Intertwined Hearts

Leigh:
Leigh Vaughn lives in a man’s world running Vaughn Construction with her brother, Jamie. She’s tried to be feminine and failed over and over again. Growing up with only her brother, father, and construction crews to guide her, Leigh has no idea what a feminine wile is, much less how to deploy them. But when Jamie and Trevor begin to research finding a surrogate to carry their baby, she knows this is something she can do. Hell, it’s not like those parts are getting used for anything else.
David:
When this small town came looking for a new police chief, David Warner jumped at the chance. After a traumatic betrayal by his partner on the police force, he’s burnt out and jaded. And his love life has been even more depressing than his work life. He’s made one true connection in the last five years, but she disappeared without a trace the next morning.
Three people who have given up on love, may just find a new beginning where they least expect it...in Snowcroft. But love is only supposed to happen in twos. How can they make it work with three intertwined hearts?
Trigger warning: This book features story-lines that involve past assaults and betrayals, but has a guaranteed HEA for three people who couldn’t deserve it more. male/male/female.

Everything is perfect. Until the love of his life shows up to his birthday party with a wife.

Full Story Description:
Zack Blackthorne had “dark, immoral” cravings long before he became a vampire. Born during the mid 1800’s, he grew up during a time when loving a man was wrong. But in a moment of weakness, he gave into that urge and life as he knew it changed forever. Now he lives a cursed existence and will never cross that line again. He earned his fate. Alone, he exists in the shadows of the world.
Nash Dixon is a new vampire who’s used to living his life in the light. A photographer by trade, he has no idea how to deal with his new reality. He hasn’t mentioned his latest medical condition to his best friends, only that he needs a safe place to land. Bringing danger to their door was never part of the plan.
Nash also didn’t count on Zack, his sexy new mentor. Zack is an enigma...grumpy, gorgeous, and completely off-limits. At least that’s what Zack’s mouth says. The heat in his eyes says something else entirely. As a photographer, Nash sees that deeper need. But how does he convince a 150-year-old vampire that sometimes the light is exactly where he needs to be?

Found at the Jazz Club
releasing late November, 2017
I'm actively writing this book right now. I planned for it to be a novella, but it's looking more and more like it's going to run 45-50k which will put it right at the size that Found at the Library was...this is the story of my writing life...LOL.
But the good news is that the first draft should be done in the next week. Yippee.
Found At the Jazz Club Story Description:
What
happens in Vegas stays in Vegas...or does it?
Emily Hodges went
to Vegas for her best friend’s wedding. She was NOT looking for a husband. Been
there, done that, never doing it again. She has enough scars on her heart, and
doesn’t need or want any more.
Brady Gresham went
to Vegas to find his musical voice again. Instead he found an inspiring muse in
the form of Emily. But right now his musical career is his focus. He’s too
young to want or need to be tied down.
Somehow their
drunken get-together turned into a wedding that neither one of them can
remember or explain.
Waking
up married was never part of the plan, but you know what they say about
best laid plans...
