Better When He's Brave

Stacey Donaghy, thanks for always being my guiding light and for always being able to roll with my crazy. Some days I know it can be a lot to handle but you always manage to do it and never let me go over the edge. Not an easy feat.

Melissa Shank and really the whole Shank crew, thanks for being wonderful, loving and strong. Thanks for being family and so full of love and life that it makes me happy every day that you’re a part of my life. Mel, you know I couldn’t get through half of the chaos that I create without you, and really, just thank you for always TCB without me asking. You’re the best and I have endless amounts of love and gratitude to heap on you forever and ever.

Vilma Gonzalez, Denise Tung, and Heather Self—thank you for being my girls! Thank you for putting up with endless texts and PMs. Thank you for reading all of the bazillion books that I write and giving me your unvarnished, raw, real feedback. Thank you for making me better at what I do. Thank you for being amazing, strong, funny, delightful women that make every day just a little bit better. Ha, and thank you for letting me send you endless parades of hot dudes while I’m searching for a cover guy . . . right . . . being my friend is hard sometimes. J I love you ladies and I really, really hate that you’re both so far away from me . . . blurg.

All my book peeps—Jen, Jen Mc, Jenn, J4, Tiffany, Cora, EK, Emma, Kristen, Jamie, Kimberly, Laurelin, Sophie, Monica, Tucker, Amy, Tijan, Lo, Karina, Chelsea, Crystal, Carolyn, Ali, Debbie, Denise, Renee, Stephanie, Damaris, Courtney, Christine, Danielle, Teri . . . you guys kick so much ass and I just want to squeeze you all and smother you in so much love.

Anyone that follows me on social media or has come out to meet me at an event knows there is a good chance my folks will make an appearance. I love my family and I have really been blessed with a set of parents that are everything. My mom has always been my best friend and my dad has always been the coolest guy I have ever known. One of the great joys writing has brought into my life is that I get to experience all this excitement and all these dreams coming true with them. So thanks mom and dad for being around to see all this and thank you so much for coming on the ride with me. Thanks for always bringing me a Bud Light so that I never run dry. Oh, and thanks for being so much fun—people at signings would rather hang out with you two than me!

As always, mad love to my pack (my furry family is the best thing in the world to come home to) and the man that loves them for me when I’m on the road. Thanks for being so dope Mike Maley! And I’m serious about an invite to the Renaissance festival this year!

As always, I’m easy to find if you want to holler at me and have me holler back:

NOW THAT THE MEN OF THE POINT HAVE ALL MET THEIR MATCHES, NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR JAY CROWNOVER IS HEADING BACK TO COLORADO WITH HER BRAND-NEW SERIES, THE SAINTS OF DENVER!





BUILT


Sayer Cole and Zeb Fuller are as different as two people can be. She’s country club and fine dining, he’s cell block and sawdust. Sayer spends her days in litigation, while Zeb spends his working with his hands. She’s French silk, while he is all denim and flannel.

The differences between the two of them don’t stop Zeb from dropping every hint he can think of that he would like to get to know the lovely lawyer on a more personal level, but Sayer seems oblivious to his interest. To Sayer, a manly guy like Zeb, someone so good with his hands, could never be interested in someone as reserved as she is. She’s never been with anyone that was hot enough to melt her icy exterior, but something tells her Zeb might be the guy to finally thaw her out.

When Zeb gets the surprise of a lifetime in the form of a kid he never knew he had, getting Sayer into bed takes a backseat. He desperately needs her professional help to get custody of his son before he ends up lost to Zeb forever. Somewhere between bringing broken, battered homes back to life and making sure a family stays together, these two opposites realize that on the inside they are exactly the same. As much as Sayer needs Zeb’s heat to melt the ice around her heart, he needs her cool head just as much—to win the most important fight of his life.

Available Winter 2016
