Kissing Creek

Dixie might belong in Kissing Creek, but she's got too many reasons to leave.A decade ago, I had a plan. I'd graduate high school and make my place in the small southern town I belonged to. I'd leave my daddy's run-down single-wide and ignore him when he got ugly. I'd send my mama to voicemail when she called from her fancy life in Chicago. Mostly, I'd wait for Deke to get through college and come back to me and the life we'd build together. I didn't realize how suddenly plans can change.

Dixie's found her way back home again, and this time she wants to stay.All it took was four days. Less than a week, and my emotional cocktail of love and concern was stirred up again-for Deke, and my hometown. The big career I'd built was no substitute for the quiet life I left behind. Deke loved me, supported me, wanted only the best for me. Kissing Creek raised me, knew me, and when it was time, let me go. Now the idea of returning to my hometown fills me with joy and hope. And Deke? His warm touch and caring heart might be the biggest incentive of all.Deke's life is in Kissing Creek. And there's plenty of room for Dixie.Yeah, okay, I have a pretty good life here in Kissing Creek. But I'd pack it all up and chase Dixie out west for a chance to live out my dreams with her. She always has kept me on my toes, though, especially when it comes to her actions. So why am I surprised when she shows up again, and with a plan? I'm not crazy about it but I'll play along. She wants to build a life of her own here. I can help. She wants to date? We'll date. But beware, Dixie, I have plans too.

She's a journalist who just tanked her career.He's a baseball star hiding from a scandal.Neither of them planned on a Halloween wedding meet-cute… but the sparks are impossible to ignore.When Emma Grayce Murphy ditches Boston to stand by her bestie's side, the last thing she expects is to collide with the one man the tabloids are hunting. Pro baseball phenom, Eli Masterson. One look across the pumpkin-lit town square and she's under his skin. One kiss, and they're both in deeper than they should be.But there's one little problem: Eli thinks she might be the journalist who trashed his reputation. And if that's true, their instant connection could vanish faster than a ghost at dawn.With small-town charm, Halloween vibes, and a swoony athlete who falls hard and fast. Spellbound is a witty, steamy instalove romance that proves love can be magical.If you're brave enough to believe in it.

The Book NerdI spent my high school Friday nights shaking my pompoms in a small town where all the boys played football. Or liked football. Or pretended to like football to score points with the girls who shook pompoms. And they were all jerks. Especially to a socially awkward girl who only joined the squad on a dare. College was my escape. I was there to get my degree, maybe date a math geek or a history buff, then come back home and open my own bookstore. The one thing I knew for certain . . . no more football players.Enter Flynn Nichols.The JockThe morning Colleen McAllister dumped iced coffee down my shorts was the day she finally noticed me. I'd seen her around since her freshman orientation three years ago. Of course I had because hello, who could miss her beautiful smile and lithe athlete's body? But what did it take to get her to see me? Signing up as her tutor wasn't going to be enough. Apparently, she had a thing about athletes. Then-shockingly-she asked me to pose as her boyfriend for a hearts and flowers filled Valentine's festival back home in Kissing Creek.Sign me up.
