Welcome to Honeybridge, Maine!



FIRECRACKER, Book 1 of the Honeybridge series is Now Available in #KindleUnlimited and on Audio (narrated by Michael Dean)! Grab it now! And let me know what you think of JT and Flynn!

I once lived a fairly quiet existence as a math professor. Then Teagan Donahue crashed into my life like a shooting star. Now every day's a holiday, and my very best friend is also the guy I can't stop fantasizing about.
The guy I'm madly in love with.
The guy I'm ready to turn down my dream job for.

But the statistical probability of a man like Teagan wanting his shy, nerdy roommate as more than a friend is incredibly low, and if I have to choose between having everything else I've ever wanted and having Teagan in my life... well, I know which one I'll pick, every time.

Then one night on a crowded dance floor, I'm suddenly faced with a probability I've never let myself calculate: what if I don't have to choose at all?

Hunter Jackson’s Sage Advice for a Happy Thanksgiving

When your turkey-thieving, town-abandoning, former childhood friend reappears in Licking Thicket after fifteen long years, looking like a snack and smelling like all your favorite treats put together, it might be tempting to, well, dig in.

Don’t.

And when your plan to teach the man a lesson goes spectacularly awry, becoming less of a wattle-wearing walk of shame around the Thicket’s Thanksgiving festival and more of a sexy turkey-twerk in a skin-tight bird costume featuring the hottest pair of drumsticks the town’s ever seen, you might think it’s time to get over your feud and, well, take a bite.

Resist.

But when Charlton Nutter finally shows you the sweet, pure heart he’s hiding under all his fine, big-city feathers, and you realize, thanks to the town’s meddling matchmakers, that the man is hungry for the kind of love and belonging that only the Thicket can provide, you might decide that both of you have been acting like a pair of turkeys, and in that case you should…

Gobble. Him. Up.

The heroes of Champion Security had a team meeting and decided they needed to be taken more seriously and hence, a new series name was born. Don't worry, it's still the same over the top innuendos and hilarious puns inside. (plus swoon romances, obviously!) Just the name has changed. Oh, wait, no, one more thing has changed. Say hello to:

⭐️CHAMPION SECURITY: THE COMPLETE COLLECTION ⭐️

Join the men of Champion Security as they settle into the town of Licking Thicket, Tennessee… and accidentally stumble into a whole heap of trouble. From accidentally hijacking a cartel overlord’s plane, to posing as fake-fiances to plan a wedding and solve a crime, to hacking the world’s silliest video game, the Champion Security series is packed with laugh-out-loud humor, steamy connections made under pressure, and plenty of delicious, schmoopy love.
Included in this collection:
🛬 Hijacked: When a bodyguard is sent to South America to babysit a spoiled doctor, he sees it as a punishment… until the doctor winds up the hostage of a monologuing overlord, and the bodyguard realizes he cares more about his protectee than he realized.
💍 Hitched: Champion Security’s fearless leader is brought to his knees by a snarky wedding planner who’s been hired to plan a wedding for a criminal mastermind’s daughter.
🎮 Hacked: A cocky hacker and his nemesis–an adorkable, meddling gamer–must work together to bring down a criminal organization… while trying their hardest not to fall for each other.

If you haven't met the men of Champion Security yet? Now's the perfect time. Grab this collection now in Kindle Unlimited!

Book 2 of my Copper County series is coming soon!

Amazon Release Date: November 19th, 2024

Cover Design: Natasha Snow Designs

Cover Model: Mitch Walker

If there were a prize for the most contented man in Copper County, I’d win it every time.

I’ve got my business. My teenage son. My family. My friends… and, sure, maybe I don’t have any romantic prospects at the moment, but it’s worth it because my life is great. Seriously. Could not be better. I’m practically bleeding serenity over here.

At least until Jasper Wrigley shows up in Copper County after twenty years–as my son’s temporary hockey coach, no less, though the man can barely lace up his skates–and throws my carefully ordered life into chaos.

Once upon a time, magnetic, confident Jasper was my best friend and greatest rival, and his summer visits to town were the best part of my year. Our competitions were fierce. Our dares were thrilling. We talked about everything under the sun, and he made me believe in the possibility of a bright, hazy future somewhere just out of reach.

But then he left, and we grew up… or at least I did. And the last thing I need now is Jasper back in my space, provoking me, challenging me, and making me question… freaking everything.

Like whether my life is as perfect as I claim.
Like whether I’m as straight as I think.
Like whether there might be something better than “contentment” out there waiting for me, if I’m brave enough to look for it.

And whether the man who was always my greatest rival… might just be the love of my life.

Preorder it now in ebook and audiobook for early release and with discounted pricing on my website store at may archer dot com, preorder the ebook on Amazon and add it to your Goodreads TBR here: The Rivals of Copper County

Lane’s Tips for Licking Thicket Newcomers

If at all possible, find yourself a hot and helpful landlord like Jaybird Proud who mows the lawn shirtless… and hope your grass grows quickly.

Expect the unexpected at work. If you’re a veterinarian, this might mean letter-cows, pet pigs that aren’t pets, and Butterscotch the Pomeranian, who has Strong Feelings about his glands.

Offer your help around town when needed… especially when that gorgeous landlord knocks on your door because his (pea)cock won’t stop displaying.

Learn about local customs, including: matchmaking, leaving Italian Gentlemen on the doormat, ordering tater tots, and entwining dead vines into wreaths as a sign of true love.

Get your car washed on the regular… especially when your landlord is the one doing the scrubbing.

Above all, keep things casual, even when Jay ends up at your place every night. And every morning. And the occasional afternoon.

But when you find yourself falling for someone like Jaybird Proud (and life in his weird and wonderful town), let go of everything you thought you wanted… and Entwine that Thicketeer forever.
