Becoming a single mother was never the plan—but neither was falling for the FBI Agent investigating her husband’s murder.

Letting Go is a slow burn romantic suspense novel featuring a single mother sweetheart heroine, an alpha hero FBI Agent that falls first, unexpected twists and turns, and a guaranteed happily ever after. This dual POV book includes adult themes and language. Think of it as a movie that’s rated R, so if you’re under 18, please go tell your mom about it, and she can give you a copy when you’re old enough (but know that she might read it first)! Letting Go is available in paperback, e-book, and included with Kindle Unlimited.

She thought she found true love after divorce … but someone thinks she’s already theirs to keep, and they’re willing to risk anything to prove it—including her life. 

Savannah Callahan-Williams may have been blindsided when her husband chose to abandon their marriage, but she knew it wasn’t going to be the end of her story. While navigating a contentious divorce and managing the daily demands as a newly single mother, she finds herself fighting the incredible pull she feels toward the handsome and charming lawyer, Theodore Smith-Harrington. She never expected to fall for someone so quickly after her divorce—and for her lawyer’s brother no less—but she also never realized how close to danger she was.

Theodore Smith-Harrington knows firsthand that money can’t buy you happiness. As a single dad, Theo has been focused on being the best for his young daughter, and he has never met anyone that was worth the risk of falling in love—until Savannah Callahan-Williams walked into his family’s law firm and stole his heart.

Just as Savannah and Theo think they are free to explore their intense connection, someone else is threatening to steal their happily ever after. They want to keep Savannah for themselves, and they are willing to do anything necessary—no matter the cost.

Soaring Free is a slow burn romantic suspense novel featuring a newly single mom heroine, a playful yet protective single dad that falls first, unexpected twists and turns, and a guaranteed happily ever after. This dual POV book includes adult themes and language. The Callahans is a series of interconnected standalone novels but best enjoyed if read in order.

She thought protecting him meant walking away—but when danger strikes, he’s her first call and only hope. 

If life has taught Cara Diaz anything, it’s that she can only count on herself. She will do whatever is necessary to protect the people she loves—even if it means denying her own happiness. Moving to the small town of Forrest Falls is Cara’s chance to pursue her dream of opening her own bakery, but keeping her niece and nephew safe will always come first. 

Living with secrets is heavy enough, and—despite what her heart wants—Cara is convinced that walking away from Max Riley is for his own good.

Getting dumped by Cara was the icing on the cake when Max’s entire world shifted earlier this year. But as the months pass, his feelings don’t fade for Cara, if anything, they’ve only grown deeper. Cara insists they’re better off as friends, but Max isn’t willing to give up on their shot at happily ever after just yet.

When her past catches up with her, Cara is out of options. With the lives of loved ones on the line, she must ask for help, even if it requires giving up her secrets in order to save innocent lives. 

Sugar, Sprinkles, and Secrets is a romantic suspense novella featuring a curvy bakery owner FMC that’s living with a major secret, and a protective, swoony MMC that wants a second chance at happily ever after with the woman he’s head over heels in love with.

This holiday season, Sugar, Sprinkles, and Secrets will unwrap unexpected twists and turns for readers in this dual POV novella featuring a single guardian, age gap (eleven years), found family, and a guaranteed happily ever after. This independent spinoff novella falls between books two and three of Liz Colbert’s series The Callahans.
