Welcome to Sunset Siesta, a place where the charm is as endless as the ocean, and love is the ultimate restoration project.
For over a century, Sunset Siesta Resort has been the heart of Dove Key, a sprawling, sun-drenched haven built on the Coleridge family legacy. It’s a place of Old Florida soul, where the scent of salt air mixes with a hundred-plus years of memories. But now, the beloved resort is fading, and its future rests on the shoulders of the six fiercely loyal Coleridge siblings.
In this steamy, emotional, small-town romance series, each Coleridge sibling will discover that fixing broken foundations is nothing compared to mending a broken heart. They'll have to risk everything to build a future for their family, and find that true love is the one thing that's always worth the investment.

Release Date: September 10, 2025
Series: Sunset Siesta #0
I’m the analyst who avoids bad investments. But pretending to be in love with the maid of honor might be the smartest—and riskiest—move I’ve ever made.
Dean:
I don’t do charming. I don’t do spontaneous. And I definitely don’t do destination weddings at quirky, sun-bleached resorts in the Florida Keys. I’m here for one reason. My best friend is getting married, and I’m his best man. My plan is simple—deliver my speech, dodge the forced fun, and catch the first flight back to Atlanta.
Then there’s Brynn Vance. She’s the maid of honor with a problem of her own in the form of her aunt’s hand-picked suitor. She needs a fake boyfriend. I need a human shield. Our deal is temporary, efficient, and exactly what we both want.
At least, that’s what I tell myself. Until Brynn’s sharp humor and restless spark get under my skin. Our kisses are supposed to be for show, but the heat between us feels anything but fake. I came here for a quick escape. Instead, I’m risking everything on the one woman who might convince me to stay.
SUNSET CHARADE is a standalone novella and the perfect introduction to the Coleridge siblings and their sprawling family resort. Welcome to the Sunset Siesta series—your new small town romance obsession is waiting!

Release Date: October 29, 2025
Series: Sunset Siesta #1
She’s my workplace enemy—now my student, and way too tempting. The ocean’s deep, but this forbidden trouble runs deeper.
Eli:
In our small town of Dove Key, Julianne Verne and I are known for one thing. We clash spectacularly over every aspect of my family's resort where we both work. She's the meticulously organized accountant thriving on order, while I'm the laid-back dive instructor thriving on anything but. We're fire and ice in the Florida Keys, enemies and opposites in every way.
But now, I'm her unwilling scuba instructor for a wild wedding stunt. The close proximity is doing dangerous things to our long-standing animosity. Suddenly, her knife-sharp wit sounds more like playful banter. Our intense glares are looking a lot like smoldering glances. Then we combust in a beach shack.
This attraction is a forbidden complication I don't need. Especially with Mom's no-workplace-romances rule threatening to capsize everything. But I'm starting to think this captivating, infuriating woman might be the one adventure I can't resist.
Read BETTER THAN NEVER, book one of the interconnected small-town Sunset Siesta series, and discover why sometimes the best adventures begin with your worst enemy.
