**BIO**
I'm
a stay at home mom that loves to read. Some of my favorite titles are Pride and
Prejudice, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and Horatio Hornblower. I
started writing when I was trying to come up with suggestions on ways I
could help bring in some extra money. I came up with the idea that I could
donate plasma because you could earn an extra $500/month. My husband
responded with, "No. Find something else. Write a blog. Write a
book." I didn't think I had anything to share on blog that a thousand
other mothers hadn't already thought of. I decided to take his challenge
seriously and sat down to write my first book, Jack. I was surprised
at how much I enjoyed writing. From there, the stories continued to flow
and I haven't been able to stop. I hope my readers enjoy my books as much as I
enjoy writing them. Between reading, writing, and taking care of three
small kids, my days are quite full.

Tony
After walking into my girlfriend's house and finding her murdered, I'm really struggling to get back to normal. Everyone's looking at me like I'm damaged, but they don't know the truth. And when they find out, they'll never look at me the same again. But a one night stand changes everything. Suddenly, everyone at Reed Security is trying to set me up with this crazy woman that can't cook, shows up at my work, and call me at all hours of the night. I don't want to hurt her, because she's so nice, but how long is a man supposed to go along with a crazy person that thinks there's a relationship where there isn't one?
Molly
After meeting Tony at The Pub one night, I know without a doubt that he's the man for me. He's everything I've been waiting for, and I'm not going to let this opportunity slip through my fingers. I know that he's slightly damaged and dealing with a lot, but with a little encouragement from Tony's teammates, I refuse to let him push me away. I have a whole arsenal of tips and tricks that my momma taught me, and with the help of my best friend, there's no way I'll fail. Now I just have to make Tony see that what we have is forever.

**EXCERPT**
“Uh…you
know, this isn’t working,” I said briskly.
She
tilted her head, all cute like and looked at me in confusion. “What do you
mean?”
“Us…whatever
this is. It’s not going to work. You’re nice and all, but it’s just not working.”
I
waited for the tears and the drop of her face. I braced myself for the yelling
and name-calling. But no matter how much I steeled myself for her reaction, I
just wasn’t ready for what she actually said.
“Hmmm.
Well, I appreciate your input, but I think it’s going good. Pop tarts?”
“What?”
“I’m
sticking some in the toaster. Want some?”
I
blinked several times, shook my head, and even slapped my own face, but nothing
changed. She was still standing in front of me, asking me if I wanted fucking
pop tarts after I just broke up with her. She actually refused to break up with
me. Could that really happen? Did I not get a say in this? And if so, was I
destined to just be with her the rest of my life? I’d never been in this
position before. I’d never had a woman refuse to let me break up with her. What
was the protocol for this? Did I just go along with it? Maybe I should just not
return her calls. Of course, that hadn’t really worked so far. She always
showed up, with food.
“Honey?”
She quirked her head to the side and smiled sweetly at me. “Pop tarts?”
Shaking
my head, I tried again. “I’m serious, Molly. I’m breaking up with you. I don’t
want to be with you anymore. It’s been fun, but let’s just end this now.”
“I
hear you. I really do, and while I think you make some not very valid points,
I’m going to pretend like what you said makes total sense. But we’re not
breaking up. You’re just freaking out and you want to end this before it gets
too real. I get it, but we’re still not breaking up.”
And
with that, she turned around and left the room. I stared at the floor, trying
to figure out what to do next. How the fuck had this happened? Was I being too
sweet? I mean, I was never too sweet. I was never that guy that women felt they
could walk all over. Yet, here I was, standing alone in my pretend girlfriend’s
bedroom as she walked out after telling me we were not breaking
up.
This
was not happening. She couldn’t make me stay with her. She couldn’t force me
to date her. I wasn’t some chump. I was Tony-fucking-Tacos. I groaned and
rolled my eyes at myself. I was not Tony Tacos. I was
something much cooler. I wasn’t even Mexican, and if I was honest with myself,
I didn’t even like tacos all that much. Not that I would tell Molly that. She
had been really sweet yesterday, bringing me food at work because she thought
tacos were my favorite.
I
cursed myself for thinking of her as sweet when I was trying to break up with
her. Damnit, I would not be forced to date a woman that I really liked. Fuck, I
was screwed. I marched into the kitchen and slapped my hand down on the
countertop.
“Listen,
Molly, this is over between us. I’m not going to let you tell me that we’re not
breaking up, because we are so breaking up. I’m walking out
that door and you will not follow me. You will not bring me food at work, and
you will not call me later tonight to ask where I am. Do you know why?”
She
smiled at me. “Because you think we’re breaking up.”
“Yes.
No!” I shouted. “I don’t think we’re breaking up. We are in
actuality breaking up. It’s for sure. Not a possibility or a probability. We
are one hundred percent broken up, as of right now,” I said, punctuating the
statement by punching the counter with my pointer finger.
She
nodded, her eyes wide with a very serious expression on her face. “I hear you.
I want you to know that I really do hear you, but it’s just not possible for us
to break up. We have that dinner with Momma and Daddy tomorrow, and they
already planned dinner. Momma did all her shopping and got everything we could
possibly need for your favorite dinner.”
“What
dinner?” I asked hesitantly.
“Tacos,”
she grinned.
“Fucking
hell,” I said, throwing my hands up in the air. “I’m not even fucking Mexican!”
