The Trouble with Rylee

RELEASING: April 9, 2024

She witnessed a terrible crime…

So she goes to the only place she knows she’ll be safe—Detective Mateo Jackson’s house. He’s her older brother’s best friend and has starred in far too many of her fantasies. Even if he thinks of her as a nuisance, she knows he’ll keep her safe.

He’ll do anything to keep her safe…

Mateo has wanted Rylee for longer than he wants to admit. But he’s always kept his distance out of respect for her family. Now that she’s in danger, all bets are off. When they’re forced to share a roof, undeniable sparks fly, but unless he can keep her alive—and get over his own baggage—their relationship might never get off the ground.

Author note: this short novella was previously published under a different title but has been heavily edited and rewritten.
