I took a step backward, stepped on a marble, and lost my balance.

Oh crap. I windmilled my arms, falling backward…

Into a set of strong, muscular arms.

Instantly, I was engulfed by the scent of citrus, spice, and wood shavings.

That combination shouldn’t be so enticing, but every time I smelled it, my belly coiled. I knew instantly who’d caught me. Every muscle in my body tensed.

I turned my head and looked up into gold-flecked, green eyes.

“Big city, I’ve warned you that you’re risking serious injury wearing those ridiculous ankle breakers.”

Everett Murray.

The flannel-shirt-and-jeans-wearing bane of my existence.

If you're looking for something to read this weekend, then check out NEVER AND ALWAYS.

She’s a driven city girl who’s not staying long.

He’s a laid-back mountain man who’s never leaving.

Sparks are flying, and its high heels versus flannel shirts.

Piper
As the COO for Langston Hotels, I travel the world, but for the moment, I’m stuck in Windward, Colorado.

The town is small, has snow (shudder), and did I mention small? Once I finish renovations to our latest acquisition, I’m gone.

One man has become the bane of my existence: head of hotel maintenance, Everett Murray.

Does the man wear his uniform? No. He wears awful flannel shirts and jeans. So maybe the denim fits his long body like a glove, and the flannel stretches over wide shoulders, but that’s beside the point.

I need the hotel to meet Langston standards, I need this job done so I can move on, and I won’t let Everett slow me down.

Everett
It took a tragedy for me to realize Windward was home. I love my job. No endless hours, no stress, no missing out on what’s important.

Then Piper Ellis struts into the hotel in her tight skirts and high heels. The woman is a high-maintenance headache I don’t need.

But when her troublemaker brother blows into town, I see another side of Piper. The softer side she keeps hidden. When his troubles make her a target, I’m there to keep her safe.

She might be a city girl, and I’m a mountain man to the bone, but neither of us can fight the force of our attraction.

Still, I know that one day she’ll pack her designer suitcase and leave, because everyone knows opposites might attract, but they don’t stay together.

I'm excited to share my new German release with you. The final book in the Unbroken Heroes series featuring Parker and Jenna is out in German today.

Parker Conroy ist nach Alaska gezogen, um allein zu sein. Seine Militärkarriere bei den Ghost Ops endete mit einer Explosion und drei Wochen Folter in Gefangenschaft. Er hat Narben davongetragen, eine Aversion gegen Menschen und Panik vor Berührungen.

Als US Marshal Jenna Sheridan an seine Tür klopft, will er nicht hören, was die attraktive Frau zu sagen hat. Aber das interessiert sie nicht.

Ein gefährlicher Verbrecher ist auf der Flucht – und er ist ein abtrünniger Ghost-Ops-Soldat.

Jenna Sheridan ist US Marshal mit Leib und Seele. Ihre Vergangenheit verlangt ihr den Drang ab, etwas zu beweisen. Liebe, Beziehungen und alles sonst, was sie aufhalten könnte, interessieren sie nicht.

Sie braucht Hilfe, den blutrünstigen Mörder zu fassen. Sie braucht Parker Conroy.

Der mürrische, athletische Einzelgänger strahlt eine düstere Anziehung aus, die sie nicht ignorieren kann, aber er besitzt exakt jene Fähigkeiten, die sie braucht, um den Flüchtigen aufzuspüren. Auf ihrer Mission sind sie gezwungen, im selben Bett zu schlafen, im selben Zelt und Tag und Nacht zusammenzuarbeiten.

Während sie sich ihrem Zielsubjekt nähern, schafft Jenna es, hinter Parks Fassade zu blicken. Dort entdeckt sie einen Mann, der sie wie kein zweiter in Versuchung bringt. Einen Mann, der alles tun wird, um sie zu beschützen.

Sollten sie diese Mission überleben, dann weiß Jenna, dass sie vor der größten Herausforderung ihres Lebens stehen wird – ihren vernarbten Helden davon zu überzeugen, der Liebe eine Chance zu geben.

Attending the charity masquerade ball was my chance to let loose for one night. And as soon as I see him , I let the handsome stranger show me the hottest night of my life.

Except then I learn he isn’t a stranger.

He’s my new boss.

Tessa
I’m Windward born and bred. I love my family, my town, and my dream job managing my hotel. But now we’ve been bought by Langston Hotels. Cue stress and panic.

I’ll do anything to make sure they don’t ruin the charm and turn my hotel into a slick, modern, soulless shell.

What I wasn’t counting on was jet-setting hotelier Ambrose Langston. Handsome, bossy, with a wide workaholic streak.

It doesn’t take me long to realize he’s also the man I let do very wicked things to me.

Ro
Transforming the Windward Resort is next on my plan. I’m on a mission to make Langston Hotels thrive and rub my father’s face in it.

What I never expected was the locals of Windward being less than happy with my acquisition. And I definitely wasn’t expecting Tessa Ashford.

I’ve always been professional with my employees, unlike my philandering father, but smart, beautiful Tessa—the mysterious woman who rocked my world—makes it a challenge.

Working side by side, all I can think about is her. I never stay. I work, then leave. But she has me questioning everything.

Then the strange “accidents” start happening. Someone doesn’t want me in Windward.

Now, I need to keep Tessa safe from whoever wants me gone.
