The Buy-In

Love Stories in Sheet Cake Sweet Rom Com Series #1

I knew better than to fall for NFL player Patrick Graham. No way will I make this mistake twice–even if he is my husband. 

Six years ago, I fell in love when I shouldn’t have. And I learned my lesson when he got drafted and left without so much as a goodbye.

So, when Patrick shows up on my front porch and tells me his family just bought my whole town, I will not give into his charm a second time.

The Grahams might be just what Sheet Cake, Texas needs to get back on its feet.

Not me. I’m doing just fine. But I don’t need Patrick sweeping in back in like he never left. Even if I’m taking care of my mom and raising my niece in a house that’s falling apart around me.

Until … my sister decides she wants custody of Jo, and the state decides she’d be better in a two-parent household.

Guess who steps up, more than happy to fill that role?

I agree to marry Patrick for Jo, and only for Jo. But as he does everything he can for both of us, I start to wonder if resisting Patrick Graham is an exercise in futility.

This is a second chance marriage of convenience romantic comedy following a family of brothers who buy a small Texas town. Filled with plenty of sizzle while keeping the bedroom door closed.

The Bluff

Love Stories in Sheet Cake Sweet Rom Com Series #2

I won’t be winning any employee of the year awards. But only because my boss is the grumpy boss to end all grumpy bosses. Did I mention he doesn’t trust me to do my job?

Challenge accepted.

Not only am I going to help James launch a successful brewery, but I’m going to find out what makes him tick … and what makes him go boom.

All this has nothing to do with the fact that the man is unbearably, unfairly, unignorably (is that a word?) attractive. Or that he lost his mom when he was young, same as me.

The more he pushes me away, the more I’m pulled into his orbit. It’s a battle of stubborn wills, and I don’t plan to concede anytime soon.

Except the more time I spend around James Graham, the more I start to lose the one thing I refuse to give to any man … my heart.

The Bluff is an enemies to lovers, grumpy boss rom-com set in the fictional small town of Sheet Cake Texas. You’ll find plenty of laughs and sizzling chemistry in this closed door romantic comedy. It’s the second in a series, but can be read as a standalone.

The Pocket Pair

Love Stories in Sheet Cake Sweet Rom Com Series #3

Do I have feelings for my sister’s best friend? Of course not.

That would be stupid, considering my sister once threatened to castrate me if I ever hurt Val.

Hurting her is the last thing I want to do, which is all the MORE reason I can’t have feelings for her. Val deserves the world, and I’m NOT the man who can give it to her.

But when Val announces she’s leaving town (and the country), I’m suddenly confronted with some very capital-F Feelings–ones that refuse to stay stuffed down deep where I’ve hidden them for more years than I care to admit.

Having her crash in my guest bedroom until she leaves only makes things worse.

Little by little, Val chips away at my defenses, and despite all the solid reasons I have, my resolve starts to crumble.

The thing is–none of the circumstances have changed.

Val is still planning to leave the country. And I … well, I might have gotten more in touch with my feelings, but I’m still the same man.

NOT a man who can promise things like life-long commitment. NOT a man Val can count on. NOT the good guy everyone seems to think I am.

If only I could get Val and the rest of this nosy, meddling matchmaking town to believe me–and if my own stubborn heart wasn’t trying to convince me otherwise.

The Pocket Pair is a best friend’s brother, friends to more rom-com set in the fictional small town of Sheet Cake Texas. You’ll find plenty of laughs and sizzling chemistry in this closed door romantic comedy. It’s the third in a series, but can be read as a standalone.

A Holly Jilly Christmas

My life is nothing like the movies we make at the studio where I work–especially not when it comes to relationships.

Which means that there will be absolutely NO romance between me and Case, the grumpy exec I’ve had a crush on from our very first not-so-meet-cute.

We’re simply two coworkers scouting the town of Sheet Cake, Texas as a location for filming.

That’s it.

Though, to be honest, I’m suspicious of why Case came on this trip at all.

Whatever the reason, there will be no Christmas magic, and definitely NO mistletoe kisses.

But when Case actually starts talking to me–gasp!–and reveals the humor and kindness buried beneath his gruff persona, my little crush explodes into something a lot harder to hide.

Except he’s harboring secrets of his own.

And I’m starting to wonder if his cagey behavior is because he’s planning to take credit for my (admittedly brilliant) idea to make this town our central filming hub.

He’s not that kind of man … right?

All I wanted for Christmas was a promotion, and now I’m falling for the man who might be trying to steal it.

A Holly Jilly Christmas is a grumpy sunshine Christmas novella set in the world of Sheet Cake, Texas.You’ll get all the chemistry and laughs in this closed door romance.
