True Heroes

True Heroes includes four short stories of brave, strong, sexy United States Marines, and the women they encounter and ultimately come to love. Each woman is unique and strong in her own right. They strengthen their man, build him up, and help him to discover a lot about himself.

LETTER FROM ST. NICK ~ She’s trying to save her home and he’s never had one until now. Can an unexpected gift lead their hearts to the same place? (Previously published in Timeless Keepsakes.)
POSEIDON’S STRENGTH ~ A beloved hero’s death leads his sister and his best friend, who have never seen eye-to-eye, to discover that helping family can be their happy medium, and possibly lead them to uncover a love that’s meant to be. (Previously published in Timeless Escapes.)
THE COLORS OF COURAGE ~ Can a midnight kiss on New Year’s Eve lead a US Marine and a struggling artist toward more than they’d ever dreamed of for the future? (Previously published in Timeless Treasures.)
FROM THIS DAY FORWARD ~ A weekend spent incognito at a friend’s wedding should be enough time to get a musician back on track after her career hits a low note. But when a college crush sends her senses reeling, will this Grammy Award winner change her tune about the future? (Previously published in Timeless Vows.)


Flutter

Kit Caruso attends her twenty-year high school reunion mentally prepared to give Matthew (Mac) Warton a piece of her mind. He was her first crush, first love, and first boyfriend who broke her heart without a backward glance.

But what she finds is a changed man. A former Marine who'd gone to war and come back different. A man with a past she has no clue about. Later that night Kit discovers Mac’s military dog tags in her purse. How they got there was anyone’s guess since he never ventured near her.

Mac still wants Kit. Always had, always will, and if she takes the bait and comes to him…he might get what he needs to recover and convince her to take another chance on him.

Previously published in the Finders Keepers Anthology.


Catch and Release

Is there such a thing as a soulmate? The concept seems ridiculous. Who has time for that kind of wistful thinking?

Not Delaney King. Being a bail agent and private investigator may not be her life’s mission but she’s got no choice to keep her family’s business afloat. Love? Not on her To Do list. Troy Cameron swaggers into her storefront and her day goes into a tailspin. He was her best friend, first love, the only man to own her heart…until he bailed years ago to enlist in the Marine Corps. He’s back in their hometown and needs help to locate his bail-skipping younger brother. Can Laney aid Troy without baring long-buried feelings and opening up the old wounds of his heartbreak? Or, will Troy be the catalyst she desires to change her life?

*Catch and Release was previously published in "Drafted: Volume One", a print only anthology.*
