can shred Parmesan cheese (the expensive kind) - check.

* Enough confidence to shift the earth's gravitational pull - double check.

Not to mention Liam is strictly off limits. Forbidden. Her coaches have made that perfectly clear. (i.e. "Score with Coach Wilder anywhere other than the field and you'll be cut from the team faster than you can count his tattoos.") But that just makes him all the more enticing...Besides, Kinsley's already counted the visible ones, and she is not one to leave a project unfinished.

Kinsley tries to play the game her way as they navigate through forbidden territory, but Liam is determined to teach her a whole new definition for the term "team bonding."

With This Heart

New Adult Romance

 

If someone had told me a year ago that I was about to fall in love, go on an epic road trip, ride a Triceratops, sing on a bar, and lose my virginity, I would have assumed they were on drugs. 

Well, that is, until I met Beckham. 

Beck was mostly to blame for my recklessness. Gorgeous, clever, undeniably charming Beck barreled into my life as if it were his mission to make sure I never took living for granted. He showed me that there were no boundaries, rules were for the spineless, and a kiss was supposed to happen when I least expected. 

Beck was the plot twist that took me by surprise. Two months before I met him, death was knocking at my door. I’d all but given up my last scrap of hope when suddenly I was given a second chance at life. This time around, I wasn’t going to let it slip through my fingers. 

We set out on a road trip with nothing to lose and no guarantees of tomorrow. 

Our road trip was about young, reckless love. The kind of love that burns bright. 

The kind of love that no road-map could bring me back from.
