He knew how hard it was to follow in his brother's footsteps. Joseph Newman may have followed in his older brother into the military and now into a law-enforcement career, but that's where they were different. Wyatt was a police chief, serious, now married, and someone the community looked up to. Joseph enjoyed a beer with friends, loved a good joke, and didn't mind playing the field. Until he met her… the shy woman who barely spoke. And something told him, she needed a hero. But was he the man for the job? She knew how hard it was to break away from family. Shiloh Wallen, the newest waitress at the Seafood Shack, worked hard, kept to herself, just happy to have a job that afforded her the independence she'd never had. All she wanted was to feel normal while flying under the radar so her family couldn't find her. But the smiles of the handsome Joseph always made her feel special even if she knew he gave them freely to everyone. But he was law enforcement… someone she couldn't have. When her past comes back to haunt her, he wants to be the hero she needs. But maybe, she'll also find that a hero lies inside of her, as well. A Baytown Boys sub-series.Keeping the waterways of the Eastern Shore of Virginia safe, follow along as they find love. Small town romantic suspense. As an Best Selling Author, I have always been an avid reader. I joke that I "cut my romance teeth" on the old bodice ripper romance books. In 2013 I started a blog to showcase wonderful writers. In 2014, I finally gave in to the characters in my head pleading for their story to be told. Thus, Emma's Home was created.My first novel, Emma's Home became an Best Seller in 3 categories within the first month of publishing. Its success was followed by the rest of the Fairfield Series and then led into the Love's Series.My books are filled with sweet romance and hot sex; mystery, suspense, real life characters and situations. My heroes are alphas, take charge men who love the strong, independent women they fall in love with. When not writing, I worked as a counselor in a high school and have been involved in education for the past 30 years. I have just retired and look forward to more time with family and writing!I have been married to a wonderfully patient man for 34 years and have 2 adult, very supportive daughters.When writing, my dog or one of my cats will usually be found in my lap!I love to hear from readers, so please email me!
