La repentina muerte del padre, el restaurante familiar que hay que mantener, una exnovia que ahora sale con el hermano mayor… Anchor Island resulta un lugar plagado de retos para Lucas Dempsey. Pero el mayor de ellos irrumpe en su corazón sin previo aviso. Su nombre es Sid Navarro, su oficio, la mecánica náutica, y su carácter, el polo opuesto al prototipo de mujer ideal. Y, sin embargo, los desdenes y las discusiones acaban tejiendo una tela de araña enormemente atractiva, sexual, en la que ambos caen rendidos, y de la que no quieren salir. Su tórrida relación, sin embargo, tiene fecha de caducidad: Lucas debe volver a la ciudad. Ese será su mayor reto: aquel que ninguno de los dos querría superar.
El mayor de los retos es la historia romántica, sexy y trepidante de una familia, de la vida en una isla y del encuentro del amor en el lugar más inesperado.

Book 2
Beth Chandler se ha pasado la vida complaciendo a los demás. Por sus abuelos estudió derecho y por hacer feliz a su novio, Lucas, ha tomado un ferri para ir a ver a sus suegros. Su miedo a navegar le provoca un ataque de pánico en el barco, que solo un hombre alto y de ojos azules consigue aplacar. Es el mismo que, a la vez, hace que su corazón se acelere. Es, sin embargo, el hermano de su prometido: Joe.
Cuanto más le atrae Joe, más crecen sus remordimientos, hasta provocar un verdadero terremoto en su corazón. Lucas es el deber y el camino preparado. ¿Podrá comprender que Joe representa la ternura y la fidelidad a sí misma? Quizá por primera vez en la vida, ¿podrá escuchar a su corazón?
Llena de emoción y encanto, Escrito en el destino es la historia de una joven que se debate entre hacer lo que debe o ser feliz… ¿qué escogerías tú?

Book 5
Callie Henderson had to fight to put her tragic past behind her, but now the up-and-coming player in the hospitality industry is well on her way to happiness. She has her sights set on the lead renovation position at the Sunset Harbor Inn—an inn that just happens to be owned by Sam Edwards, the man who comforted her in her grief and gave her one night of passion before walking away.
Sam is searching for someone who can turn his quaint inn into a premier boutique hotel. He just never expected that someone to be the one woman who knows his deepest secrets. But he needs Callie, and Callie needs the job. Throw in a talking parrot with a cracker addiction, some uncooperative islanders, and enough sexual sparks to light a beachside bonfire, and they’ve got their work cut out for them…
More to Give is a story of heartbreak and healing, of facing the past…and having the courage to believe in a future.

Willow Parsons’s two new best friends are getting married, putting her squarely on the sidelines of romance—which suits her just fine. After the nightmarish situation she escaped from, featuring the ultimate Mr. Wrong, she is more than happy to spend her days slinging drinks in Dempsey’s Bar & Grill, and her nights alone. But her Anchor Island refuge has just one catch: muscle-bound charmer Randy Navarro.
Everyone in town knows that Randy, owner of the local fitness club, is a giant teddy bear. Everyone, it seems, except for Willow. He’s convinced that her avoidance is more than just playing hard to get, and is determined to uncover the secrets that shadow her lovely eyes. But when old fears are dragged into the light, can Randy get Willow to stay and fight for their love…or will she take flight, leaving him and Anchor Island behind?
Home to Stay is a charming, romantic tale about following your heart to find where you belong.

Opposites attract in a sexy tale of unexpected love
When the Dempsey patriarch suffers a heart attack, Lucas Dempsey steps up to keep the doors of the family restaurant open. The proverbial prodigal son returns home to Anchor Island—putting family first and his quest to make partner at his high-powered law firm on hold. Sporting a bruised ego after losing his fiancée to his older brother, Lucas would rather walk on glass than spend six weeks within spitting distance of the happy couple. But family duty calls. And that duty includes working side-by-side with a tantalizing spitfire intent on driving him mad.
Tough-as-nails boat mechanic Sid Navarro is happy to trade her tools for an apron to help the Dempseys in their time of need. That is, until she realizes she’ll be working alongside Lucas, the man she’s loved from afar since she first laid eyes on him in high school. Lucas could charm the paint off a schooner, but Sid knows she doesn’t fit his girl-next-door type. To show her true feelings would mean certain heartbreak, but the temptation of Lucas in her bed might be more than she can resist.
After a rocky start punctuated by verbal barbs and exasperating arguments, things heat up between them—big-time—but their steamy affair turns more than casual in a matter of weeks. Sid’s life has become the dream she’s always wanted, and Lucas has fallen hard for the last woman he ever expected to love.
But this affair has an end-date, as Lucas must return to his life and career in the big city, a place where Sid would never fit in. When the end comes earlier than expected, walking away turns out to be a challenge neither of them wants to win.
Up to the Challenge is a sexy, fast-paced, romantic story of family, island life, and finding love in unexpected places.
