Run the Risk:
A Shamrock Cove romance

The father she has shunned for 23 years has died, leaving her his bar, The Risk, along with a slew of bad feelings. Unhappy in her law career and life in general, … Continue reading →

EXCERPT: Meeting My Maker & Other Kitchen Disasters The Krups KM-7000. It ground its own beans. It made perfectly calibrated coffee. It was, without question the best Christmas present she’d ever received. Bless Tegan. Bless her cute little blonde head full of wonderful gift ideas.

Mostly, demonstrating the lack thereof, she thought. Her hubris was challenged … Continue reading →

Plethora
Brenna Clay, a quirky bisexual author, escapes with her lover to the remote Ozark area of Hogscald.
