Reunion at Fortuny Bay

A family tragedy handed them a second chance at love, but a long-harbored small town secret threatens to tear them apart…this time, for good.

Leo Moncrief escaped the sleepy harbor town of Fortuny Bay for good reason, but when his estranged father passes, the multi-billion-dollar CEO must face his past to settle his family’s affairs. With the sale of his Silicon Valley company behind him, he hopes to get in, sell the house, and get out unscathed…until he discovers his ex has been his father’s in-home nurse for the past few years.

Now the unscathed part seems highly unlikely.

Busy fighting a losing custody battle with her late husband’s influential family, Cat Alonzo’s terrified what will happen to her now that her ex-boyfriend's husband has passed. All she had was her five-year-old son and a room in the Moncrieff home; soon she’ll have neither, unless Leo and Cat can fall into an unlikely truce.

Even if tragedy can draw them hesitantly and cautiously back together, the memories of the spark that drew them together all those years ago only threatens to fan a flame that could leave both their hearts burned…especially when his father’s attorney invites them both to the reading of the will, and the biggest secret of all is revealed —a betrayal that neither Cat nor Leo can possibly forgive.

If you love the small town romance of Debbie Macomber or Robyn Carr and the suspenseful twists of Nicolas Sparks, pick up REUNION AT FORTUNY BAY today to discover just how deep the roots of love and betrayal can go.

15 Days With You

A mother’s dying wish. A son in search of answers. A fifteen-day surf odyssey with the California girl who will dare him to rethink everything.

After his mother’s unexpected death, seventeen-year-old Shep has no choice but to leave his Texas home and move in with his uncle in Malibu. There, he discovers his mom’s dying wish and unbelievable promise. She wants him to recreate the surfing tour she went on when she was eighteen and release her ashes at each destination. In return, he will receive fifteen sealed envelopes, containing pages from her diary during that same road trip, revealing for the first time details about the man Shep has never met – his father.

Together with his cousin Carmen (the red-blooded competitive surfer) and her best friend Samantha (the opinionated beach goddess), they hit the road to visit and experience epic surf destinations up and down Pacific Coast Highway. But now that he’s on the verge of discovering the truth about his past, he has to balance the mess he left behind in Texas, grieve over the loss of his mom, his fast-developing feelings for Sam, and the mystery surrounding his father.

One thing is for sure: his mom is not who he thought she was, and he will never be the same again.
