YES, I WILL
100,000 word Single Title Contemporary

If the Red Cross did dating disasters, Becka Carroll would have a crisis team at her door. She’s in lust with the wrong man. Wrong as in luscious, unattainable Will Shaw. Yes, Number 89, has come home to Gillette, Wyoming to open his construction company. Growing up, he was breaking football records and dating the Homecoming queen while she was staging one woman sit-ins to save the groundhogs. So she's safe. What’s the chance of Will setting his sights on her?

Then he walks through her door desperate for her help as an import store owner. Now they’re working close enough for her to need a drool guard, and he's sending her wicked wonderful signals. But she lost her trust in men with her virginity. Becka’s tying up her laces and on the run. But, why is Will -- the man who doesn’t like strings attached to anything but a bikini -- chasing her?

Despite Becka’s Catholic mother's meddling, her best friend's cynicism, and her long held belief that true love should be catalogued under death and dismemberment, she takes the plunge. Now the woman who’s learning to trust again must teach a man who doesn’t believe in forever that he holds her future, and she’s strong enough to hold his. Yes, I Will shows with humor and heat that single doesn't mean safe, and love will find common ground.


TRY, TRY AGAIN
100,000 word Single Title Contemporary

Susannah Ortega-Deberg, caught between her maternal Hispanic family and her father’s east coast silver spoon heritage, has painted her past with poor choices. She migrates south to Colorado to create a new life: one without men. When her ex gets married in less time than it took them to pick out a couch, she finds herself on a wild night downtown staring at a man too beautiful to be believed. Waking up in his bedroom the next morning, she bolts. Only to find out he’s her new boss.

Since the tragic death of his fiancé, Try, Trenton Randolph Yates III, sees the world through guilt colored glasses. But there’s nowhere to hide when you’re heir to the world’s most powerful conglomerate. He takes on the teaching sabbatical for some distance and meets the woman who could rock his worldview and maybe his heart.

If she can let go of suspicion and trust this man; if he can escape his past to love this woman, they may just TRY, TRY AGAIN.

Her father begs Sin to fake a kidnapping, taking his daughter out of the hands of the government and out of reach of the terrorists. But keeping Caroline safe puts them both in the heart of danger.
