She's fighting to save her family's legacy.

Thea Jones has poured everything into The Sweetheart Inn - her grandmother's legacy, her late grandfather's roses, her whole heart. When corporate sends word they're "reviewing the portfolio," she knows what that means: prove the inn's worth by Valentine's Day or lose everything. The last thing she needs is to train another clueless seasonal hire who can't fold a fitted sheet to save his life. Even if he does have unfairly gracious hands. And shoulders. And a smile that makes her forget she swore off charming men forever.

He's hiding who he really is.

Nick Stanton didn't mean to lie. He came to Cupid Corner to assess his grandfather's property - a sentimental acquisition the board wants sold. But when the inn's gorgeous, stubborn manager mistakes him for the missing help, he makes a split-second choice: What if, just once, someone wanted him for who he is instead of what he owns? The problem is, every day he doesn't tell her the truth, he falls a little harder. And the woman teaching him to fold hospital corners has no idea she's training her own boss.

When the truth comes out, will love be enough?

As Valentine's Day approaches and the Sweethearts Dance draws near, Nick's secret becomes impossible to keep. When Thea discovers the man she's falling for owns every piece of her world, she'll have to decide: Is he just another powerful man who used her, or is he the one person who finally sees the real her - Tabitha, the girl who changed her name but never stopped believing in love?

ACCIDENTAL VALENTINE is a steamy small-town romance featuring a billionaire who's terrible at laundry but excellent at grand gestures, a heroine who guards her heart like a fortress, meddling cafe owners who know everything, a cat named Eros with impeccable taste, and a Valentine's Day you'll never forget.

In the aftermath of her grandmother's funeral, Rachel Jones is drowning in casseroles and color-coded grief.

When Nick Stanton's impossibly competent executive assistant, Kevin Park, steps into the goat shed to help and ends up with her lips on his, Rachel expects the usual disappointment.

Instead, Kevin kisses her like he's been thinking about it for months — calm, deliberate, devastating — then walks away. Because she's grieving. Because she's twenty. Because he refuses to be something she regrets.

Three months of silence. One seven-word note. And now Kevin is back at the Sweetheart Inn, determined to do this the right way — full honesty, no games, no secrets. The exact opposite of everything that happened the last time a Stanton Holdings man showed up in Cupid's Corner with something to hide.

But Rachel has built walls higher than the goat pen Kevin's constructing with his own hands. She's got city plans, a color-coded filing system for her feelings, and zero interest in falling for a man who already walked away once. Kevin has rules — he follows her lead, always. And the inn has secrets buried under David's bench that will force them both to choose: play it safe, or stay together on purpose.

She wants to leave. He keeps showing up. The rooster has opinions about both.

A slow-burn, age-gap romance with competence kink, goat-related comedy, a legacy secret that changes everything, and the kind of emotional heat that builds until you can't breathe. For readers who love devoted heroes who fall first and never waver, snarky heroines who organize their feelings into filing cabinets, and small-town inns where choosing to stay is its own kind of courage.

He's a runaway prince. She's sworn off charming liars. One blizzard is about to change everything.

Crown Prince Alexander of Finmark has seventy-two hours before his life belongs to a crown, a country, and an arranged marriage he never wanted. So when a wrong turn during a Colorado blizzard lands him at a cozy family-run ski chalet—where nobody recognizes his face and everyone assumes "Alex Hunt" is just another ski bum who can't work a coffee maker—he decides to stay.

Just until the roads clear. Just until he remembers what it feels like to be seen instead of scheduled.

What he doesn't count on? The gorgeous ski instructor with the killer curves and zero tolerance for brooding guests who won't try her famous hot cocoa.

Caroline Crandall gave up her Olympic snowboarding dreams for a man who wasn't worth the sacrifice—and she's sworn off charming smooth-talkers for good. But there's something about the infuriatingly handsome stranger snowed in at her family's chalet that makes her want to crack him open like a walnut.

Maybe it's the way he fixes the broken Christmas lights without being asked. Maybe it's how he lets her five-year-old nephew beat him at Candy Land six times in a row. Or maybe it's the heat in his eyes when he watches her carve down the mountain—like she's the first real thing he's wanted in years.

But when a viral photo exposes Alex's true identity, Caroline must decide: is she brave enough to risk her heart on a man whose future was never his to give?

And is he brave enough to finally choose love over legacy?

Royally Snowed In is a steamy standalone holiday romance featuring a secret prince, forced proximity, found family chaos, and enough Christmas magic to melt even the frostiest royal heart. This book contains open-door love scenes and a guaranteed happily ever after.
