Working the ranch is the only thing I live for. It's hard work, long days, but it's all I know. I like being alone and being out here in the valleys of the mountains gives me the seclusion I crave. So when a gorgeous stranger takes shelter in one of my barns, I wonder how the hell she got there.

A truth for a truth? Becoming a father was never part of the plan, but then a one-night stand shows up with a three-month-old baby girl and completely upturns my life. Now I'm a single dad, and I have no idea what I am doing.

To the world, I'm the town sweetheart. A good girl. I have the perfect life. But that's all a lie.

Virtuous. Kind. Patient. These were words never associated with Gabriel Saint. He was a monster. The devil that haunted the city of Redhill. And he had found me....

I always knew darkness crept through this city; like a shadow, it never really goes away, always watching, always waiting. People sin and people kill; it's a way of life. I just never expected to be thrown into the middle of a war I had no hope of surviving....

They've taken my girl. My little bird. I'll do whatever it takes to get her back, even if it means I have to level this city to the ground. They've woken the monster, and I'll be damn sure my face is the last one they see before I send them all to hell....

My best friend's little sister. Entirely off-limits. A craving I cannot resist. Savannah Levine is the one woman I cannot have and the only one I want. I keep her at arm's length, but there's no denying that she is an addiction I'm too weak to ignore. One taste. One touch.

They see me as the joker. The charmer. The playboy. But it is just a mask I wear to hide the demons that dance in the dark. My life is too dangerous for me to fall in love. Until Willow Stanton landed in my lap. Literally.

They say you can't tame a monster. That you can't love a villain. One of those things is true, the other is false. Hunter had always been the villain in my twisted fairy tale, he was never the white knight, and he only made that clearer the night he betrayed me....

There is no room for sweet or innocent in my world. My life was full of darkness, greed, and corruption. I made a vow to my sister that the people who harmed her all those years ago would pay, and the only currency I would accept was their lives. Until she arrived....

When I met him, I didn't realize who he was. I still didn't when I let him take me back to his hotel for the night. I never expected to see him again. Until I found him on my father's couch, revealing he and I are connected in more ways than simply a one-night stand....

These Rough Waters is a dark, smalltown romance. It can be listened to as a standalone but is book 1 of a series that will progress with interconnected characters. It has dark elements that some listeners may not be comfortable with. A full list of these to come....

Something was stolen from me. So, I stole something back. And I have been running ever since. When you have nothing to live for, you search for those hidden moments that truly make you feel alive. What I hadn't expected to find was a piece of my past buried in the underground pits of Redhill....

Malakai Farrow needed a wife, and I would have done anything to save the last piece of my family. Now I'm here, in his house, seeing firsthand how dangerous this man is. He's merciless, brutal, and cold. And my new husband.
