Blackwater Series

Sam Jennings has come home for Thanksgiving to find the family business on the brink of bankruptcy and his mother fighting for her life. As he sets out to put things right with the business, The Blackwater Restaurant, he runs into his first snag—in the form of a curvy brunette. Julie Rose might be the best waitress in Blackwater, but she has more thorns than a damn porcupine. So why can't Sam stop thinking about her long legs and sassy mouth? Julie isn't about to get mixed up with her boss's son. He might be tall, dark, and handsome, but he's way too arrogant and not at all her type. Sam is as hard as steel and just about as cuddly as a bear. Besides, between her business classes and waitressing, Julie has very little energy left over for playtime. Too bad her libido hasn't gotten the memo. Each novella in the Blackwater Series is a standalone story and can be enjoyed in any order.

No one would guess that tough-as-nails building contractor Vance Jennings once suffered a broken heart. Though the pain has subsided over the last twelve years, the memory is still just as fresh. Even fresher when she shows up on his doorstep asking for a second chance. No way is he letting her back into his life. But he’s plenty happy enough to burn it up between the sheets for old times’ sake. Shayla Riggs is older, wiser, and determined to make things right. Except she’s thrown for a loop by the changes in Vance. He’s definitely not the same sweet boy. Which might be a good thing… It takes only a kiss, a caress, to bring back the explosive passion they once shared. But if Shayla can’t find a way to break through the bitter walls around his heart, it just might destroy them both. Again.

Brodix Jennings’s skills are put to the test when his brothers call on him to help bring the dying family restaurant back into the black. With the grand re-opening only days away, it’ll damn near take a miracle to keep the doors from closing for good. Town reporter Sarah Greer has exactly what Brodix needs, free publicity on the front page of the town’s only newspaper. All she wants in return is a chance to interview the Jennings brothers, all five of them. The newspaper’s readership would eat up a rags-to-riches story like theirs. But none of the brothers are talking, and Brodix is the worst of the lot. Brodix is immediately captivated to the buttoned-up woman with the prissy attitude. If it wasn’t for her lousy profession, he’d be doing everything in his power to get her out of her neatly pressed suit and into his bed.

There’s finally a chance to get up close and personal with the big cutie—and she’ll darn well grab it will both hands.
