Luke shoved his cell phone in his pocket, ready to burst into a million pieces of fiery frustration. The culprit, same as always, was Renee. Her calls never came at a good time, just like now, minutes before he was to greet Becky’s niece, Julia Greene. But did Renee care? Not in the least. Luke furiously marched up to the lodge, inhaling the frigid winter air. It did nothing to cool him down. He entered the quiet lobby, scanning from right to left. The pressure of measuring up was on him. The last five days had been a challenge, but one that he felt he had conquered. So why did Becky’s niece have to come up to Idaho?

Stay With Me, Julia
Faithful Falls Book 1

She is only to be in Idaho for three months.


Her task is simple: run the lakeside resort in her aunt’s absence and return to her life in Los Angeles.

Easy. Or maybe not.

Ruggedly handsome Luke Hamill—Brook Trout Resort’s grounds manager—instantly piques her interest. A former Marine and divorced father of two, Luke introduces Julia to small town living and a passionate love like she’s never known. The mountain man is the total package: tender, strong, sexy, and honorable. He could be everything Julia wants… except for his problematic and meddling ex-wife.

Julia is smart, sensible, and irresistible, and she immediately captures Luke’s heart with her playful tenderness and saucy independence. Now he can’t imagine his life without her.

As Julia’s departure nears, Luke’s mission is clear: show her their love can conquer anything life throws their way.

Can Julia embrace her feelings for Luke, and will they be enough to keep her in Faithful Falls? Or will the challenges of a blended family make her abandon it all and head back to Southern California?

Stay With Me, Julia, is the first book in the Faithful Falls series, where those destined to be together prove love is stronger than the obstacles threatening to tear them apart.

Julia stretched out on the loveseat and was about to push play on the remote when a thump-thump-thump, startled her and she jumped to her feet. Julia, open the door!” Thump-thump-thump. “Julia!” Luke?” She swung the door wide open. “Luke! What are you doing here?” He stormed into her suite with the intensity of a pissed off bear. A snarl on his lip, his body tense and he may have growled. She was so shocked to see him; she couldn’t be sure. What in the hell is this?” He held the ring box in the palm of his hand.

Love Me, Lauren
Faithful Falls Book 2

She wants more than a one-night stand.


Lauren, a fiercely independent woman, is afraid to commit. Still, she secretly desires to fall in love.

Unexpectedly, Lauren is rattled when her past collides with her present, exposing her fears and insecurities. Once the truth is revealed, it may destroy Rick’s plans, her dreams, and their future.

Can they find the courage to face down Lauren's demons together and ignite the fire and passion that leads them to their HEA?

Love Me, Lauren is the second book in the Faithful Falls series. Reconnect with Luke and Julia and the quirky characters of this little Idaho tourist town.

Loneliness and vodka were a wicked combination, notorious for leading Lauren into a valley of bad choices. Loneliness made her stir crazy while vodka, as it did for many, numbed her emotions. Put the two together in a nightclub with strobing lights, gyrating bodies, and Lady Gaga belting out “Poker Face” and it could only mean one thing: one-night stand. Lauren blinked her eyes open. The warm hand on her thigh repulsed her as she lay still and tried to decide how to deal with it. Why hadn’t some science geek invented time travel? Probably for the same reason she never learned moderation; it simply did not exist in her lifetime. As she tried to roll out of bed without waking her bedmate, her long hair stopped her. She tugged on it firmly but carefully to not stir the naked man. This was the first time in her life she wished she had a pixie cut. Better yet, a shaved head. Mr. Hands groaned, turning toward the window and away from Lauren. She froze, sending up a silent prayer of thanks to anyone listening that he didn’t wake up. Continuing her escape, she slipped off the bed and tiptoed out of the bedroom, softly closing the door behind her. A shiver of disgust rippled through her, the cold air hitting her bare body making the entire situation worse. She ducked into her bathroom and pulled her bathrobe off the back of the door, slipping it on and tying a firm knot with the belt. What have I done?

Where were you born/grew up at?
I was born and raised in California among the dairies and orchards of the Central Valley. It was a great place to be a kid with beaches and mountains all within two hours of my home. Though I didn’t live in Southern California, I had relatives there and visited the area frequently.

What do you do to unwind and relax?
I like to jam to music while drinking wine or spend a weekend binge reading or watching a favorite TV show like Arrow or Lucifer.

Which of your novels can you imagine made into a movie?
I think my novella, Redemptive Love, would be an excellent movie! It’s a gritty, second-chance romance about inherited double-standards. Joseph and Kate are both Latinos who grew up in families where boys and girls were treated differently. They were high school sweethearts who broke up after a betrayal. Ten years later their paths cross again, and they attempt to reconnect. When ugly truths from their past are uncovered, the only way they’ll get a second chance at love is if they can forgive each other.

When did you first consider yourself a writer?
I received an honorable mention for short story that I submitted for a Writer’s Digest contest a couple years ago (2017, I think). It was a validating and proud moment for me. At that moment, I really felt like I accomplished something as a writer and that this could really go somewhere.
