About Patience (Ashford Creek Book 4)

I fell in love with Rush Dawson before I realized what love was. When I was forced to go home to my small town after my father committed the worst of sins, I told myself to never look back.

Yet I couldn’t help but wonder about the one who got away.

When Rush moves from London to Ashford Creek years later, however, there is no escaping the chemistry.

And this history.

Now he’s a single father and trying his best to keep his daughter safe. His connections to my family are a surprise, but not unwelcome.

With one accidental encounter in a hidden hallway, memories come rushing back to the surface and I know I might have to risk everything and take that leap.

Only someone doesn’t want us to be together and if we’re not careful, family secrets could take away our choices before we even get a chance.

Patience is small town, single dad, right person, wrong time romance in the Ashford Creek series featuring Teagan and Rush. Each book can be read as a complete standalone. A HEA is guaranteed!

When Kiera West needs a place to hide from the media and her ex, she never thought Bodhi Ashford—the man the small town of Ashford Creek once thought a murderer—would be her salvation.

A fire took everything from him once, and the town he thought he could trust turned on him before he could grieve. Falling for a woman in the spotlight is the last thing he needs.

About One Quick Obsession (The Cage Family Book 4)

“Who Hurt You?”

When Hudson Cage asked those words, I shut him out just as I did the rest of those who cared for me. It’s been a year since I made one of the worst choices of my life but now I am stronger and following the path I’ve carved myself.

As manager of the Cage Resort, I want to bring the company into a new era and show the larger than life family that I worth so much more than what my father and ex said I was.

Only to do that, I have to deal with Hudson. The man I can’t get off my mind.

And my neighbor in this small town of ours.

We fight more than we speak to one another, and his over protectiveness is starting to become far too attractive. He holds secrets within those stormy eyes and the part of me that knows it’s a mistake wants to dive deep and know more.

When one lack of control turns to another, there’s no turning back from what we could have. Yet the darkness on each of our paths are closing in.

I don’t want to love Hudson Cage, but if we don’t give in and learn to trust, we both could risk losing it all before we even have a chance.
