Holding You (Book 1)
Bachelor and self-professed adrenaline junkie Quinten Cohen has no interest in hugging trees or driving hybrid cars. He’s accustomed to the finer things in life, the best that money can buy. That is … until he nearly runs over Addy Brecken while she’s basking in the sun in the middle of the street.
Addy’s one of Milwaukee’s most talented chefs and a staunch environmentalist with a breathtaking view of Lake Michigan. When she’s not hula hooping or tending to her herbs, she’s counting breaths and trying to forget her past.
After her near accident with Quinn, Addy can’t shake him and his relentless attempts to gain her affection. Several heated encounters later, Addy finds herself propositioning Quinn for the one thing she never imagined needing—sex.
When anger, jealousy, and love seep into their relationship, Addy accidentally exposes a secret, and Quinn discovers he’s playing out of his league.
Releasing You (Book 2)
A tragic accident. A hidden past. An unbreakable love.
Addy gives Quinn everything and asks for nothing. Then he breaks her. The depths of her pain are veiled by the reflection of his own. He doesn’t deserve her, but he wants her—he needs her. In his darkest hell, he hears her voice. That’s when he knows …
Addy is his soul.
In her darkest hour, his weakness gives her strength, and she discovers his past holds her future. But first, he’ll have to let her go.
