#HotAndHandy

Everyone in town loves the handsome handyman. 

Everyone except his new neighbor. 

Out of jail and desperate for work, Vincent scrapes by with odd jobs. He's hired to help the gray-haired lady move in next door but stumbles when he finds nothing old or feeble about Hilary. 

Rejected by her husband after her body rejected implants, the breast cancer survivor shuts out Vincent until a kitchen appliance crisis forces her to accept his help. Convinced that he could do better, she keeps the younger man at a distance, but he persists, building her confidence and coaxing her out of her colorless cocoon. 

With the hot handyman by her side and in her bed, Hilary develops a community program bringing at-risk youth into the building trades. But not everyone wants to see the ex-con succeed. An old foe is determined to derail Vincent, and Hilary is caught in the chaos. 

She’s ready to retreat. Ready to leave everything—including Vincent—behind. 

Can he convince her to stay?

#HotAndHandy is a small-town, reverse age-gap romance between two people starting over after being kicked to the curb by life and love.

She will grit her teeth and smile at the snobby and suspicious CFO if it means landing the contract. But she won’t put on a dress and definitely not heels. 

 Jane Beckett bends over backward to build her family's event-planning firm. Accommodating demanding clients while protecting her shy, damaged sister, her personal life is permanently on hold until an arrogant bean counter appears uninvited at an event to ruffle Jane's feathers. 

Liam Cross believes every woman has a hidden agenda, one that involves taking advantage of clueless billionaires like his best friend and coworker. After Jane challenges him to play paintball, he realizes he might be wrong and wants more time with the fiercely independent party planner. 

She is willing to let him in until Liam's overprotective nature hurts her sister and breaks Jane's trust. 

As egos and miscommunication threaten relationships between friends, family and partners, can Jane accept that Liam offers his heart with no strings attached?

Set in Seattle, Grand Gestures is a closed-door, opposites attract, sweet romance with a feisty, stubborn woman and a perfectly pressed, pencil-pushing executive who doesn't believe happily ever after exists. 

How was she supposed to know she needed to support herself? 

That's what trust funds are for. 

 Self-described influencer, Delia Duncan has never worn the same outfit twice nor has she ever earned a paycheck. 

She's a pampered princess who lives for shopping, organizing her wardrobe, taking selfies and attending parties ... until now. 

Before her next birthday, she must become self-sufficient, or she will lose her trust fund completely. 

Seeking shelter in a used bookstore, she meets Calvin Jimmy, an Indigenous ghostwriter overwhelmed by the impending closure of his family's long-standing business. 

To Cal's chagrin, Delia's meddling leads to surprise sales and annoying introspection.

Guilt and shame engulf Delia when she learns the source of her family's fortune. 

 When is it too late to right a wrong?

Set in Seattle, Fraudulent Trust is a closed-door bookstore romance featuring a sunshiny socialite and a grumpy ghostwriter whose pasts are linked in ways they never imagined. 

They’re practically strangers, but they could be roommates.

What could possibly go wrong?

Clutching her MBA, Connie Ortega is set to take on Seattle’s non-profit world but still lives in her parents’ house. Still stares at the bedroom wallpaper she picked out when she was ten.

She leaps at the opportunity for a place of her own only to discover the two-bedroom apartment is promised to someone else. To Sid Fraser, the cute, quiet, Indigenous woodcarver whose infrequent smiles make her heart go pitter-pat.

They agree to share the apartment and partner up to manage the building when the owner goes on vacation.

Easy money, right?

They didn’t expect meddlesome old women hell-bent to set Sid up with their granddaughters.

They didn’t expect an ice storm to disrupt Thanksgiving plans.

They didn’t expect family traditions to fall by the wayside.

They didn’t expect to become more than just roommates.
