Summary: Love isn’t always easy to find. Sometimes the cost of finding the wrong love can make one reluctant to accept a true love when it comes along. Sometimes it requires Help from Beyond... Avery Langhorn has a terrible track record when it comes to choices in men. He’s also had someone watching over him without his knowledge. Avery was born with a heart defect that wasn’t detected until he was a teen and nearly died. The kindness of a stranger’s family allows him to live his life without the possibility of an untimely death, and Avery hopes to somehow pay back the debt he owes his donor, but he’s not sure how. There’s been a voice in his head since he woke from surgery, leading him down a path with protective advice along the way. It strikes Avery as odd that the voice doesn’t sound like anyone he’s ever met, but it’s always full of knowledge and good advice. The voice has steered Avery clear of heartbreak more than once—that is, when Avery listens to it. When a stranger comes along to rescue him during a freak accident, the voice tells Avery the man is important to him and he should give the guy a chance. Is the voice right, or is it just Avery’s overactive imagination? When Avery meets the owner of the voice, should he listen to it, even when it seems impossible that the voice is right? This work of fiction is a standalone novel without a cliffhanger that ends in an HEA.

Summary: For All The Right Reasons introduced Ben and Simon Gallo, the two brothers who together created what would become the legendary rock band Reckless. For every step towards glory which Ben took on their rise to fame, Simon's footsteps faltered along that same journey. Nothing he did seemed to measure up and it was one misstep after another, until Simon no longer knew the man he was looking at in the mirror. Substance abuse covered up his anger and far too many poor decisions to count concealed what he really wanted in his life: acceptance and self-love along with a meaningful and committed relationship with a soul mate. Beat Of His Own Drums is Simon's story, and gives insight to who Simon really is as a man and why he did the things he did to try and find his happiness. Everyone deserves a second chance at life and even at love, and Simon is ready for his. He's walked the walk and talked the talk, now Simon wants the world to know why he's always had to go through life using the beat from his own drums to guide him. This 31,000+ word M/M novella has an HEA ending, and is a follow-up story to For All The Right Reasons, M/F, which I would recommend reading first. These stories have now become a series, and a full-length novel will follow Beat Of His Own Drums, which will release in the future to continue Simon and Ben's story.

Summary: Jingle Bell I’m an elf, but not a good one. I’m too tall. My ears aren’t pointy enough. I can’t make toys. Basically, I’m a failure. I’ve grown up with Nic and Holly—a/k/a Santa and Mrs. Claus—which puts a considerable amount of pressure on me, especially since I’ve been kicked out of every creative department at Santa Claus, Inc., Int’l. In a last-ditch effort, I’m sent to the Special Case Unit, where I’m assigned a family going through a crisis. I’m charged with bringing comfort and cheer to a special little girl who needs all of it she can get. I don’t expect to meet a wonderful human man who appears to have the weight of the world on his broad shoulders, and I certainly don’t expect to want to help him carry it. The case is difficult, but I’m dedicated. I definitely don’t anticipate falling in love along the way, either. Trick McNichol In my world, there are no silver linings—that is, until Jinson Bell, a nursing assistant, walks into my daughter’s hospital room and gives her something to smile about. Going into the holiday season with a sick child is as heartbreaking as it sounds. My sweet little girl is diagnosed with a horrible disease where the treatment is doubly as harsh. I’m nearly at the end of my rope regarding what to do when one afternoon, I round a corner and meet an incredible guy I’m not expecting. Jinson is kind, adorable, much younger than me, and he has a sweet tooth like none I’ve ever seen. He knows what we need before we need it, and it’s far too easy to fall in love with him. The timing is horrible, but Jin is there when I need someone to hold me together. When he laughs, it’s like bells are ringing, and when I find out he’s only at the hospital temporarily for training, I have to find a way to make him mine.
