Learning to Breathe - coming soon in 2016Bree has a budding law career, a loving fiancé, a new house, and a future that promises everything she thought she could ever want. But when her fiancé dies months before the wedding, all of that dies with him. In the midst of her grief comes the shattering realization that she doesn’t actually want the future she had been working so hard to build. Somehow she must mourn the loss of her relationship and her old life while holding herself together long enough to start over from scratch. To complicate matters further, what starts as mutual support slowly blossoms into an undeniable attraction to the one man she’s sure she can't be with: her dead fiancé’s brother.
Sorry's Not Enough
Contemporary New Adult
Tragedy in Charlotte's past has left her broken in ways that "I'm sorry" can never fix. She doesn't give a damn that people misinterpret her aloofness as arrogance because the farther away they stay from her, the less chance she has of getting hurt again. When she meets Steven in a writing workshop, his quick wit and good looks suddenly have her fighting the urge to get up close and personal.
Steven is persistent when it comes to getting what he wants. And he wants Charlotte. He sees a softness under the surface of her stay-the-hell-away-from-me attitude that only makes him want to get closer. But as Steven breaks down the walls around her heart, he realizes they may have been there as much for his protection as hers.
Falling in love requires vulnerability, and that scares the shit out of Charlotte. When her instinct for self-preservation kicks into overdrive, she ends up causing the heartbreak she'd been so desperately trying to avoid. Can Charlotte deal with her past baggage before it wrecks her future? And will sorry be enough to keep Steven's love for her alive?

If she can only find the perfect pair of shoes to fit the massive feet that have been her burden since high school, she just might have a Cinderella moment.
Between the Lines – Meg has only ever talked to Josh online after they were introduced by a mutual friend. But that did nothing to stop their conversations from taking a sexual turn.
