A Western state of mind

High Note

By

Kirsten Langdon is happy being a small-town girl. She works at the local pizza place slinging pizza and playing her guitar to whoever will listen a few nights a week. And if she wishes song-writing jobs were easier to get, well, that’s her problem.

Skyla Bridey is one of the hottest tickets in country music, but she’s burned out and tired of the hustle and bustle of the tour. So she’s taking the band to Summit Springs to figure out how to get her mojo back, and how to make her music more real again.

Sparks fly when Kirsten and Skyla meet over an evening of music, and they get to know each other quickly. Skyla admires Kirsten’s honesty and her out and proud life, but she’s not sure country music will let her go and do all the things she wants. Can the two women find enough common ground to make their life an upbeat number instead of a sad song?

Part of the Sin Deep series:

When Kacey Lowe shows up at his friend Sam’s place in New York, it’s because he has nowhere else to go. He’s lost his shot as a bullrider, and he’s beat up as anything to boot.

River McIntyre doesn’t really understand Kacey, but he wants to help the tough little cowboy with whatever demons he’s wrestling.

The trouble with cowboys, River finds out, is that they might be speaking a different language than a city man like him. But if they can meet in the middle somewhere, it will be worth all the effort.

The Trouble with Cowboys is a hurt-comfort, opposites attract, D/s romance set in New York City.

The Sin Deep series is a spin off of The Cowboy and the Dom series, set in the same club.

By

When Marissa wins a holiday honeymoon package at a ski resort in small town Colorado, she knows she has to call them and back out of the trip. She's not getting married, after all, since her girlfriend turned down her proposal.

When the ski resort's marketing manager convinces her to come anyway to save his job, though, she can't turn down a well-deserved vacation, even if it means pretending to be engaged for the photo opportunities. What she really doesn't expect is for the other party of the fake engagement to be someone she used to know.

Rebekka shows up in Summit Springs to help her brother out, so it comes as a shock when she has to pretend to be engaged to her old college girlfriend, Marissa. They couldn't be more opposite. Mari is by the book, high dollar, and kind of high maintenance. Bekka is a tarot reading earth goddess type who's a little scatterbrained. Can the two of them learn that they've both matured and changed into people who can really care for each other, or will their relationship end when the fake honeymoon is over?

Honeymoon in the Cards is an FF (lesbian) romance featuring opposites attract and second chance romance between a Texas-born tarot card reader and a New York City ad executive, set in the fictional small town of Summit Springs, CO.
