I swore I’d never look twice at a football player again, especially after barely surviving the last one. But when my abusive ex gets traded to the team I work for, my past shows up to haunt me. 
Not a moment too soon, star player Landry Reynolds runs interference, announcing that he’s my boyfriend. My emotions get the best of me, and I find myself playing along. 
He’s charming, bold, and way too convincing. The more time we spend together, the harder it is to remember that it’s all pretend. 
I might be falling for my fake boyfriend, but I can never have him for real. I could lose everything I’ve finally found, and that’s scarier than having my heart crushed by the wide receiver.

Landry 
I didn’t mean to get involved. I just couldn’t watch her shrink away from him a second longer—not after knowing what he put her through. 
So I did what I do best: I ran the play and told him she’s mine. Now I can’t stop thinking about how right that little white lie feels. How right she feels. 
There’s a good chance I was never faking. 
This started as a way to protect her. I never imagined it’d be so hard keeping my hands off her. Then again, I’ve never been very good at following the rules.

The Passenger

Published: August 21, 2024 by Wild Rose Press, Inc. 
She’s a 1940s ghost whisperer.

Burdened with her empathic gift, Elizabeth Reilly wants to be free of it and fit in with normal people. Nevertheless, when the spirit of an old man asks for her help, she travels across the country to help him return home.

He’s the son of a ghost.

Gio Clemente is still angry with his father who abandoned him as a child. To help the father pass on, Elizabeth must persuade Gio to let go of his anger. Though he resents her intrusion, they are both stunned to find themselves fighting a profound attraction.

Elizabeth can accept his headstrong brand of love, but can Gio accept her gift—and believe in her?

The Passenger, a 1940s ghost story set in the California wine country, tells a tale of family connections, life-changing choices, and love—lost and found.

I Have a Story 
Colleen L. Donnelly
Published: May 21, 2025 
 
Jim Turner writes crime but doesn’t live it. He respects his grandfather’s tales of heroes but doesn’t believe them. When his failing grandfather sends him to a remote peninsula to write the end of his own heroic love story, Jim includes a war criminal interview to maintain his edge.

Chastity is an anomaly, a misfit in pre-WWII culture as well as in Jim’s life. Her spritely charm and endearing features turn Jim’s world upside down, especially when she reveals his grandfather’s peninsula as the site of her upcoming wedding.

Do good journalists flee when their interviewee is murdered? Do heroes write fiancés out of another’s story and themselves in? “The End” become the hardest words for Jim to write.

Satan’s Fury was my life.
It always had been. Always would be.
But it came with its sacrifices.
Lots of them.

Blood, sweat, and tears were just the beginning.
Hell, I’d traded pieces of my soul to get us where we are today.
And I’d do it all again.
But I’d do it without losing her.

She was my everything, and I let her slip through my fingers.
It was the mistake of a lifetime.
I realized that the second she came back.
It was time to right my wrongs.

I’d fought for my club.
I’d fought for my brothers.
Now, I was going to fight for her.
And this time, I wasn’t choosing between the patch and the woman I love.


This time, I would have both.
