TOP PICK ROMANCE—Romance Times Book Review
A scarred and lonely billionaire hiding from his past ...
Jared Connor lost his innocence at the age of ten when his father poured gasoline around the family home and left his two young sons to die in the flames. Now an adult, he's carefully crafted a pretend life where he can hide his scars and his death row father behind the disguise of a caretaker's pickup truck and a pair of gardening shears. But when a beautiful woman with scars of her own barges into his quiet, solitary life, Jared finds it increasingly difficult to hide from what he really wants.
A successful young businesswoman ill at ease in her newfound beauty ...
Phlox Miller was never the pretty girl and no magic mascara or secret serum was ever going to change that--not even one manufactured by her own company. When an accident at her country home burns her face and body, she spares no expense on her recovery and plastic surgery. Now she turns heads on the street, but can't recognize herself in the mirror--and can't convince the man she loves that he's beautiful, too.
Next to You is a standalone romance with a scarred—but sexy AF—billionaire and a geeky CEO heroine. (Because why can’t women have all the money and success in these books?) Throw in a little angst. A few secrets. A best friend and one pitbull personal assistant. Oh and toss a hidden identity in there somewhere … and then some seriously steamy times! (No cliffhanger. Definitely a Happy Ever After.)
