Sam and Stella are closer than most brothers and sisters. Born only minutes apart, they grew up to be best friends and lifelong adversaries. Sam’s twin sister put the “rival” in sibling rivalry. Sam ignores Stella’s competitive nature about who’s living a better life. So what if his law degree isn’t getting much use. And his previous relationship was a failure. And his Sundays are spent hung-over with his buddies. Despite Stella’s opposition, Sam is happy. Stella is happier, just in case anyone asked. She has it all. Skyrocketing career? Check. Impending fiancé? Check. Friends? She was too busy achieving her goals (and stepping on innocent bystanders) to form friendships. All she needs is her twin brother. Sam has accepted his place at the bottom. And there’s never been a threat to the hierarchy… until Harper. Sam’s unexpected one-night stand has the potential to be so much more. So why isn’t Stella happy for her brother? A rivalry like theirs isn’t short on secrets. False appearances are easier to fake when you’re already so good at pretending. And for Sam and Stella, the lies are getting in the way of the truth: are they really happy or just acting the part?

There’s no place like home… When Amelia’s father remarries right as she’s college-bound, she decides to leave behind his happy new beginning—and her annoying new stepbrother, Theo—for good. The three months they lived together proved they have nothing in common except mutual disdain. Now, ten years later, Amelia finds herself in a situation where she has nowhere else to go but home. To her dad, who is madly in love with his second wife, a woman she barely knows and has never accepted. To her childhood home that has been methodically erased of her late mother and the memories she had of her real family. And, worst of all, to Theo. Except he’s no longer the awkward teenager she barely remembers. Adding insult to injury, he has somehow transformed into one of the Abercrombie models featured on her posters from high school. They might be older, but their immature ways are returning. It’s not easy sharing a bathroom and it’s even more difficult resisting the temptation across the hallway. It’s been a decade since their last encounter, and Amelia will soon find out home is where the hate is. Grounded is an open-door romantic comedy. This book is intended for 18+.

I’ll Be Alone For Christmas is a suspenseful novella filled with terror, a dash of gore, and packed with Christmas spirit. Romee's winter break was planned out months ahead. A week at a cabin in the woods sounded romantic, and maybe it was just what her boyfriend of two years needed to pop the question. Instead, he proposed they break up, a week before they were destined to wake up Christmas morning, happier than ever. Heartbroken but undaunted, Romee embarks on a solitary journey to the remote cabin, yearning for peace and closure in the tranquil snowscape. Six nights of isolation, wine, and TV shows seemed like the perfect remedy for a breakup. Yet, from the moment she arrives, an ominous presence clings to her. The house is old, creaking and shifting, as if harboring another occupant. Bizarre occurrences escalate as each day passes, blurring the line between reality and a nightmare, making her question everything. She is alone, right? When Romee decides it’s time to leave the vacation rental early, it’s already too late. Snowed in and unable to escape, she has to survive the frigid conditions and limited resources... And the possibility that someone sees her when she’s sleeping and knows when she’s awake.
