Off-limits. That’s what we are to each other.

Eirik has been my older brother’s best friend since we were kids. Back then, he was nice to me, friendly, even though I was the annoying little girl who constantly shadowed them. But as we’ve gotten older, our relationship has become strained. Instead of showing kindness, we pick fights and bring out the worst in each other. He’s known as the town playboy, and was never supposed to be on my radar. So why do I find him so irresistible?

Amelia is the forbidden fruit that’s only gotten sweeter with age. I’ve been captivated by her since we were teens. I considered us friends once, but now we’re more like frenemies. We fight like cats and dogs. No matter what I do, I annoy her. But I’ve never lost sight of how incredible she is, and when I realize I have feelings for her that are more than just a passing fancy, I have to make my move. Damn the consequences.

But what if something unexpected happens just as we’re starting out? Will we be able to survive it?

Blurb:

I’ve been called a lot of things in my life—gruff, intense, overprotective—but grumpy? That’s a new one.

After losing my wife, I left the noise of professional hockey and billion-dollar boardrooms behind, trading city chaos for small-town peace in Passion Pointe, Tennessee. I’ve got one mission: raise my son right and keep our world calm, quiet, and free from emotional chaos.

Then Linda Carter shows up, all curves, sass, and bright opinions wrapped in a nanny application.

She’s completely wrong for the job… and somehow, exactly what my son needs.

What I didn’t expect? That I’d need her just as much.

One smile from her turns my world upside down. One laugh makes the walls I’ve built start to crack. And the way she looks at me? It’s dangerous.

But she’s got rules, and so do I.

Rule #1: Don’t get attached.

Rule #2: Don’t mix business with pleasure.

Rule #3: Definitely don’t fall for the nanny.

Too late.

Because the more time I spend with Linda, the more I realize this fiery, big-hearted woman isn’t just helping us heal—she might be the piece we didn’t know we were missing.

And if breaking every rule is what it takes to make her ours?

Well then…

They can call me grumpy all they want.

“Rule #1: Never Call Him Grumpy” is a heartwarming closed-door hockey romance featuring a protective billionaire single dad, a sassy curvy nanny who refuses to be intimidated, and the small town that might just help them heal. Perfect for readers who love emotional stories with all the feels but none of the steam.

Each story in ‘Rules For Dating A Single Dad’ series celebrates the unique journey of finding love as a single father, showing that sometimes the most rewarding relationships are built on a foundation of Lego bricks and soccer practice sidelines.

Leave a comment

Sometimes turning it all off with the stars makes more sense

She thought her brother abandoned her, but HALLE DAWSON didn’t know the whole truth.

For years, Halle believed her brother had run away, leaving her to fight the darkness alone. The mean words, fear, and loneliness wrapped around her mind, dragging her down. But when Halle stumbles upon an unexpected letter, everything changes.

With nowhere else to go and drowning in her emotions, Halle takes a chance at a new life. Moving to Sunlit Cove was only supposed to be temporary––move in with her brother, get back on her feet, and leave.

She didn’t plan for them. For him.

He’s broody, cruel, and thinks she’s here for all the wrong reasons. ASHER HAYES is loved by everyone in Sunlit Cove, and he doesn’t want Halle to stay, even if everyone’s welcomed her with open arms.

Finding each other under the stars, their walls begin to crumble. Their connection deepens, and Asher is forced to face his own demons.

Can Asher stop running from what haunts him? Can Halle find the strength to heal and forgive? Is it possible to ever really heal from your past, or do some scars stay with you forever?

Where The Stars Heal is book one in the Sunlit Cove series. A found family, small town romance full of all the angst and emotion. This story will take you on a journey of healing, self discovery, and finding love.

About this book:

I wanted out of my hometown, and away from Cal McDonaghue

I’d done everything I could to escape my hometown, escape the awkward girl who’d always been too tall, too big, too strong. As a sports trainer, all the things that made me stand out also made me good at my job. Until I got fired.

Now I’m unemployed and back in my high school bedroom, reliving old crushes when I run into my best friend’s brother. He needs help training for the Highland Games. How can I say no?

Rebecca Barton might just be my saving grace

When my rival says he’s retiring from the Highland Games and wants one last chance to prove who’s best, I’m in. But he’s got personal trainers and fancy equipment, while I’ve got a parking lot filled with discarded junk.

Thankfully, my sister’s best friend is back in town. She’s trained some of the biggest stars in college football and she always liked me.

Only, she’s not the girl I remember. She’s grown into a gorgeous, self-assured goddess and this time around, I’m the one getting tongue-tied. I’ve convinced her to be my trainer and now I need to convince her to be my girl.

Just a Fling is a best friend’s brother sports romance. If you love obscure sports, sneaking around under your best friend’s nose, and small town gossip, you’ll love this standalone romance, part of the Franklin Notch series.

About this book:

Grumps were her specialty. Until she met Len.

Millie doesn’t want a corner office. She doesn’t work in a cubicle. She travels the country playing aide to hip surgery recipients and providing temporary relief to burnt-out spouses caring for their ill partners. And while she might dream of a family of her own and real friends, until she finds a place that feels like home, she helps others.

And she loves being a caregiver. Winning people over is what she does best.

But an assignment that comes with its own house? Millie jumps at the opportunity, especially since she doesn’t even have to change bedpans. All that’s required of her is cooking and companionship for the surly and reclusive neighbor.

No problem.

Until she finds out the grump next door isn’t some old geezer…

He prepared for a winter alone. Then Millie moved in.

Locals say Len’s a grump. A hermit. A shut-in.

Yeah, maybe that’s true, but alone is just how he likes it. He has a thriving career, a home miles away from gossiping neighbors, and his adopted mom living in the cabin across the driveway to keep him company.

Until she decides she’s spent enough winters in New Hampshire.

That’s fine. Len can handle a winter alone.

But before he can pop open a beer and kick back, there’s a new neighbor. A house sitter. And not some elderly acquaintance like his mom set him up to expect, but a knockout who threatens to upend his quiet winter.

Just Next Door is the first full-length stand-alone installment of the Franklin Notch series. If you love small town gossip, flirty banter, and cozy stories you can wrap yourself up in, you’ll lose yourself in this romantic comedy.
