Pura Vida - Ohana Surfing Club Book Two
Pura Vida is my first New Adult Romance book. Mateo and Lucy are 18 and 19 years old. This book is relatively heavy regarding emotional content, but that's my jam. I love to write about deep psychological issues and watch as my characters overcome their trauma and grow to achieve their HEAs. Their romance is new and hard but they are sweet and deserving.
To push past the trauma, it takes family and unexpected love to achieve the Pura Vida way of life.
Lucy
I struggled with change, unable to deal with the divorce of my parents, and my dad coming out as bisexual. He found a man to love, and as I tried to adapt, I sought companionship and love with a young man, and foster son to my father’s lover. On the surface, Mateo Del Luna seemed like any other cute boy you’d want to get to know. Deep down, he was complex and soulful. But that complexity came with a price. He was closed off, making it difficult to get to know him. How could I help him through his pain if he didn’t let me?
Mateo
Life on a stunning island isn’t all it’s cracked up to be for us locals. It trapped us with limited options. Some of us rise above it, while others crash and burn. I was one of those who burned. A traumatic experience as a child left me riddled with anxiety and PTSD, which pushed me over the edge into drug addiction. I’d been clean for four years after finding a new family, but with a chance at finding love with Lucy Stone, my world threatened to collapse around me as the lure of drugs called to me once more.
Can Lucy breach Mateo’s thick walls enough for her to help him with his pain? Will Mateo resist the hunger of his addiction? Will young love be able to withstand the complexities of life that are tossed their way?
CW: Murder of a parent, homelessness, drug abuse, addiction, PTSD, mental health issues, explicit language, sex, and violence
This book can be read as a standalone, but like any series, it's always appreciated more if read in order.

In Vindication is Book Six from my Kings of Boston series. It is also the last book in the series. If you've been following along since the beginning, you are very familiar with James Clery, attorney and best friends with Ronan O'Callaghan, the leader of the Irish Mob. James is the type of guy you love to hate, but want to read more about. We delve deep into James once we breach those thick walls to find out what really makes him tick and why he's the way he is.
From a blind date to lovers. Can two friends with benefits make the leap from hookups to ever after?
When Jane Bond’s entire world was turned upside down, she quit her job as a homicide detective with the Boston P.D. to start all over as a private investigator. After the disaster of her last job, and trying to rebuild her life, her sister set her up on a blind date. Anything to reduce the stress. But her date was the very lawyer from two years ago who disrupted her case. Now she had to decide if she wanted to go through with the date or tell him to buzz off. They were just friends with benefits, right, or was there something more?
Playboy and manwhore, attorney James Clery, strove to be the best. No woman would ever impede that. But after begging and pleading from his co-worker to go on a blind date, he agreed just to shut him up. Believing he’d be bored, dating Jane Bond made things much more interesting, remembering her from two years ago. But things didn’t go according to plan, and James found himself interested in Bond more than he should have. So, he hired her for a job that could make or break his career. Could he get past his sexual habits and find something real with her?
But those that destroyed Bond’s career were after her once more. Could James save her while struggling to come to grips with his growing feelings for her?
CW: Explicit language, violence, and sex.
Each story in this series can be read as a standalone, but it will be better understood and appreciated reading in order. You will get a better feel of the characters starting from the beginning.
