WILD HEARTS IS AVAILABLE NOW!
“Wild Hearts was one of the best books I've read this year, without a doubt.”
READ Wild Hearts NOW! It's available now and free to read with Kindle Unlimited!
The day I left Wilder Valley, I swore I’d never return. My dreams were too big for this small town, and I was determined to make it in LA, even if that meant leaving behind the man I loved.
Now I’m back, broken-hearted and publicly humiliated after a colossal breakup live-streamed to the masses. I have no career or money to show for my twenty-three years away. If I could hide out anywhere else on the planet, I would.
Instead, I resort to taking the only job in town. A nanny gig for my high school sweetheart.
Life didn’t go as planned for him either.
Ryan Wilder might be running his family ranch and looking like a tall glass of water while doing it, but he’s also drowning in responsibility, raising three children on his own, and dealing with the challenges of caring for his aging father.
We strike up a deal to help each other out. He offers me a place to stay along with a steady paycheck. In exchange I keep his teenagers out of trouble while figuring out my next step. Everything is perfect until those pesky little feelings from our youth come roaring back.
This time is different, though. We’ve experienced life and we know what we want. At least, I thought I did. All the dreams I had for myself existed outside of this town, but the more time I spend with Ryan and his family, the more I question everything. Including my wild heart.

The CAUGHT series is complete and in audio!
Did you see the news? Chase and Alicia's full story is now available in audio! Teddy Hamilton and Savannah Peachwood are outstanding in this story of redemption, healing, and second chances.
If you haven't read Caught in the Chase and Caught in Us, now is the perfect time! But don't just take my word for it...
"This duet is so well written and one I highly recommend."
"A skillfully crafted blend of drama, angst, twists and poignancy creates a potent and powerful storyline that delivers massive feels, a few tears and ultimately some major heart melting swoon."
"Kacey Shea put a lot of heart into this duet, the emotions of these characters jump off the pages and straight into your heart. It is great to see how much these characters grew and I loved who they became, especially Chase."
"Teddy Hamilton and Savannah Peachwood continue to deliver an outstanding performance bringing these characters and their story to life. They had a complete understanding of the characters they portrayed, give each a voice that fits their character’s persona to a tee, accents and all, sounding believable and just as I pictured the characters to sound. Both are versatile voice artists and entertaining storytellers and their narration enhances an already amazing story another level."

CAUGHT IN US is AVAILABLE NOW
“𝗜 𝗰𝗮𝗻’𝘁 𝗯𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗰𝘂𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳.”
I never expected Alicia Martin to walk back into my life. Not after the way she left. Not after her letter. Yet here she is, more alluring than ever, and with a secret that flips my world on its axis.
Three years ago I would have done anything to be with her, but now things are different. Complicated. I have a life here in Richmond, one I’m proud of and worked hard to build.
That doesn’t mean I’ve given up hope.
If anything, she’s restored my belief in second chances. The last time we were together, I gave her plenty of reasons to run. This time, I’ll convince her to stay.

“I’ll make this easy for you. From here on out here’s how it’s going to go. I play. You play. Don’t hit on me. Don’t flirt with me. Understood?”
She holds my stare until her eyes wander, traveling over my body and landing back at my lips much wider than before. I’m no mind reader, but that’s got to mean a part of her wants me, too.
