Getting stuck in the man’s cabin for the weekend? There were definitely worse ways to pass a few days. Falling for him when the guy made it clear he didn’t do relationships? Well, Beau just wouldn’t do that… probably. Out in the Cold is a 25k word novella with a 39-year-old furniture maker who is done with disappointing relationships, a 25-year-old accountant with terrible taste in fiancés, a remote cabin in the woods during a snowstorm, and a rescue dog with more sense than his owner. less

Being in love with your dad’s best friend is a recipe for loneliness. Trust me, I know. But I can’t help it. How can I not fall for someone as sweet and caring and attractive as John?

How can I not fall for someone as sweet and caring and attractive as John? Especially after he comes and fixes a leaking pipe in my basement. No questions asked.

John, who’s only ever dated women, can’t seem to figure out he isn’t supposed to stare at certain parts of my very male body. I know my dad won’t like it if he finds out, but we’re both adults. If there’s a chance I can have something real with John, I have to go for it. Right? Laying Pipe is a low-angst, contemporary romance full of heat, laughs, and a guaranteed HEA. less

If there was one thing Kevin knew, it was that his BFF’s ex was bad news. Hank is arrogant, a sloppy drunk, and a complete flirt. And he didn't treat Kevin’s friend the way he deserved. Enough said. It doesn’t matter that everyone else has forgiven and forgotten what happened between Hank and Kevin’s bestie. He won’t let himself fall for the older man’s sweet words or endearments. Especially not after… that night... moreIf there was one thing Kevin knew, it was that his BFF’s ex was bad news. Hank is arrogant, a sloppy drunk, and a complete flirt. And he didn't treat Kevin’s friend the way he deserved. Enough said. It doesn’t matter that everyone else has forgiven and forgotten what happened between Hank and Kevin’s bestie. He won’t let himself fall for the older man’s sweet words or endearments. Especially not after… that night. Getting ghosted by a guy Kevin wasn’t even really interested in—okay, he maybe sort of could have been, but definitely not now—was the final nail in the coffin. Just because Hank wormed his way into Kevin’s life and friend group, doesn’t mean Kevin has to give him the time of day. Too bad, Hank isn’t getting that message. Banger is book two in bestselling author Kiki Clark’s Blue Collar Hearts series. It features an age gap, enemies (though not really, except yes because you annoy me so much but why am I so attracted to you? !)-to-lovers, clothes stealing, bookstore dates, apology bjs, and so much more. It can be read as a standalone, but both main characters were first introduced in book one, Laying Pipe, so why not start from the beginning. *wink*. less
