(Westerly Cove #1)

Some secrets refuse to stay buried . . . even for twenty-five years.

When tourist Melissa Clark vanishes near Westerly Cove's historic lighthouse, Detective Brooks Harrington expects a routine missing person case. Instead, he's paired with Vivienne Hawthorne, a tea shop owner who claims her family can speak to the dead.
 
The case mirrors a twenty-five-year-old mystery—teenage Lily Morgan, who disappeared while researching the same lighthouse. Both women were asking dangerous questions about the town's buried secrets.

Vivienne's visions reveal corruption deeper than anyone imagined, but skeptical Brooks believes in evidence, not psychic abilities—until her insights lead him to clues logic couldn't uncover.
 
Racing against time, they must navigate their growing attraction while confronting enemies determined to keep Westerly Cove's darkest secrets buried forever.

(Silence #2) 
Published: October 27, 2025  
Savannah (Savvy) Colter is not easily overwhelmed, which is a good thing, since she is the sheriff of Edwards County. It’s rare to find someone her age— a woman to boot—carrying such responsibility, but over the years, Savvy has more than proven herself worthy of the position…to most.
 
However, when in a matter of a few weeks an old flame resurfaces in Silence, and two particularly violent murders land on her desk, her steady and predictable life becomes a little much to handle.
 
New full-time single parent, Nate Gaines, reluctantly returns to his hometown, Silence, to offer his teenage daughter some much-needed stability. As a contractor he can work anywhere, and it’s not like he left a particularly fulfilling life behind, but he’s not too sure how much work he’s going to get here.
 
Although, some of the changes he encounters in Silence are a surprise. The most shocking one is seeing the woman he once craved like air, now wearing the sheriff’s badge he so despises.
 
Coming home is definitely not turning out the way he’d envisioned. Especially when a sudden crime spree has the law knocking on his door…again.

Release Blitz: If You Give a Grump a Christmas Tree Farm by Nicole James

If You Give a Grump a Christmas Tree Farm

From Wall Street Journal bestselling author Nicole James comes a grumpy sunshine, small town, holiday romance!

JJ—

I’ve been to Christmas Town. Never thought I’d admit that to anyone. And yes, it’s a real place.
My brother and I visited there many times when we went to see our grandparents for the holidays. The small Tennessee town is proud of its name and takes it seriously. Gramps owns the local Christmas tree farm, Holly Jolly Farms on Candy Cane Lane. I know, right? Gag me with a spoonful of sugar.
I haven’t seen Gramps in forever, so never in a million years would I have expected that he’d leave it to me and my brother in his will. Only problem is, my brother passed away eight months ago. Guess gramps didn’t get a chance to update his will before he kicked the bucket.
It’s not that I’m ungrateful. We had some fun times there as boys, but now I’m a grown man who lost his Christmas wonder a long time ago. You could say I’m the definition of Bah-humbug.
To top it all off, I now share ownership of the place with my brother’s widow, a woman I’ve never even met.
Why is that, you ask?
Because I’m the black sheep of the family. I left home a decade ago and joined a motorcycle club. How’s that for a flying finger to the whole fam?
Needless to say, I haven’t been invited back since.
Not once.
So, all things considered, I’m thinking we make a quick sale, and unload the place to the first buyer we can find. But Rebecca has other ideas. She wants to make a go of it and she’s got a ton of ideas.
She’s complicating everything with her perky attitude and persistent optimism.
Per the stipulations of the will, neither one of us can sell unless the other one agrees, at least for the first year.
So, now I’m stuck with a failing tree farm and a hot-as-hell partner who pushes all my buttons, and is full of stinking Christmas cheer.
If I hear another ho-ho-ho, I won’t be responsible for my actions.
Between the tinsel and glitter and twinkling lights, the tree farm on Candy Cane Lane is coming back to life and my sexy partner is trying my last nerve and testing all my willpower. Lord, save me. It’s enough to drive a man to drink.
Pass the eggnog and don’t skimp on the liquor.
I’m in Freaking hell.

Pagan
I should have known I was in trouble the second I locked eyes with Snooki.
She’s a bossy brunette with thick thighs, killer blue eyes, and a smile that’s sure to slay my heart.
When I’m struck in a hit-and-run and my bike crashes, I don’t expect the feisty woman to come to my aid.
She’s not like anyone I’ve ever met. With curves I can’t stop devouring and a spicy mouth to match, I’m sure I just met the woman destined to be my ol’ lady.
But Snooki isn’t looking for another mistake with a bad boy wearing leather, no matter how much I turn on the charm.
It’s time for Plan B, and I’ve got just the thing to make her change her mind.
October is ushering in spooky season, a night of wanton tricks and treats, and a clandestine meeting with a Reaper.
This Halloween, I’m determined to win Snooki’s love, even if it means I’ve got to stalk, tie her up, and play a forbidden game under a harvest moon.

Snooki
I’ve only been in love once, and since Rael found his ol’ lady, I’ve sworn it’s not my fate.
But when I meet a handsome biker and have to stick my finger in his artery to keep him alive, I feel a pull on my heart I can’t ignore.
Pagan is cocky, sarcastic, and he’s got a mouth dirtier than the Mohave Desert.
He swears I’m going to be his.
Newsflash: I don’t belong to anyone.
Pagan is sure that all he has to do is get me on the back of his Harley and give me a ride I’ll never forget.
It’s not gonna be that easy.
But when a masked man begins following and hunting me, I learn just how far my new stalker will go to ensure he claims me.

Written as part of the 31 Days of Trick or Treat Biker series, this story is a novel in the Graven Bastards MC Tonopah, NV Chapter.
