Are you a Kindle Vella reader? Don't miss our newest release, Wishfully Yours, a clean contemporary romance series available now. You can read the first three epsisodes for FREE!

He's my ex-boyfriend's older brother - but I only found out after I kissed him. Men have been off my radar since my ex cheated on me in college, but when my best friend drags me to a Halloween party and I impulsively wish on a star, Tyler appears. Our stolen kiss should have been enough for me, but when Tyler reunites with his family and moves back to our small town, we gravitate towards each other whether we like it or not . . . and we don't. Or do we?

Wishfully Yours is a new addition to our Cherish Creek Sweet Small Town Romance Books 1-3 series.

Perfectly Yours is Available Now!

We're so excited to share our fifth and final book in the Cherish Creek sweet small town romance series, Perfectly Yours, available now wherever you love to purchase e-books. Thank you so much to everyone who has been reading and loving this series, which has been so much fun for us to write!

When Annabelle returns to her small town to pursue an internship opportunity, will she help her high school enemy, who is also the boy next door, when he begs her to pretend to be his girlfriend to make his dying grandma happy?

Coming back to Cherish Creek after a few years at a big city university is like a breath of fresh air, but once Mason, who stole my Halloween candy in elementary school, cheated off my math tests in middle school, and teased me about my red hair until the day we graduated, traipses across his lawn to mine, I know he's up to no good. His ornery smile is still cute, but he's buttering me up for something I won't like, so when he asks me to act like his girlfriend to please his terminally ill grandmother, I waver.

His grandma, who just moved to town so Mason and his family can take care of her, doesn't know about our past, but everyone else in Cherish Creek does. He's the most annoying man I know, but saying no would hurt his grandma. Even if I agree to this ridiculous plan, can I pull off such an act convincingly enough to fool the entire town?

Perfectly Yours is the irresistible fifth book in the Cherish Creek sweet small town romance series. If you like enemies to lovers, fake relationships, and family devotion, you'll love Alessa Martel's pretend romance love story.

When Madison gets fired from her job for refusing the advances of a ruthless coworker, will the boss' son tempt her into breaking her promise to swear off men forever?

An incredible opportunity at a high powered law firm promises to kick start my goal to become a legal secretary, but the negative rumors follow me. When an aggressive coworker won't take no for an answer, he makes sure I'm fired, and my efforts to create a clean slate are ruined.

Back in my small hometown, I struggle to stick to my career goals while ignoring disheartening gossip. Until the one man who avoided me at the law firm shows up at my door, igniting my heart as well as the rumor mill.

Hopelessly Yours is the dramatic fourth book in the Cherish Creek sweet small town romance series.

If you like smart heroines, obsessed heroes, and workplace romance, you'll love this opposite sides of the track love story.

Sweet small town contemporary romance.

♥"Absolutely charming with oodles and oodles of heart-felt drama."♥ Amazon reviewer

♥"Heartfelt . . . I hope to read more from this author."♥ Goodreads reviewer

High school sweethearts. One night of heartbreak.

Michael and I used to be inseparable, but a devastating moment during a summer party after high school graduation brought our relationship to a painful stop. I avoided spending winter break from my freshman year in college back in my small town, but summer is closing in, looming like a dark cloud on the horizon. Returning home means facing Michael and the ruins of our relationship, but my fearful heart still aches over the future I always assumed we would share.

When my younger sister reveals that Michael is rumored to be engaged, I realize that I'm not ready to give him up. He's moved on, with a beautiful fiancée who seems to make him happy, but can I stand by and ignore the love I still hold in my heart for him?
