Lets be real - after writing Book Two in the Hartwell Hills series (yeah I’m looking at you Abi and Cash) - I was determined I was never going to write again. That book was so hard and took so much out of me. Then my wonderful friend J.A Forde told me to write a book for me…and what came of it was my favorite story to date.

Break the Chute reminded me why I loved writing, why I loved telling stories and now…I’m so ready to share it with the world. I had so much fun writing this book. There was no imposter syndrome, no moments were I was questioning the words on the page, none of that! I’ve spent the year thinking and working on Break the Chute and finally it’s here!

An out-of-work actress and her best friend’s brother enter into a marriage of convenience—only to inconveniently fall for each other—in this spicy small town romance from the author of Rare Blend and Double Barrel.

He’s after a house. She’s the key to getting it.

Scotland “Scottie” James swore she’d never end up back in her small hometown. But with acting gigs drying up and the city spitting her out, Red Mountain is the only place to go—and the last place she wanted to be. Taking a job at her parents’ real estate firm is meant to be a detour on her way back to the stage. But when she’s asked to help her best friend’s older brother find a lake house, she accidentally lands her biggest acting role yet: Gavin Ledger’s wife.

For Gavin Ledger, winemaker and devoted single dad, life revolves around his daughter. The perfect lake house could help her feel closer to the mother she’ll never know—but there’s one problem: the seller will only sell to a married couple. His solution? The one woman guaranteed to test his patience. Scottie is dramatic, glamorous, and nothing like the steady, quiet life he’s built, yet being her husband—on paper—feels dangerously easy.

The longer they play house, the more it stops feeling like an act. And when the final curtain falls, Scottie will have to decide if chasing her old dream is worth losing the best thing she never saw coming.

Like bottle shock, love can take you by surprise—but the best things in life are often the ones you never planned.

It’s only love until . . .

There’s a dating pact with a Valentine’s Day deadline.

I’ve dedicated my entire adult life to serving a greater purpose. From my years in the Air Force to building my family’s prosthetics company into a multi-billion-dollar powerhouse. Discipline, service, and ambition have always guided me. But love? That’s never been part of the plan.

Dating only complicates things. As far as I’m concerned, Cupid can keep his arrows.

But according to an outdated company bylaw my grandfather refuses to change, I can’t inherit the business unless I’m married. And apparently, being “married to the job” doesn’t count.

When my best friend Libby gets her heart broken yet again, I blindly propose an idea to fix both our problems. I’ll find someone who actually deserves her, and she’ll find me a wife in name only. No feelings. No drama. Simple. Or at least, it should be.

Except Libby doesn’t do anything halfway, especially not matters of the heart. She’s on a mission to prove true love is worth the effort and starts pushing me into one ridiculous meet-and-greet after another.

All I want is to secure the future of my company. But I have the growing suspicion one of Cupid’s glittery arrows is aiming right at me. And with my luck, I doubt I’ll see it coming until it strikes.
