 The love at The Springs continues with Book Two in the McCormicks Series.

Men are nothing but trouble!

From Jade Johnson's experience, the only thing they've ever been good for is holding her back from achieving her dreams.  But when work takes her to the small town of Cedar Springs, Jade comes face to face with a man who sets her world on fire and immediately challenges her beliefs.

Mitch McCormick is finally ready to put his playboy ways behind him and settle down, but the type of women he's been dating are definitely not the marrying type.  That's why he needs a nice girl.  An easy going, sweet, small town girl.

But if Mitch is so determined to date a nice small town girl, then why can't he stop thinking about the feisty, sharp tongued talent agent who's in town to film a television show?  Jade challenges him and excites him in a way he's never experienced and can't stop thinking about.  But she's made it clear that settling down isn't something she wants, not with him - not with anyone.

Book One- Love in the Moment (Ian & Gwen's Story)

About the author

  Like a lot of my readers, I'm a busy mom. It often feels like life is pulling us in a million different directions, which is why I love to write romance!

There's nothing better than knowing you have an escape waiting for you at the end of a long day in the form of a good book.
I'm lucky enough to live in the shadow of the Canadian Rocky Mountains in the foothills of Alberta, where I can write the stories I love. Whenever I get the chance, I escape into those amazing mountains and I can usually be found sitting with my feet in the lake, working on my next book.
As well as contemporary romance novels, I also like to write women's fiction and my collection of stand alone novels are all part of the Escape Collection. I'm always trying something new, so stay tuned to see what's next!

One More Moment
Book 3
Playing the lead in the summer's hottest new show Mr. Summer, is a dream come true for Cal McCormick. It’s the big break he’s been waiting for after leaving his modeling career—and ex-girlfriend—behind in Australia. Things seem pretty much perfect particularly after meeting the local real estate agent while shooting on location. Milena Hill completely captivates him with her sweet smile and even sweeter kisses. 
After transforming her life by kicking her deadbeat boyfriend out and embarking on a new career, the last thing Milena expects is to fall for an incredibly handsome television star. Even more unexpected? He seems to be just as into her.
Caught up in a whirlwind romance is exciting, but dating a celebrity has its drawbacks, especially for a woman like Milena who hates the limelight. Enter Cal’s sexy co-star who shares a history with Cal that’s made for tabloid gossip, and things only get more complicated. How can Milena compete with a woman who is so unfairly gorgeous and as comfortable in the spotlight as Cal?

Can Cal show Milena that living a life in the spotlight will give her a chance to shine? Can Milena trust in a love that will turn her new life upside down? Can their love withstand the pressure of stardom or is it nothing more than gossip for the tabloids? 
Love in the Moment: The McCormicks: Book One
Book 1
The love at the Springs continues with...The McCormicks!

After ten years, Ian McCormick was finally back in town and opening a brand new business. It was long past time to put his family drama behind him and maybe even have a little fun, just like the old days. And what better way to enjoy the summer than with the gorgeous brunette he’d just met at the bus depot? One hundred pounds lighter, with a hot new look and a successful social media career, Gwen Henderson has returned to Cedar Springs. The last time she was there, she was awkward, overweight and her heart was completely shattered. She knew there was a chance she’d run into him, but she wasn’t prepared for the man he’d become or for him to have no idea who she was. 

Gwen comes up with an innocent plan, a social experiment performed solely for the benefit of her social media followers, and maybe she’d even get a little closure at the same time. Would Ian be interested in the new and improved version of her? It was the perfect idea. At least until all the feelings she thought were dead, come rushing back. She can’t back out once she starts. But can her heart survive Ian a second time? And with their hearts on the line, can Gwen continue to play a game that could hurt them both and destroy the only real chance at love she’s ever had?

Shelter by the Sea: Destination Paradise
Book 1
He’s determined to leave his past behind. She’s committed to a new and better future. But a guarded heart and an inability to trust may be too much to overcome, even in paradise. A mountain man through and through, Archer Wolfe never imagined he’d be willing to give up rocky peaks and pine trees for white beaches and rainforests. But sometimes leaving your life behind to start over where nobody knows you is the only solution. And that’s exactly what he’s trying to do and the pretty little blond in the tight tank top just might be the person to help him stay. Working together to run a charter business on her sailboat seems like the perfect solution for both of them, at least it would be if he could convince her to give in to the growing heat between them because it’s only getting harder to ignore the attraction between them that’s quickly becoming more than just physical. 

Cass Cutler’s life is full—of nothing. Unless you count a dead end job and a pathetic excuse for a relationship with her boss—and she doesn’t. So when she gets word that her father, whom she hasn’t seen in twenty years, is presumed dead, and she’s the new owner of his yacht located in Panama, she jumps at the chance for a change. And what better place for a new start than the picture perfect beaches and crystal clear water of the San Blas Islands, especially when they come complete with a unreasonably gorgeous man who’s become the star of Cass’s very naughty dreams. And her dreams are exactly where he should stay, because the last thing Cass wants or needs, is another man in her life who’s just going to leave. Now all Cass needs to do is figure out a way to keep their increasing attraction from distracting her as she attempts to save her inheritance—and her heart—before she loses everything.

Book 4
The love at The Springs continues with Book Four in the McCormicks Series.  


For eight years, Evie Rose has managed just fine on her own, running a business and raising her son, Jonah. But when Jonah’s father reappears on the scene, she risks losing everything if she can’t prove she provides a stable family environment for her son. And fast.   After watching his parents love dissolve in heartache, Declan McCormick is single by choice, and has dedicated his life to helping others. So when the super sexy, fiercely independent, Evie Rose asks for his help, there’s no way he can say no. Especially since she needs him to be her fake fiancée. After all, anything that means stealing a kiss or two, seems like a good deal.   It’s not supposed to be real, but the longer Evie spends with Declan, the closer they get and not only does it start to look real, it also starts to feel more real than anything she’s ever felt before. The only problem is, Declan only sees her as a project, just someone else he can help. And when everything starts to unravel, tough decisions have to be made, quickly.   Evie will do anything to keep her son, and the life they’ve built. Even if it means closing her heart to something she’s never felt before. Declan didn’t think love was possible, but if he doesn’t open his eyes to see what’s in front him, he could lose the family he’s grown to love—forever.

Summer of Change
Book 1
With the Springs resort set to open in mere weeks, Trent Harrison needs to stay focused and see to every detail. The last thing he needs is a complication, even one that comes in the form of sexy bar owner, Samantha Burke.


Samantha loves her quiet close-knit community of Cedar Springs, just the way it is. The addition of a fancy new resort as well as its arrogant owner, and the change they're both sure to bring, is certainly not welcome.

With Trent pushing his way into her town, and her life, Samantha's resistance to him wavers in the face of the passion and heat they share. Change is inevitable, but can either of them drop their guard long enough to accept it when there's so much on the line?
