Her farm includes horses, cows, ducks, chickens and pigs. She homeschools her children because it is important to her they have the proper education, which she feels she can give to them.
When she isn’t writing, she enjoys making memories with her family and friends. You can always catch her with her phone in her hand, snapping pictures to savor the memories and moments that she will cherish forever. She enjoys riding her horses, especially her personal horse, Apache. She also enjoys painting because it relaxes her.

The Protectors
~ Derek ~
My best friend, Damien, and I retired from the United States Army Special Forces after a devastating loss.
We start our own security company and thrive, but the best part is that we get to keep our feet on home soil with our families. It’s all we’ve ever wanted.
But fate is cruel and has never been kind. When she decides our lives are too perfect, she intervenes and takes everything from me. My entire world.
I’ll stop at nothing to get my revenge…
~ Damien ~
Working with my best friend after retiring from the Army and starting a life with the one woman in the world meant for me is a dream come true.
But when tragedy strikes, my perfect life crashes down with epic spectacularity.
I try to be the level-headed strong one just like I always have been. But I’m not sure I’m coming back from my darkness this time…
The Unique Obligation
~ Jennifer ~
From a very young age, I learned one lesson very well. Do as I’m told, and do not complain. The consequences are far too severe.
But Fate is ruthless and isn’t on my side. I always knew my uncle hated me, but I didn’t know it was enough to sell me to the Devil himself in order to pay off his gambling debts.
Jason Delavanté.
He’s sinfully hot, alluring as sin, and as evil as Satan himself. He runs the most dangerous and powerful mafia Las Vegas has ever seen.
And now he owns me…
~ Jason ~
When I first saw Jennifer, I fell for her. Hard and fast. She’s beautiful. Sweet. Everything I never knew I wanted. I’ll go to any lengths necessary to have her.
Little did I know that decision would bring complications I never saw coming. Specifically, when I find out who her uncle is and realize he’s in a lot of debt…
…to me.
I wouldn’t be half the vindictive leader I am if I didn’t have a plan. But with it comes lies, betrayal, and secrets that I’m not sure Jennifer will ever forgive me for…

This book is a great quick read. If your looking for a new series this is a good one to start. It’s not super long which is nice if you’re busy or short on time. Well written. Caught and KEPT my attention. It was the first series I’ve read that was from a military perspective and loved that as I grew up in a military household so was very relatable. Good amount of 🌶️! Looking forward to the next book in the series, can’t wait! Over-all Highly recommend!

This short smutty book was exactly what I needed! We meet Derek and Damian who are US Army Veterans who have been together and have become brothers💖🫶🏻 This was an amazing book that shows the vulnerability that men nowadays don’t show due to how society treats them. May I say that the cliffhanger was perfect even if I was a little pissed😂😂 I can’t wait to see whats next🥹🥹💖‼️

This book is the sequel to The Protectors. Highly recommend reading that book first, but can still be read without. Jason and Jennifer are everything!! The way that the story started out was a little slow, but I take it as building up all of the suspense that happened about halfway through the book until the end! The love story of Jason and Jennifer is one that is going to be forever stuck in my head. The way that Damien and Derek came into this story and took care of this mafia family was AMAZING!! Great read and definitely left a mark on my book heart!!
