We All Fall Down
I'm not invited to the family meeting that decides my fate, and when it's announced that Dad's retiring and I'll be taking over the farm, I know exactly what this is: A rescue mission. My brothers are tired of dragging me out of the bottom of a bottle, where I can predictably be found drowning my sorrows.
When Beckett's brought in to manage the transition, you might say it doesn't go smoothly. I can't stand that my family's hired a business consultant to babysit me. I know they fear I'll run the farm into the ground, and maybe I take my anger out on her... but I'm surprised when she gives it right back, and soon I'm looking forward to our arguments more than I should.
We were set up to be enemies from the start, and I tell myself I can't wait for her to finish out her contract and go back to Texas. But Beckett has secrets, some that followed her all the way to Minnesota, and I discover my life wasn't at all what I thought.
We All Fall Down is a midlife, enemies to lovers tale of heartbreak, disappointment, loss, and overcoming addiction. This story has a strong mental health rep, plenty of banter and a tight-knit family who put one another first.

The Greatest of These
After twenty-four years of marriage, I'm starting over. A colorless condo and a cat I never wanted, an empty existence that reminds me of everything I've lost. Work keeps me tethered to reality, but it's the distance from my teenage boys that haunts me the most. Agreeing to keep a custody agreement out of the courts is a decision I regret every day, especially now, as I haven’t seen them in almost a year.
Enter Charlize Campbell.
She’s the last distraction I need, one my boys encourage. A tiny blonde with a mouth like a trucker, and a lifetime of hard-earned strength to back it up. I've known her family for years, but I’ve never truly seen her. Until now.
The pull between us is undeniable. But when strange, menacing signs begin to appear, I can’t ignore the gut feeling that someone wants her gone—and I'm the only one who seems to take the threat seriously. The deeper I get into her world, the clearer it becomes: she’s tangled up in a dangerous turf war that could cost her everything.
Tropes: Age gap, it was always you, second chance, chronic migraine rep, small town, romantic suspense.

The Wages of Silence
She vanished without a word for decades. This time, it might cost her life.
Hannah Holt was the girl of my dreams, the love of my life—until she walked away without warning, leaving our infant daughter behind. Thirty years later, she’s a Hollywood icon, beloved by millions … and a stranger to me.
I built a life in the military, forging a path I thought would give us a future. Instead, it seemed to be something that drove a wedge between us. Now, on my fiftieth birthday, she’s back—haunted, elusive, and still holding onto secrets.
She says her past silence wasn’t abandonment, it was protection. She can’t say more, not until she gathers enough evidence for a court-martial. Then, just as suddenly as she returned, Hannah vanishes again.
Only this time, she can’t be found.
Her agent is panicked. Her closest friend hasn’t heard from her. Her parents have no details. And the more I dig, the more it looks like Hannah was never running from me, but from something darker. Something that still wants her silence.
I have the training, the contacts, and the determination to find her. Now I need the truth—before the woman I’ve never stopped loving disappears for good.
​

She was the one who got away. Now she’s back, and trouble’s right behind her.
​
Tristyn Henderson was my best friend. The girl I wanted more than my next breath.
Then she disappeared—no goodbye, no explanation—just gone.
Now she’s home in Colson Creek, showing up at church and Sunday dinners like a ghost.
Won’t look me in the eye. Won’t tell me why she left. And she’s furious with me.
​
My situation changes overnight, and so does hers when danger shows up on her doorstep. So I don’t give her a choice.
She stays with me.
Under my roof.
In my space.
Too damn close to forget what we were… and everything we never got to be.
​
But Tristyn’s secrets run deep. And the closer I get, the more I realize she’s protecting more than her heart.
​
To keep her safe, I’ll have to lean on my brothers, face what came between us, and fight like hell for the second chance I should’ve never lost.
​
Because this time?
I’m not letting her run away again.
​
A small-town, friends-to-lovers, second-chance romantic suspense about healing old wounds, finding forgiveness, and holding on when the past refuses to stay buried.
