Tattered Stars (The Tattered & Torn #1)

Be brave. Just for sixty seconds. Twenty breaths.

Everly Kemper knows how to be brave--she's had to be from the moment she rode her horse to the sheriff's station to save the young girl her father had kidnapped to the day she came back to that same small town in hopes of atoning for all the damage he'd done.

She should've known that Hayes Easton would hate her. How could he not when it was her father who had nearly destroyed his family. Everly sees nothing but anguish and anger from the moment he arrives at her falling down cabin, that sheriff's star shining so brightly on his uniform.

But Hayes is a good man, a noble one. Someone who channeled his pain into a career spent protecting those around him. So, when the threats begin, he steps in to keep Everly safe. And they discover that maybe they never knew the other at all.

As the sparks between them ignite into something deeper, they discover that darkness still lurks around the edges of their town. And in it someone who will do anything to make Everly pay...

Falling Embers (The Tattered & Torn #2)

You're like a fire that lives inside me. Even when I thought it was all burned out, there were still embers that lived in my bones.

Calder Cruz was everything Hadley Easton should've stayed far away from. Firefighter. Single dad. Her brother's best friend. But Hadley was never very good at playing by the rules.

One night--one kiss--changes everything, their friendship going up in flames.

It doesn't matter that she still sees him every day at the fire station and at weekly Easton family dinners. Calder's nothing but a stranger she no longer recognizes, each stilted conversation and stony stare killing a little more of her soul.

Until one moment changes everything yet again.

A single threat is all it takes to send Calder charging back into Hadley's life with a vengeance. And it's clear that's where he's determined to stay.

As long-buried embers light anew, those threats turn deadly. And it's clear that whoever's behind the keyboard will do whatever it takes to extinguish their flame for good...

 Hidden Waters (The Tattered & Torn #3)

Addie's family tried to break her. But, somehow, she made it out alive, even though the wounds from that survival are forever carved into her bones. Now, her only wish is for normal.

When Beckett Easton returns home and finds Addie living in his house, he decides a new roommate wouldn't be so bad. And besides, he has demons too. Addie can see it in the shadows haunting his gorgeous eyes and the way he looks at her with gentle understanding.

But as an unlikely friendship becomes more, it forces dark secrets to slink out of the shadows. And they could both lose everything they've fought so hard for--down to their very last breaths.

Shattered Sea (The Tattered & Torn #4)

Laiken Montgomery has known every kind of pain. Of the heart. Of the body. Of the soul. All she wants now is the freedom that comes from making my art. The last thing in the world she expects is for Hollywood royalty to waltz into her gallery in a small town in the middle of nowhere and see her.

A man like Boden Cavanaugh shouldn't understand her, shouldn't be able to smooth her ragged edges.

But all it takes is one spark, and as their attraction burns bright, there are forces desperate to send them back into the darkness. And they've already killed before...
