Women called him the perfect storm because he could sweet-talk any woman into his bed, and regularly did so. Firefighter Storm Westmoreland used lovemaking the way other men used a long, hot shower--to blow off steam. Until a torrid weekend with a too-hot-to-handle virgin left a certain legendary player craving something other than mere physical gratification ... Caught in the eye of the storm, Jayla Cole was no match for the sexy fire chief or the emotional inferno he ignited inside her. But would she be satisfied with the mind-blowing sex-only relationship she shared with Storm, or was starting a family on her own still what she desired more than anything?

Are you overwhelmed with feelings of defeat, struggles, daily oppositions, downfalls, and loneliness? Have daily trials left you feeling powerless, wanting to quit, or just altogether give up on life? These daily obstacles arise causing one to question, 'God, what do I do now? Where do I go next?" or even pondering, "Are you there, Lord?" We must recognize that God's call for our life and destiny is the only true way to overcome obstacles and achieve everlasting peace and success in life. In My life Story and How God's Grace Saved Me, it reveals the reality of God's guidance and truth being the final authority in order to find lasting peace and destiny within oneself.

First love. Second chances. In Catalina Cove, anything can happen... Ten years ago, Kaegan Chambray went to his sweetheart Bryce Witherspoon's with an engagement ring in his pocket...and had his dreams shattered. Now he's returned to Catalina Cove to run the family seafood shipping business and make his home. But no place has ever felt like home since losing Bryce. Bryce Witherspoon's heart still races every time she sees Kaegan, no matter how much she tells it not to. He broke her heart when he walked away all those years ago. But when the lie that tore them apart is revealed, Kaegan is determined to make up for lost time. Soon Kaegan is surprising her with a sweet and sexy courtship, and she's reminded of the man she once knew and is getting a glimpse of the man he's become. Bryce swore never to forgive him, but beneath the hurt runs the one thing Bryce fears the most: that irresistible, oh-so-familiar jolt of attraction. She thought she'd buried that part of herself, but maybe, just maybe, it's possible to have the future they once imagined--if only they give love a second chance.
