He's on track to win her heart...

They both want to disappear. Until they find each other. When Samantha Abby loses her magazine job and her musician boyfriend, she says goodbye to New York, her writing career, and guys with guitars. Back home, she discovers her parents have a houseguest-ridiculously-sexy-in-Chuck-Taylors rock star Duncan Hall. She doesn't want to share her bathroom or her family with the exact kind of trouble that broke her heart. Plus, Duncan is brilliant. With her writing dream in a dumpster, spending time with a beautiful guy whose creativity earns countless accolades is just salt in the wound. Duncan should be on top of the world, but after losing his best friend to drugs, success feels like a joke. Meanwhile, his parents express their continued disdain for his music and the film he made to cope. Samantha's step-dad, Christopher Penman, is as close as Duncan gets to a father figure, and working with him on a new record is a dream-come-true. Duncan doesn't want to lose out on this found family by getting romantic with Samantha, but she's not only gorgeous and smart, she sees right through to his core. Duncan and Sam find themselves no longer wishing to disappear. But do they have the courage to let themselves be found? "Emotional, fun, and sensual. I loved Wishing!"-5 stars, Guilty Pleasures Book ReviewsWishing is the final book in the Forever series, set 8 years after the end of Back Forever. It is a stand-alone novella with an HEA.

One night. That's all a rock star wants. Right? When her fiancé destroyed her with a "Dear Katie" letter a week before their wedding, Kate Stillman still took a vow--it would be a cold day before she gave a man anything more than one night. Free from emotional entanglements, her photography career is skyrocketing, there's the occasional hot one-night-stand, and her heart is off-limits. It's the perfect plan until a Miami getaway brings her face-to-face with Peter Barrett. Smart and sexy guitarist Peter has been pursuing Katie with texts since she photographed his band. Now that they're reunited in the flesh, there's more than mere flirtation. He wants her. Now. Katie gives in to their sizzling chemistry, thinking a rock star will appreciate her one-night rule. Instead, Peter balks and extends an invitation for a second night of pure abandon, an offer too tempting to refuse. When they part, Katie learns how well her rule protected her heart. Time away from Peter only leaves her wanting him more. Every steamy, late-night phone call makes her wonder if she can love again. But when Peter returns and her trust is tested, Katie must overcome her past to see that love her way was never the way at all.

For years, George Booth was implored by others to, "Shut up and write a book." And so he has, beginning with the all-important first line: "I found my first dead guy when I was six." Born to a family of storytellers and big complainers, he takes creative license with tales of vacations gone bad, silly neighbors, holidays, jumping off a bridge, and a pair of missing shoes, while mixing in his take on the moronic behaviors of everyone else. With story after story, he entertains anyone who will sit still long enough to read it.
