For a Reason (Sizzling Miami, #2)

With his last chance at a new start going up in smoke, Ian isn't prepared for the help of a tatted up former marine with issues that rival his own.
Former Marine and full-time big brother, Bull Connor spends his days helping those in need of a second chance and his nights fighting the inner demons that won't let go. During a routine tow he comes face to face with the only person who refuses to need him and the one man he wishes would.
As a throwaway, Ian Jones is used to being alternately overlooked or ridiculed but hasn't given up on the idea that with just one chance he could turn it all around. Rescued by the one person who neither overlooks nor ridicules him, he longs to be seen as more than just a man in need.
Ian isn't pining for the family he's never known but when they descend, unwanted and uninvited, Bull must prove that he's the man who will protect Ian's long-neglected heart by sharing the demons that torment his wounded soul.

Like many readers, I've dreamed of being a writer most of my life. Thanks to social media, I was able to follow my favorite authors and hoped to glean some words of wisdom as I pounded out half-formed ideas with alarming regularity.
- Great writers read voraciously.
- Great writers write every day. It doesn't matter if the muse is on break or the words are crap, write anyway.
The first I had down pat. The second...there are days it's like pulling teeth, but I put words down. Even if I know I'm going to delete them later, there's always the chance that there might be a bloom among the weeds. With three series in the works and a full schedule of releases planned for the next two years, it's been amazing to have made this dream my reality.
I am a firm believer in marriage equality, love at first sight, power dynamics, and happily ever after. I'm a lover of strong secondary characters and series filled with families-biological or chosen. All are themes you'll find throughout my books.
