Shoot the Moon

A grumpy teacher. A sunshine firefighter neighbor. And a small-town bet that turns into something more. When a playful wager keeps throwing Raquel Dawson and Henry Calloway together, she starts to see him for who he really is — kind, dependable, funny, and exactly the sort of man she has been afraid to trust. A clean rom-com with opposites-attract chemistry, hilarious small-town antics, meddling family, healing after heartbreak, and swoony kisses.

Promise You the Moon

Hunter Dawson left Starlight Valley with two goals: serve his country and get over Ellie James. He managed exactly one. Now he's back — and a marriage of convenience meant to keep Ellie safe is making it harder to remember where the act ends and the truth begins. A clean marriage-of-convenience romance with longtime pining, small-town charm, swoony kisses, and just enough danger to keep things interesting.
