He needs this job to honor his late wife. She needs to complete her late fiancé’s bucket list.

Former action-movie star Chet Winters has counted the days since he lost his wife last New Year’s Eve. When he’s given a shot at starring in a reboot of her favorite TV show, he jumps at it. But there’s a catch: the producers won’t hire him unless he can prove he’s regained emotional stability. They require him to bring a steady girlfriend to his five auditions. In other words, five mandatory dates for this bereft widower. Social worker Holly Day lost her fiancé to war. With his good life snuffed out too soon, she feels compelled to finish his bucket list of unselfish deeds. But four years later, several remain, and they’re ridiculously impossible. Until she accomplishes her soldier’s dreams, she can’t even consider moving on with her life. When Chet and Holly meet by chance on the beach at beautiful Kilauea Cove, she doesn’t know the homeless-looking mourner Chet is actually Colt Winchester, screen star and fashion icon. And he doesn’t know he’s a means to an end. Their walls start to crumble on their Christmas-season dates. But, can these two find love again, or will they forever be chasing ghosts?

*Several have new titles/covers in e-book and paperback, but they’re still the Cotton Candy for the Soul stories you can sink into and love.

A disowned spy with one last chance, a divorced teacher needing to rediscover herself, and the search for a missing woman that brings them together.

Intelligence op Birch Cardon has accepted a mission to rescue a diplomat’s kidnapped daughter. If he succeeds, he will reclaim his stolen career. Except, the woman goes missing and his intel contact turns out to be his college crush. After a messy divorce, Arden Pike takes a trip to see her college gal pal as a way to rediscover her single self. When her friend goes missing, Arden is stranded with no phone, no ID, and no access to her hotel room. All she has is Birch, who is the key to finding her missing friend. That is, if together they can face down an oil sheik’s yacht, a brewing storm, a shipwreck, and an old enemy’s vendetta. When he signed up for this job, what Birch didn’t know was that his second chance wouldn’t be just salvaging his career—but with the girl who got away.
