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.
Could
it be that simple?
Enter
Rick, ex-Marine and single dad, who is looking for a fresh start in
Faithful Falls. He has big plans to open a brewery, and no time for
love. When he crosses paths with Lauren, her formidable lure is
irritating yet irresistible, and sparks fly.
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?

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.
