Chase was never part of my plan.
A windstorm is hitting when I find him on the hotel rooftop.
He’s young. Wild. Impulsive. Standing at the edge of twenty stories, until I grab his arm.
And then I realize he doesn’t recognize who I am.
Chase sees me, not just the hot new actor. And he's in pain.
He's straight, but he wants to try something with me.
And then he becomes obsessed. And I cross a line I swear I never would again.

Logan is everything I’m not.
He’s perfect. Golden-haired. Then I find out he’s a star on TV.
I’m pure chaos, wrapped in a red-flag bow with a sprinkling of ADHD and touch fixation.
I admit my hands are needy, but he's starved for touch, too.
I don't do this with men, but he's mysterious. Intriguing. So different from me.
My art is my world, and I paint in neon, take vivid photos, and want to capture him, too.
I’m getting possessive, greedy, hungry... addicted to his touch.
He’s not mine.
But when we’re together, I tell him he is. Over and over again.
And I'm starting to believe it.

Chase is a standalone MM romance about two guys who don’t make any sense together, but they're pulled to each other in a magnetic, obsessive, all-consuming way.

Chase is a standalone MM romance about two men who meet by chance and find themselves drawn to each other when neither of them is truly ready for a relationship. 

Chase is a bartender and artist who is struggling with his sobriety, while Logan is a rising TV star trying to navigate his newfound fame while carrying the weight of grief and his past. 

Even though Chase has always considered himself straight, he can’t deny the connection he feels with Logan, and the two begin a secret, casual situationship. It quickly becomes clear that they’re both carrying a lot of emotional baggage, and while their attraction is undeniable, their relationship isn’t healthy.

 When Logan returns home to Los Angeles, they decide to end things. During the year they’re apart, they both put in the work to heal, face their personal struggles, and grow into healthier versions of themselves. 

When Logan comes back to New York a year later, the difference in both of them is obvious.

 Their chemistry is still as strong as ever, but this time it’s paired with maturity, trust, and genuine support for one another. I really loved seeing how much they had grown and how they were finally able to build the relationship they both deserved. 

This was such a beautiful, emotional story that kept me invested from beginning to end.

Gideon has had complete control of the town and state he lives in for two years, and powerful people answer to him. His twins are thriving, his love for Penn is unshakable, and life is good…until the glass shatters and it all comes crashing down. He’s forced to fight back, which risks not only his empire but the lives of those he loves.

Penn’s life is nothing like he imagined it would be. He has the love of a gorgeous man, the adoration of his twins, and a family who, though meddling at times, would jump in front of a bullet for him. It doesn’t matter that Penn feels no pain or fear; they treat him like he’s fragile, and sometimes he’s okay with that. But when danger rolls into town, threatening those he loves and the life he’s built, he wonders if this feeling that’s leaving him so cold could be fear.

Gideon and Penn’s happily ever after is tested as everything around them crumbles, lives are destroyed, and empires fall. No strangers to fighting for what’s theirs, they find themselves facing an enemy like no other before. Their love has burned so bright, but when the last shot has been fired, it could mean their end.

Be My Ruin is book 2 in my Be Mine Series. It’s recommended you read book 1, Be My Monster first.

Penn and Gideon’s relationship continues to evolve beautifully, and their bond feels stronger than ever. Their connection is believable, heartfelt, and unwavering, making it easy to root for them every step of the way.

The spice in this installment is outstanding—passionate, meaningful, and seriously hot. It perfectly complements the emotional depth of their relationship rather than overshadowing it.

The story also delivers a major twist that completely caught me off guard, along with some tantalising hints about what’s to come for the rest of the crew. It left me even more excited to continue the series.

If you enjoy MM romance with high stakes, compelling characters, plenty of suspense, and sizzling chemistry, this is definitely one to pick up.

Snow Creek Ranch, Colorado, is so far removed from my preferred city life that I wonder if I made a mistake coming here. No suits, crappy internet, and everyone knows the new guy in town immediately.

The scenery is nice, though. And by scenery, I mean the cowboys on the ranch. One cowboy in particular. Forget the majestic mountains and the serenity of Snow Creek; Colt Beckworth puts them both to shame with one perfectly timed smile.

He’s the tall, silent type. While not exactly a willing or forthcoming collaborator in terms of helping me do my job, his shy smiles and slightly awkward exchanges make it easy to like him, though. Especially when he takes the time to listen to me ramble about hashtags and photo filters when he has a million better things to do.

Colt makes me feel like I’m the most important thing in his life, and I know I shouldn’t get attached, but working with him every day doesn’t help.

Can I influence the shy cowboy to take a risk with me when my contract is up?

Or am I leaving Snow Creek Ranch with my heart in pieces?

This is an MM cowboy romance featuring tests of friendship with cream soda, swooning by the river, nosy townspeople at paint night and a new found love of cigars and fly fishing. An opposites attract, forced proximity, city meets country romance. It’s part of the Snow Creek Ranch multi-author series. Each book can be read as a standalone, in any order, but there are so man cowboys falling in love, why not read them all.

AVAILABLE NOW

I really enjoyed The Influencer and the Introvert. Colt is a hardworking ranch hand who has dedicated his life to caring for the horses on the ranch. After losing his parents at a young age, he was raised with the support of his close-knit community, leaving him with a deep sense of loyalty and responsibility to the people who helped him.
When Ethan is hired to manage the ranch’s social media, their worlds couldn’t be more different. As their relationship develops, they both encourage each other to step outside their comfort zones and consider new possibilities for the future.
Ethan’s outgoing personality complemented Colt’s quieter nature, and together they made a sweet, believable couple.

BLURB

From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward comes a new, STANDALONE contemporary romance…

Nothing says welcome home like accidentally moving in with your first heartbreak…and his little girl.

Coming back to my small Wyoming hometown was supposed to be temporary. I only planned to stay long enough to help my ailing mother and sort through the mess of my family’s old belongings.

Instead, I somehow ended up living in Evan Ricci’s house. The single dad now owned a bunch of properties and one of them was the place I’d rented. He’d taken it off the market and moved in before I got there. I just never got the memo. Unfortunately, there was no other place in town available, so Evan let me stay.

Evan—the guy my parents took in years ago after his mother died.

The same Evan who used to dare me into ridiculous challenges that somehow always made me stronger—a game we’d dubbed The Challenge.

The same guy who ultimately rejected me before I left for college after I’d finally garnered the courage to shoot my shot.

Now Evan was a rugged single dad with an eight-year-old daughter, a cocky attitude, and a dangerous ability to make me forget every reason I should still hate him.

Sharing a house with him should’ve been unbearable. Instead, it felt dangerously familiar, nearly making me forget that I had a life and a job to get back to in Chicago. I realized the biggest challenge wasn’t surviving living with Evan Ricci.

It was not falling in love with him all over again.

Riley Hart

When I first laid eyes on Zuri Alexander, I knew she was mine.

And becoming more than friends was just as easy as breathing.

But she doesn’t know my secrets. There’s a dark side to the family business. So, I lie to her to cover it up.

I know she can feel the wall building between us, and I want nothing more than to tear it down…but the only way to do that is to share my truth with her.

That the girl she’s dating is involved in organized crime.

But When Zuri becomes a target of what appears to be some red pill incel, I know we’re the only ones who can keep her safe.

I just hope she can trust me one last time.

Because my devotion to her means there is nothing I won’t do to protect her.

Sweet Devotion is a 24k word FF novella that contains violence, misogyny and discussion of losing parents.

Zuri and Aislin are absolutely fit!  I loved watching them learn to trust, open up, and find the happiness they both deserved. Their journey was heartfelt, emotional, and had me rooting for them from beginning to end.

The O’Shea family  are loving, protective, and so supportive of Zuri and Aislin’s relationship. I especially loved getting to spend time with the whole family and seeing them finally happy after everything they’ve been through.

This was such a sweet, emotional romance, and I finished it with a smile on my face.
