I’m the most dangerous date in town. But what he doesn’t know can’t hurt him…right?
A 5 star review of the novel:“An enjoyable read and the first title I’ve read in this series. The plot of a mob daughter and a billionaire was interesting and well paced, especially with the dual point of view aspect. Frankie and Marco’s chemistry made for some steamy scenes. I look forward to reading more from this series.”

A fun cast of characters, a quirky small town Alaskan setting, the town’s favorite moose, and a swoony-romance with all the feels.
A 5-star review of the novel:“Very nice first book in a series. The characters are small town folks who make you wish you could be their neighbors. No violence and no malicious schemes — just day-to-day life and just what I needed in this often unpleasant world. Looking forward to reading more of this series.”

What if the past catches up with you just when you’re starting a new life?
The author on writing seasoned romances:“As a reader I have been discouraged by the lack of good romance novels about people older than 20 or 30. I wanted to show that even people on their 60’s can be romantic and have a great love story to tell. “

One fresh start. One unexpected encounter. Can love bridge the gap?
A review of the novel:“It was a joy to be transported to The Floating Amsterdam Flower Shop, and I adored every moment I spent with Rosie, Max and their blossoming community. I recommend this to anyone who wants to feel their heart lifted.”

The Bachelor meets The Property Brothers: Love, property, and construction. What could possibly go wrong?
Liam Ballard is good at buying houses, fixing them up with his brothers, and flipping them for a profit. When Felicia from the network shows up to offer them a reality show (the brothers renovate a house while one of them dates the buyer), the pay is too good to turn down. With it, they’ll finally be able to open the after-school program for at-risk youth to honor the man who raised them. But when the very LA-like Felicia decides she’ll be the buyer of the property (and his date), Liam wonders for the first time what set of keys he’ll want to pass over to her, and will one of them unlock his heart? The author on the inspiration for this novel:“I’ve figured out over the years there are two kinds of people: those who like reality TV and those who mock reality TV but watch it in private… There’s a secret about reality TV that no one talks about, though. Those shows can be good for the heart. Just like romance novels… Six seasons of America’s Next Top Model got me through my mother’s death… When I didn’t know how to help a friend when she was very low, I attempted to hook her on Project Runway… We all need escape sometimes from a life that while often very, very good, can be very, very hard. That escape doesn’t have to be mindless. It can be mindful… And I realized that I’d love to write a reality show series. So here’s the first in the Ballard Brothers series. It’sThe Property Brothers meets the Bachelor, set on the California coast in the town of Darling Bay. I fell in love with Liam while writing him, and so did Felicia, the network executive who ends up accidentally starring in her own show (oops!).”

She has one final wish before she puts a For Sale sign in front of the only home she’s ever known, but can her family make her dream come true?
Margaret Dane Clayton has spent her entire life at the Dane Crown Inn, the beautiful resort located in the quiet beachside town of Emerald Bay. But the inn once hailed as the “gem of Florida’s Treasure Coast” is showing its age, much like its fiercely independent owner. Margaret swears she’ll keep the doors of the inn open forever … until an accident forces her to accept the fact that she can no longer cater to guests on her own. After reaching the most difficult decision of her life, Margaret asks her daughter and nieces to grant her one final wish before she places the property on the market. But will these five women put their busy lives on hold to grant it? One by one, each of the cousins arrives in Emerald Bay with armloads of excuses and far too much baggage. But when the town’s grumpy—yet oh, so handsome—mayor threatens to close the inn for good, the women agree to give the resort the overhaul it desperately needs. Working with a bank account that’s far too small and facing one crisis after another, Margaret’s daughter and her nieces race to fulfill her final wish. Only one question remains: Can this fractured family set aside their differences long enough to restore the inn … and rebuild the closeness they once treasured? A five-star review of the novel:“This new series and its intriguing set of characters is going to be a nailbiter. There are so many things going on, and each character has his or her own challenges. The characters aren’t all likeable (most are), but I suspect we are going to love them all by the end of the series. It’s going to be so much fun seeing how Leigh “fixes” all of those difficulties and shows us the true character of each family member. The inn needs a lot of work, and I suspect we are going to see a lot of fun and work to it as the series unfolds. I can’t wait!”

Abby thought escaping her fast-paced city life would be easy, but between a grumpy, brooding handyman (who just might be the most ruggedly handsome man she’s ever met), a tight-knit community eager to play matchmaker, and exes that just won’t get the hint, nothing is as simple as it seems. The author’s description of what to expect::“For fans of small-town charm, grumpy x sunshine, cinnamon roll heroes, and inheriting a new life, this heartwarming romance full of cozy fall vibes is a must-read.”

The romantic adventure story of two former lovers seeking a fortune only to discover that love is what truly favors the bold.
Kate Hardesty’s late father spent his life exploring the waters around North Carolina’s Ocracoke Island, hunting for sunken treasure. Now, it has fallen to his daughter to decipher his detailed notes, charts, and maps to complete his quest—but Kate knows she needs the help of deep-sea diver Ky Silver.

Reunited, Kate and Ky’s search rekindles their passion and recovers something between them even more priceless than a lost treasure. A five-star review for the novel:
“An absolutely successful romance novel that has no kitsch in it and is written as sentimentally as only Nora Roberts can write. Ideal for enjoyable reading hours and exciting entertainment.”

Stephanie Caldwell fell in love with her boss, but he’s too clueless to notice. And being blind is no excuse.
Steph doesn’t care that Bran is blind—at least he’ll never see the longing looks she gives him. If only she could warn him about the lack of love on his conniving fiancée’s face. But Steph has to keep her mouth shut, or she could lose her job, along with the health insurance that keeps her daughter alive. Billionaire Branson Knight knows women regard him as a pitiful blind man, his wealth his only attraction. So his engagement is merely a means to an end. But the last thing he wants to end is his relationship with Stephanie—he depends way too much on his efficient personal assistant. Can Stephanie stand by while Bran’s devious fiancée coerces him into a quickie marriage? Or will she lose her temper… and everything else along with it? A five-star review for the novel:
“Loved this story! There was a lot of mystery and intrigue, but also great chemistry. Stephanie and Branson are so good together. There are moments when the story just gets so crazy and you’re left wondering how it will all work out. Tamie Dearen does a great job with this story. I really loved it”
