Double Fault is LIVE!
SURPRISE! Double Fault is now live!
Sabrina
I’m twenty-two, buried in student loans, and soon to be homeless.
I need a job that pays decently—stat.
When my best friend suggests interviewing for a traveling nanny position with some tennis star I think she’s joking. It’s too good to be true. The pay is more than I could dream of. I’d get to travel the world. There don’t seem to be any cons.
Not until I meet my potential boss.
Noah Baker.
Hot as hell, but with a massive chip on his shoulder.
He seems to hate me from the start, but lucky for me—or maybe unluckily depending on how you think about it—his daughter loves me. Since I’m the only person she’s connected with he reluctantly offers me the position.
Noah
I was at the top of my game until my wife died.
I didn’t anticipate how much grief would affect my ability to play the sport I love, let alone parent my daughter.
With the tour starting up in January I have no choice but to take her with me, which means I need a nanny to keep an eye on her.
When Sabrina Howard walks through my door to interview; I instantly hate her.
She’s the first woman who’s made my heart race since my wife passed away.
Unfortunately for me, my daughter likes Sabrina, making it a no brainer to hire her.
Eleven months. Seventy-one tournaments. Five continents.
And one nanny who’s entirely too tempting.
This book was previously published under the pen name Ella Wren.

Blurb:
Lennon Wells and Beckham Sullivan should have been perfect for each other. Both vulnerable, both striving to please difficult families, and both broken by the past. Going from friends to lovers seemed inevitable. So did a bad ending. They thought—they hoped—they’d never see each other again.
Years later, bad luck or fate, Lennon and Beckham find themselves working for the same magazine. The wounds are still raw, but the chemistry is there. Then they’re forced to work together on a project. Some things never change, and all it takes is one impetuous night. One mistake. And Lennon discovers she’s pregnant.
With more in common than they ever had before, Lennon and Beckham are going to be in each other’s lives for a long time now, whether they like it or not. And they’re starting to. If only they can break from the generational traumas that hold tight and take a shot at something they never expected: a second chance.

It took me a while to learn that sometimes no matter how much, or how hard you love someone, or something, you have to let them go. You can’t save a sinking ship.
Sometimes, you have someone else you have to be strong for, who needs you more.
You make a choice.
A devastating one.
And you hope, maybe one day, they’ll come back to you.

The Infiniteness of Yesterday by Micalea Smeltzer is now live!
An angsty, love triangle romance from bestselling author, Micalea Smeltzer
He was my first love, but it doesn’t mean he’s my last.
I fell in love with Spencer when I was only a teenager. He was the sun, the moon, and the stars in my young eyes. But our lives were turned upside down when I got pregnant. A baby wasn’t part of the plan. Neither was him becoming one of Hollywood’s hottest young actors. Suddenly, he wasn’t mine anymore. He belonged to the world and I was his past and just the girl he had a child with.
He’s my present, but it doesn’t mean he’s my future.
I didn’t expect Jameson, but life works in mysterious ways, giving you what you need when you least expect it. He picked up the pieces of myself that were shattered in the aftermath of Spencer. I’m older now, not blinded with stars in my eyes like I once was. Jameson is my safe harbor in all of life’s storms.
But just like the twinkling stars in the sky, love soars, changes and burns with the passage of time.
When my past returns to collide with my present, only my forever love will remain…

The Persistence of Thornes is out now!
Oh boy, it’s been a long time since I posted here but I really need to get better about that.
I wanted to hop on today and let you know that The Persistence of Thornes is out now! This is a brand new book in the Wildflower universe. Y0u do not need to read the duet first, though if you do plan on reading it at some point I’d say do it first .
About The Persistence of Thornes
Hawthorne Mills is supposed to be my chance to start over with my brothers. Becoming their guardian wasn’t the plan, but I’ll do anything it takes to keep them from being put in the system. Even if it means raising two teenage boys when I’m only twenty-three.
There’s one thing I don’t expect.
Caleb Thorne.
He’s literally descended from the founding family of the town and practically royalty here.
And also my new neighbor.
Which makes him privy to every screw up I make trying to navigate being a parental figure to my younger brothers.
It should be easy enough for me to avoid him but he’s annoyingly persistent in wanting to help me. I call it pity even if he insists it’s not.
The worst part is there’s undeniable chemistry between us and the more time we spend together the harder it becomes to resist.
But nothing good in my life has ever lasted so I fully expect Caleb to be another of those temporary things.
Especially when my past demons finally catch up with me.

Blurb:
What happens when the one person you thought you’d never see again waltzes back into your life? One scandalizing night in an emotional novel by a USA Today bestselling author.
Lennon Wells and Beckham Sullivan should have been perfect for each other. Both vulnerable, both striving to please difficult families, and both broken by the past. Going from friends to lovers seemed inevitable. So did a bad ending. They thought—they hoped—they’d never see each other again.
Years later, bad luck or fate, Lennon and Beckham find themselves working for the same magazine. The wounds are still raw, but the chemistry is there. Then they’re forced to work together on a project. Some things never change, and all it takes is one impetuous night. One mistake. And Lennon discovers she’s pregnant.
With more in common than they ever had before, Lennon and Beckham are going to be in each other’s lives for a long time now, whether they like it or not. And they’re starting to. If only they can break from the generational traumas that hold tight and take a shot at something they never expected: a second chance.
