Iron Orchids

Motorcycle deputy Sadie Lazar is no damsel in distress. After all, the only man capable of getting a job done is a woman. She loves her life of independence. But when she is on scene at a mass car pile-up and finds a missing child, a pair of piercing blue eyes changes her world. Widower and single dad Dr. Ryan Montgomery is in over his head. It's been four years since his wife's death, and his former mother-in-law refuses to let him move on. When he finally starts dating, an accident makes him realize that dating a cop could put him right back in a world of grief and loss - a place he barely survived the first time around. Now, two people who are used to saving others are forced to save themselves - one from a lonely future and one from a broken past.

Sometimes our paths cross with people that are unforgettable. Like the first sheriff who pulled me over for speeding, The first guy to kiss me senseless on the hood of a car. And the one man that promised me forever. For me it was Deputy Carter Lang. Our paths didn't just cross, they collided. But his love wasn't enough to save me when I got sick. I had no choice but to walk away, he didn't need half a girlfriend. Left with only a memory-he was seared into my heart. Now I'm back, after all this time wondering... How will it feel to see him again? Will I see him again? Orlando is a big city, we may never run into each other, right? Wrong. Now I'm left trying to understand... Can the ALMOST of the past we had turn into the forever we always wanted?

Desperate times called for desperate measures. I knew this was rock bottom. Sneaking into a stranger's house night after night. But I would do anything for my daughter. We were safe...and so was my secret. Until I picked the wrong house. Damn security footage. Anyone else would have had me arrested. Good thing Damon Christakos was not just any other man. He saw past what the cameras captured, And I saw a man who needed me. The impact of his trust, and the fire of his touch was undeniable. He gave me sanctuary. Offered me independence. Now, I'm an invited guest into his home. And the only thing that is rock...well you get the idea.

I always thought that opposites attract was a load of crap. Until my biker boots led me straight to a gorgeous, polished suit. His fancy University was a far cry from my Trade school. We couldn't be more different if we tried. His smooth balanced out my rough edges. When my world was turned upside down, and all was lost, He took me in his arms... promised to help me find my way. Unfortunately, my journey was tougher than he had imagined. When nothing goes right, look who's left.-- Difficult roads often lead to beautiful destinations... Will that destination be in Ian's arms? God, I hope so.

Drunk dialing at its finest.... All it took was a couple bottles of champagne...and a fully charged cellphone, for me to go from widow to call girl. Talking to a stranger in the middle of the night was the push I needed. To feel something again. Something safe. It's not like I will ever run into him. We don't even know each other...yet. Aaron Skye returns my call the next day, sending my well-ordered world for a spin. Now I'm sober. After years in the shadows, I'm starting to feel alive. A sense of normalcy. Unfortunately, Aaron is not who I had imagined. And his life is anything but normal. Can I put the phone down and step into his world long enough to realize that what started out as careless whispers has smoldered into something more? A wrong number could be my Mr. Right.

A gorgeous man, a sexy fireman, and a crazed gunman walked into a Drag Queen restaurant on a busy Sunday morning. It sounded like a joke until... The shooter fled, I was left bleeding on the floor, and the sexy as hell fireman peered into my eyes. Why couldn't I have choked and got mouth to mouth resuscitation? This was our story. He was rugged boots and a red fireman helmet, who kept more than fire gear in his closet. Most days, I was glitter stilettos and red lipstick, and the only thing in my closet were a couple hundred pairs of fabulous shoes. But together, we created a home.

I grew up on the wrong side of the tracks, an area that even the cops avoided. The only light in my dark was the boy next door. He was my hero. And I was his Sunshine; at least, that is what he called me. Liam Kane wasn't just my neighbor, he was my first and only crush. He looked after me when I couldn't look after myself. When he disappeared, my life returned to an endless grey. Now, after all these years, we're face to face. But we're standing on opposite sides of the law. He's a part of the Heretics MC, and I'm a deputy. I'm all grown up and more than capable of handling myself. But I dream about Liam's capable hands. Everything has changed...except my feelings for him.
