A quirky, and nosy, extended family, an irritating yet hot-as-hell stranger. My world may never be the same.

Kora

I love my hometown. That's why I came back to Orlinda Valley after college. It was easy to step into my job as a teacher, but my luck with finding the perfect man has not been so simple.

Until Kai Lawson appeared out of nowhere. The truck he drove into town was as loud and obnoxious as he was hot and mysterious. He got under my skin immediately, and I tried to avoid him at all costs-though in this town, that's far easier said than done.

As the days passed, he became more ingrained in our community-and my circle of friends-which drew us closer together and caused the heat between us to intensify. Soon it became impossible to ignore the magnetic pull of his crystal-clear gaze or the charge that sparked between us when we touched.

Just when it seemed like we were getting closer, someone from Kai's past appeared out of nowhere, and secrets he didn't want me to know were revealed. He began to shut me out, and turned away from what could have been.

Now I have to prove to Kai that you aren't always a product of your upbringing, family is more than blood, and love is worth fighting for.

No One But You is the first book in the Orlinda Valley series. The series is a heartwarming and steamy contemporary romance that will leave you craving moonlit kisses, and the kind of love that blooms when you least expect it.

Stacey Kempt has had a past riddled with unfaithful, rude, and disrespectful men. To protect her heart, she has chosen to avoid any more issues and put all relationships on the back burner, focusing instead on her family, friends, and her career as a nurse.

That is until she meets Tristan Calhoun and her well-laid-out plans become difficult to follow.

Tristan is hot, sexy, rich, and surprisingly caring. He doesn't play games and knows what he wants-a trustworthy woman who will open her heart and love him for him, not his family's money. To Tristan, Stacey is all those things. He falls first, and he falls hard.

As Tristan and Stacey's relationship starts heating up, the walls Stacey has carefully built around her heart slowly start to crumble, and she finds herself with feelings she didn't want to feel, until fear and insecurity set in. Her past relationships have proven to her that everyone has a fault, and she is determined to find his and break things off before he breaks her heart.

Will Stacey's past relationships and trust issues push a wedge between her and Tristan's relationship that she may not be able to repair, or will she realize that sometimes good men aren't hard to find. He's right there in front of her and wants nothing more than her love, forever.
