The world is stressful. Anxiety & frustration is high and patience is low. So, I created a short sweet collection of my books that people have told me they read to cheer themselves up and break reading slumps. These short sweet stories are designed to make you swoon, fan yourself, giggle, root for our MCs and escape the world for about ninety minutes at a time. BEAR WITH ME Chellie, a disgraced Instagram influencer uses a mountain retreat in an attempt to rehab her image with the help of Tanner, a grumpy lumberjack, who is more than he appears to be. BLIND DATE WITH A BOOK BOYFRIEND Meet Jordyn, a computer programmer from NYC who came to Culver City, CA for the interview of a lifetime & Mike, the cute, funny & charming guy she meets in a bookstore. RESOLUTIONS When Jane set out to finish her list of New Year's resolutions falling in love with her best friend, Mike wasn't on the list.

Hi, I’m Celestine Woods, most people call me Chellie. If you are one of my 850K followers, you might know me as the super successful Instagram influencer, but more than likely you probably know me as the woman who got dumped by her former rockstar boyfriend, who then publicly professed his love for his new girlfriend in a song on Spotify before getting engaged a week later. While I think I had a perfectly rational response to this news but my sponsors didn’t agree. Apparently no one wants to buy expensive skin cream from the woman who had an alcohol-fueled meltdown at the biggest New Year’s Eve party in the world. Now, I’m at Black Bear Mountain Lodges, a cabin resort in the Catskill Mountains, to relax, recharge, and rehab my image and— tossing in a couple sponsored posts. The only hitch in my plan for R&R is the sexy, yet grumpy, lumberjack who runs the resort. His people skills leave a lot to be desired and it’s no wonder I’m the only guest at this place. ​ I know nothing about living in the mountains and he knows nothing about marketing and publicity. His resort and my image could both use a little TLC, so we formed a truce and teamed up to help each other.    Between my social media know-how, my smartphone, a gorgeous grumpy mountain man and a strangely friendly bear that keeps coming to my window every night, we can get this all turned around right? Who’s ready for project #ChellieInTheWoods? A disgraced Instagram influencer uses a mountain retreat in an attempt to rehab her image with the help of a grumpy lumberjack, who is more than he appears to be. This novelette has NO cheating and is a standalone, contemporary shifter romantic comedy full of alphas, steam, and sarcasm.

Hi, I’m Jordyn. I flew from New York to Culver City, CA to interview for the job of a lifetime. When I walked into The Bookstore, I only wanted a steamy romance or two to help pass the time before my big meeting. I walked out with a gorgeous and sweet, cinnamon roll who was more funny and charming than all of my favorite book boyfriends combined, which definitely wasn’t the plan. But Mike was irresistible, and the time we spent together exploring Culver City was more fun than I’ve had in a long time. But I’m smart enough to know if something feels too good to be true, it probably is. I mean, Happily Ever Afters are just for fairy tales and romance novels … right?

Lisa Betancourt has been my neighbor for months, but I didn’t know she existed until the night she threatened me with a baseball bat. To be fair, I kinda had it coming. That was also the night my entire life changed—my biological mother passed away suddenly and mysteriously, leaving behind a surprise baby. The moment I laid eyes on CJ’s chubby face, I knew I would do anything for him. What I didn’t know was how to take care of him. Fortunately, Lisa turned out to be my salvation in more ways than one. She stepped in and changed everything. The more time I spend with her, the more I hope the change can be permanent. Unfortunately, the pressure at work and unraveling the mystery of my mother’s past makes me wonder how that could be possible… Cole Simmons lives in the brownstone next to mine and was an insensitive jerk, or at least I thought he was until he got custody of his baby brother, who’s just as adorable as he is.

I moved to New York to start a new life, adjust to my new normal and heal from heartbreak. Unfortunately, my heart didn’t get the memo, and the more time I spent with Cole and the impossibly sweet CJ, the more I start to wonder if Cole isn’t the only one in over his head… This full-length novel can be read as a standalone but is the third book in the Everything’s Better series.

For fans of B. K. Borison and Sarah Adams comes a cheeky, small-town romantic comedy about finding yourself in the weeds . . . only to find love, too. It took exactly twenty-four hours for Atlanta publicist Emma Walters’s life to go from near-perfect to a monumental disaster. One day to break up with her boyfriend, get fired and inherit a farm. All that’s left is for her to take the still-smoking remains of her dignity and flee to her new farm in Green Acres, Georgia. However, Emma’s new country life is anything but peaceful. The quirky locals seem to inexplicably dislike her, and farming proves way messier than she expected. Adding to her frustration is Dan Pednekar, the farm’s infuriatingly handsome manager, who doubts her ability to handle even the simplest tasks. Emma soon discovers that the farm isn’t exactly what it seems. It doesn’t sell anything, making her wonder if it's just a glorified petting zoo or if Dan is hiding something much bigger. With suspiciously named shops like Four and Twenty Blackbirds lining Main Street, it’s clear that the whole town might be in on a secret. But when the farm—and the livelihood of the townsfolk—is threatened, Emma must come up with a plan to save it. Because when you farm around, it’s just a matter of time before everyone finds out.

Ex-Navy Seal turned private mercenary Sam Tyler is a man on a mission. A mission to get as far away from New York and his tragic family history as he can. A new gig with a private security firm is exactly what he needs, but there is one obstacle his military training couldn't prepare him for. A spoiled, smart-mouth, and incredibly sexy starlet named Ella Scott. Quadruple threat Ella Scott was born to be an entertainer. Seriously, she booked her first acting job before she could crawl. But, after nearly four decades dodging every curveball the industry and her mother could throw at her, there is one thing threatening to bring her carefully curated world crashing down around her. And, no, it's not the unhinged stalker that wants her dead. It's Sam Tyler, the overbearing, inflexible, and ridiculously attractive wall of muscle the studio sent to protect her. When an imminent threat forces Sam & Ella into hiding, will they find the courage to defeat their most dangerous enemies, the ghosts of their pasts? (They should also probably do something about the stalker, too.) One Scott Deal is funny, dramatic & steamy short full of suspense, bodyguarding, opposites attract, enemies to lovers, forced proximity & steam.
