Kiss Me at Christmas is back in stores with a new line-up!
Happy Half-Christmas Day!
A new edition of KMAC is here!
Disclaimer: If you bought this collection when it released a few years ago, there were a couple different books in it versus now.
I’ve removed When We Were Young and Make You Feel My Love because they’re no longer published - so today’s set has my current Christmas books.
KISS ME AT CHRISTMAS
A Holiday Romance Collection
Christmas has a way of making minor miracles happen when you least expect it.
This set includes five contemporary romances where happily-ever-after couldn’t happen without the holidays—the most wonderful time of the year.
THE BASSIST GETS SNOWED IN
A ROCKSTAR CHRISTMAS WEDDING
THE DRUMMER FALLS FIRST
CHRISTMAS AT JAKE AND BETH’S
THE BEST FRIEND’S CHRISTMAS CONFESSION
This collection is intended for readers eighteen and over due to adult language, sexual content, and adult situations.
Amazon | Apple | Barnes and Noble | Eden Books | Google Play | Kobo/Kobo Plus | Smashwords | Now discounted to $9.99!
Please make sure the store is showing this cover and this blurb before purchasing, or I can’t guarantee you’re getting the newest file.
Enjoy reading!

Stuff Your E-Reader is BACK! Free romance books today only!
Merry Christmas, lovely readers!
I did a thing.

That means you can read ALL of Dylan and Jen's love story for absolutely free.
Zilch. Nada. Zero pennies.

Are you a voracious romance reader?

I cannot promise these books will be free past today, so please act quickly. Amazon, especially, has a habit of reverting them to paid at the worst timing for the author and readers.
A Rockstar Christmas Wedding
Smashwords | Apple | Barnes and Noble | Kobo | Amazon | Google Play |
Blurb:
Organizing a Christmas Day wedding in two weeks is insane.
Dylan proposed the week of Thanksgiving and suggested a Christmas wedding. We met on Christmas Eve, but he means this year. It’s a private argument I’m winning—until he tells his rockstar friends and their wives who are my best gals. Now everyone’s excited!
Complicating things? I took a pregnancy test the day before that proposal, Dylan lives in L.A., and I live in Big Bear. That baby’s coming in six-ish months, so we need a house, which I have on the mountain—we met in a snowstorm—but he doesn’t want the two-hour commute.
It’s the first big test of our relationship and it scares me.
Which will win—my practical side or the magic of the season?
This story is intended for readers 18 and over due to adult language, sexual content, and adult situations.
A Rockstar Christmas Wedding:
*Sequel to The Bassist Gets Snowed In
*Very steamy
*Found family
*Rockstars
*Big city vs small town
*HEA
