Emancipating Alice Book Cover

A 2013 Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award Quarter-finalist! Emancipating Alice

Now that her husband, George, is dead, middle-aged homemaker Alice Owens thinks his oppressive reign over her life has ended–but she is wrong. George thwarts her attempts at freedom, mentally and physically, from beyond the grave.
* * *
Homemaker Alice Owens returns from a routine grocery-shopping trip to find her husband, George, slumped over their kitchen table, as dead as her love for him. Glad her strangled life with him has ended, she prepares for the arrival of her adult children–a daughter who hates her, and a needy son–who will inevitably show up for the funeral. But while cleaning out George’s belongings, Alice stumbles across enigmatic documents linking him to an African-American charity, and a heinous crime committed over thirty years prior.

Alice grapples not only with memories of her marriage’s turbulent past, but with murder and infidelity from George’s secret double life pushing themselves into her present.

Will Alice finally gain the freedom she’s always desired? Or will George’s secrets take her over the edge?

Originally published November 2012, this second edition was released July 2014.

Luck has followed him and his twin brother, Connor, their whole lives—even landing them in the billionaire’s club—and the luck of genetics ensured him that, with or without money, he would always have women after him.

But Brandon’s luck has just run out.
He has agreed to the terms of an annual challenge with his brothers to conquer a woman from a chosen group, and in the process, suddenly finds himself facing a conundrum: while carrying out the dare with one woman, he realizes his feelings for a childhood friend, Erica, goes far beyond friendship—especially now that she’s getting married.

Now, two gorgeous prizes are on the line, and it seems he can’t win one without losing the other. If he drops everything and goes after Erica, he loses the game. If he lets his fake relationship play out, he wins his older brother’s stunning Hawaiian beach house, but could lose Erica forever. Brandon is used to surfing along wherever life wants to take him, but will he finally interrupt the flow and take a necessary risk?

They can acquire whatever ‘toy’ or amusement they desire, and fly wherever they want, whenever they want, with practically whomever they want. Still, they want more—at least Alec, the eldest, does, and he has an idea how to get it.

To alleviate their eventual boredom with the easy life, the brothers propose specific games—dares, chases, and challenges—to each other every year on their birthday.
They’ve bedded supermodels, famous actresses and pop stars, but this year, Alec proposes they go after someone from their past—someone ‘normal’ yet elusive—and give them the time of their life.

Brandon and Connor have to think hard about their prospects, but Alec knows exactly who he wants go after: Dahlia Bridges—a girl who has haunted him since their playground days. He thinks she could be the missing puzzle piece in his otherwise full, decadent life and he will do everything in his power to make her his.

NEW RELEASE! Leap of Faith: A New Adult Romance Short

Leap of Faith Book Cover

Lisa Kelly is making her way through college, hanging on to a codependent relationship she no longer really wants to be in for the sake of its familiarity.

Daniel is a fellow student, a stranger, and nothing more than a blip on her radar until one day, she discovers something about him that makes him more than a blip, and she starts wondering what it would be like to be with him.

She is terrified to even think about leaving her possessive boyfriend and losing all that comes with him: the easy companionship, all their mutual friends, and her carefully constructed social life.

But thoughts of Daniel begin consuming her so much, she writes a passionate poem about it to purge, hoping that putting her feelings and confusion out into the universe will help bring clarity.

The morning after she writes her poem, however, she realizes something odd: she starts hearing things as if by telepathy—a voice seeming to come from Daniel, telling her how much he wants her, letting her know it’s safe to leave her boyfriend and try her luck with him.

She wonders if Daniel is there just to remind her that there is life beyond her dead relationship, that possibilities abound in the real world.

But what about the voice she has started hearing? Is her mind playing tricks on her? Has wanting Daniel made her fool myself into thinking what she wishes he would say is what he is actually thinking? Or is Daniel really the one, and the universe has found an odd way to get the message to her?

A BWWM Interracial Romance, “Leap of Faith” is a novelette of about 14,000 words. It is a light tale of budding romance with a dash of telepathy, and the second in the sci-fi Bite-Sized Romance series.

Released 1/8/14, and currently available on Amazon and other channels!
