When the biggest career opportunity of my life–my own home reno TV show–sends me back to my hometown, I’m less than excited. Paradise, Idaho might be paradise for everyone else, but it never was for me. Except for my best friend, Zach. When he signs on to be a contractor on my show, things start to look up. And heat up . If only Zach wasn’t about to propose to someone else. Even my rocking curves and great hair can’t compete with that. Problem is, my fans think we’re a thing and want to see us together. And my show’s producers want what the fans want. My TV show is about to become my fantasy–a love story about Zach and me. But TV is the only place where the story can be true. Telling Zach how I feel means risking my business, and even worse, our friendship. I could lose everything. Including the one person I want more than anything . The second book in the Love in Paradise Valley series, ( Not So) Famous in Paradise is a laugh-out-loud, friends to more, romantic comedy that can be read as a stand-alone. less

When Tessa steps into the hot mineral waters of Second Chance Spring, she tosses out a wish for a second chance at life and love. What she gets in return is a lot more than she bargained for, including the handsome cowboy who catches her—naked—trespassing at the spring.Rowdy is not the kind of guy she could ever see herself with, and Paradise is not the kind of place she’d ever want to live permanently. But fate has a different idea about what Tessa actually needs.

Paradise is supposed to be a short-term stop. Until Thor shows up. Okay, not the real Thor. But replace the hammer with a dog who won’t stop barking, and Adam Thomsen is definitely long-haired Thor’s doppelganger. Too bad for me, he’s decided I’m the villain in his story. Too bad for him, his scowl is no match for my super-powered positivity... moreParadise is supposed to be a short-term stop. Until Thor shows up. Okay, not the real Thor. But replace the hammer with a dog who won’t stop barking, and Adam Thomsen is definitely long-haired Thor’s doppelganger. Too bad for me, he’s decided I’m the villain in his story. Too bad for him, his scowl is no match for my super-powered positivity. It’s a good thing, too, because we have to work together rehabbing a home in Paradise Valley—an assignment that, if I get right, will launch my career in a big way. So I just have to play nice with my grouchy contractor. Even if he never smiles. And wishes I wasn’t here. And disagrees with me about practically everything, including the whole reason I’m in Paradise in the first place. I’m convinced Adam is the last man on earth I should fall for. The obstacle keeping me from all my dreams. But then I hear him sing. And he finds me antlers. (Long story.) And suddenly, somehow, he’s everything I’ve ever wanted even if we do still disagree. Unfortunately, there’s more on the line than just my job. Friendships, family relationships, and a town full of history are all at risk. I want to believe I can have it all, but this is paradise, and my name is EVE. Odds are, I’m headed for banishment. And this time, Adam isn’t coming with me. The first book in the Love in Paradise Valley series, The Grumpy Side of Paradise is a closed door, sweet romantic comedy with kisses and banter hot enough to sizzle without any spice. less
