The List SeriesMy steamiest, naughtiest series! Billed as erotic romantic comedy, you won't want to read these with your mom peering over your shoulder (unless you're into that kind of thing).- Book 1: The List
- Book 2: The Test
- Book 3: The Last
The Front & Center seriesEach book in this risqué, laugh-out-loud military series is written as a standalone romantic comedy, but if you'd like to read them in release order, here's how they go:- Book 1: Marine for Hire

The First Impressions seriesCentered around a PR & Branding agency, the super-steamyFirst Impressions series is written so each of these laugh-out-loud romantic comedies stands on its own. If you'd prefer to read them in order, here's a key:- Book 1: The Fix Up
- Book 2: The Hang Up

- Let It Breathe
- Now That It's You
- This Time Around
- At the Heart of It
- Going Up (a Kindle in Motion novella)
