What if your head and your heart were at odds?

Catrina Banks wakes up with bruises on her body and no memories from the last six months. An illustrious painter, she feels as though someone has stolen the colors from her canvas.

Under the teeming hospital lights and white coats crowding around her, Catrina faces questions she has no answers to. How did she end up in a city far from home? What was she doing there? Where is her phone, her ID, and most of all: Who assaulted her?

Struggling with intermittent flashbacks, Catrina tries to piece her life together. Cradling a gray hoodie and wedding bands she has no memory of, Cat returns home with her boyfriend Danny.

Even after she’s safe at home, she can’t shake the weird feeling that something is off, nor can she ignore the haunting glimpses she gets of a different life with another man.

A romantic thriller, Discordant Memories is impossible to put down.

The best way to meet a man is . . . breaking into his house?

Lina Herrera hates risks. With her lukewarm relationship and safe job at a popular Santa Barbara resort, she convinces herself that she’s content—even if it means putting her dreams of opening her own photography studio on the back burner.

But when she lets her best friend talk her into retrieving a lost trinket by breaking into her childhood home, her “safe” life is quickly turned on its head.

Reece is a charming man with a mysterious past, and he doesn’t seem bothered when he finds her sneaking around his new house. But Lina’s aversion to risk-taking threatens to smother their unlikely spark and scare her away before they can get to know one another.

After changes at the resort throw her career into doubt, Lina struggles to find the courage to step out of her comfort zone, both at work and in the bedroom. Can she overcome her fears and build a career of her own? And will she find the passionate, fulfilling relationship that she never knew she craved?

A fun and heartwarming contemporary romance novel, A Liar and a Thief is a memorable read that will sweep you off your feet.

    He’s her enemy . . . and her new roommate.

Blake Thomas has no patience for weddings. As the general manager of a popular Santa Barbara resort, she sees far too many lovestruck couples pass through her doors. She’d rather curl up with a book or go geocaching than try to find “the one.” 

After an unfortunate turn of events leaves Blake virtually homeless, she’s forced to move in with a man she’d rather keep tucked away in her past.

Sal is a talented chef with a large bank balance and an even bigger ego. He promises to take Blake in while she navigates the real estate market—on one condition. She has to pretend to be his girlfriend to impress his estranged parents. 

Caught up in a tumultuous fake relationship and determined to avoid reawakening painful memories, Blake decides to focus on everything else she’s balancing: renovations at work, her best friend’s wedding, and an offer for a major promotion.

As long-buried sparks ignite, Blake begins to realize that their scheme is becoming all too real. But Sal is hiding more secrets than she ever imagined . . . .

 Can Blake heal from her past and find the courage to open her heart? Or will her cynicism and distrust keep her from taking her chance at true love?

The second novel of The Pacifica Resort, Love and Reservations will have your heart fluttering from beginning to end.
