Boarding House Cowboy (2nd Edition) is now available on Amazon.com! It is available for purchase, or for free if you subscribe to Kindle+ (Kindle Unlimited).

This second edition has been expanded and re-edited for a new release along with new cover art.

A lonely boarding-house boy. A rugged cowboy. One dangerous love—and a road to freedom. 

Rusty has spent his life believing he is too small, too slow, and too different to deserve anything beyond a place working in Miss Ellie’s boarding house. 

Then Hoss Wexler arrives—a broad-shouldered Texas cowboy bound for Dakota Territory—and sees in Rusty everything others have overlooked. 

What begins as a dangerous attraction soon deepens into tenderness, protection, and the promise of a life neither man dared imagine.

This second edition has been expanded and re-edited for a new release along with new cover art.

Hospice nurse Paul has spent his life hiding his heart—until two dangerously powerful men turn his quiet world upside down.

Zeke, a sinister new orderly, awakens terror wherever he goes. Mike, a mysterious carpenter with an impossible warmth, makes Paul feel safe, desired, and truly seen for the first time. As their attraction deepens into a love neither can deny, Paul discovers that Mike is no ordinary man—and loving him breaks the laws of Heaven.

With a demon determined to claim Paul and an ancient oath threatening to tear the lovers apart, Paul and Mike must risk everything for a bond that could save them both—or condemn them forever. 

Guardian Angel is a passionate supernatural romance about forbidden love, faith, and two souls destined to become one for eternity.

An American Lamb In Europe has been re-published!

It is now available on Amazon for purchase once again. It is also available as a Kindle Unlimited selection, allowing you to read it “free” with your subscription.

(NOTE: If you own the original edition, there aren’t any changes in this edition.)

Jamie Anderson knows you need to look before you leap, but he forgets it often enough to land in trouble. When his brother and only remaining family member disappears, he doesn’t think twice about quitting his job as a dental hygienist to travel to the Czech Republic to search for him.

Rescued by the sexy, mysterious Tomas in a small city near the German border, Jamie enlists his help in locating Rudy. Soon Jamie realizes the man knows more than he’s sharing. When Jamie demands Tomas tell him the truth, Tomas reveals he’s a vampire. Horrified the man he’s fantasized about is a monster, Jamie struggles with the fact he still needs Tomas’s help to find Rudy.

Jamie never expects their search will land him in the middle of a vampire turf war.
