Unexpected fatherhood, a newborn daughter and a nanny in the next bedroom he can't stop fantasizing about.
When a one-night stand announces I just became a father to a baby girl, my world is thrown into turmoil.
My choice: single fatherhood or sign adoption papers.
The decision is easy.
Within hours, I'm on a plane to collect my daughter.
I’m in over my head. I barely know one end of a baby from the other. Luckily, I have the perfect plan. I’ll hire live-in help, have limited involvement with the kid, and keep my life just the same as it’s always been.
I finally find a nanny who lives up to my exacting standards. But the only problem is, every time I look at her, the future I thought I wanted starts to crumble.
Nothing in my life is going according to plan… and the wriggling poo machine in my arms is unexpectedly worming her way into my heart.
Life was ordered and logical until I got myself two roommates and started falling in love with both of them.
A standalone romance.

BLURB
Sandra:
I'm a girl who doesn't need a man. I've tried, but love isn't in the cards for me. Until one night, one fateful evening—I fell and fell quick. The love that consumes me for Dominic Torano is epic, one of storybook fairy tales. That is until he asks for the one thing I'm unwilling to give him. It had been a decision I'd made, well before we’d met, and as much as I want, I can’t change, even if it is for the man I love with my whole heart.
Dominic:
I'm just a guy in love with a woman who evokes a sense of serenity in my life. It's a beautiful love story, mine and hers. Until she tells me she won't give me the one thing I've dreamt of my entire life—my own family. Do I walk away, stating we're not compatible, or do I choose a woman over my future children, children I've yet to meet?

EXCERPT
My sister swore a weekend at the lake would be fun, and as the bare-assed man I met last night slides out of my bed, I'd say she was right.
It should be awkward, right? I know his name. I know he's the brother of Daimen Torano, who is Chicago royalty. He's hot and likes to tell me what to do in the bedroom. It's all I know about him, but what more do I really need? When was the last time I had sex before last night? And how many orgasms did I have?
He looks back at me, sliding his jeans up and hiding the excellent view. "I had fun. Same time, same place tonight, Rosso?" It's what he's called me since we crossed paths last night. After all, he’s obsessed with my flaming red locks.
This is insane. I love sex, and I'm not a prude, but meeting a man a decade younger than me, only to repeat it tonight—I may be almost forty, but I'm not dead. Nor am I stupid.
"Sounds like a plan," I answer, and he slips out of the room.
And it was the plan, but in the typical way my life seems to work, nothing goes according to plan, leaving a second night with Dominic Torano to my imagination.

Release Date: January 5, 2024
BLURB
Humans are taught that death is the end, that it’s their soul’s final curtain call. But for the members of Valhalla Rising MC, death is only the beginning.
Acid…
My life was mediocre at best, but then I died and was escorted to Valhalla. I never thought of myself as a warrior, but rather a man who would do anything necessary to protect others. Which is exactly why Odin sends me back to the land of the living.
The woman I’m tasked with saving wants nothing to do with me, but my orders are to protect her at all costs. When strange things start happening on her farm, she relents and accepts my help, and I’m only too happy to provide it.
I know I can keep her safe, but I’m not at all sure about myself.
Peyton…
Some women spend their time searching for the perfect man, while others waste it on men who break them. I pride myself on not falling into either category. Men complicate things, leaving only pain and devastation in their wake. Which is why I prefer the company of my dogs.
Growing up in the foster care system, I never had any choice but to be independent. But when the life I’ve built is threatened, and I’m pushed beyond the limits of what I can handle alone, I’m forced to rely on the help of a handsome stranger.
Is he the answer to all my silent prayers, or will he destroy my heart even as he saves my life?

Genre: Contemporary YA Romance
Tropes: Coming of Age/High School
Friends to Lovers
Release Date: January 8, 2024
BLURB
Surviving high school was going to be hard enough, but surviving telling the one girl that he couldn’t live without how he felt was going to be one of the most difficult things that Sebastian Bradford was ever going to do.
From New York Times and USA Today’s bestselling author R.L. Mathewson comes the second novel in the Neighbor from Hell YA series that will bring it all back, leaving you unable to help but smile as you remember the first time that you fell in love.
For years, Sebastian has been lying to himself, doing whatever it took to convince himself that Mikey was just his best friend and the pain in the ass that he couldn’t stop thinking about and now…
He would do absolutely anything to stop screwing this up, but that probably wasn’t going to happen, not with his brother determined to help him. With every soul-crushing piece of advice his brother threw his way, Sebastian found himself thinking about everything that he had to lose if Mikey didn’t feel the same way and wondered if he was about to make the biggest mistake of his life.
The glaring was definitely starting to concern her, but Mikey had bigger problems to worry about than her best friend suddenly acting weird around her, like the teenage girl and her minions going out of their way to make her life a living hell. She couldn’t risk losing her scholarship, not when it meant that she would never be able to do the one thing that she loved more than anything again.

When life took an unexpected turn, I decided to get out of New York for a while. What better place to go than the idyllic small town my father spoke about so fondly when I was growing up? Laurel Lake held the title America’s Friendliest Town for seventeen years running, and friendly was just what I needed right now.
Unfortunately, friendly wasn’t the welcome I got when I arrived.
Instead, I got Fox Cassidy. My tall, dark, and burly neighbor, who grunted at me instead of saying hello.
Okay, so I might’ve had his mailbox in my hands the first time we met. And it might’ve been a little crushed after removing it from under my tire. And I might’ve needed his help breaking into the place I was staying in after the key broke off in the lock. But still…he didn’t have to be so grumpy.
As time went on though, I started to notice things about Fox other than his glares. Like how he watched me when he thought I wasn’t looking, or how fire ignited in his eyes whenever we bickered. Though I was in Laurel Lake to escape my problems, not create new ones. And getting involved with a man like Fox screamed trouble, even if he was gorgeous and unlike any man I’d ever met.
But alas, problem seemed to be my middle name this year. So why not have some fun while I was here for the summer? It seemed like a good plan. At least until it was time to go home…
They say what happens at the lake, stays at the lake. But it’s not so easy to walk away when what stays behind…is your heart.

There isn’t a person in the world who hasn’t committed a sin. Some sins are worse than others, but seven of them are deadly. But those seven worst of the worst? They’re what drive Saints Purgatory MC to keep fighting.
Grim…
They call me Grim, short for Grim Reaper. My President is the judge, my club the jury, and I’m the executioner. I may be different from my brothers, but death and destruction doesn’t give a damn about that. Our victims all bleed the same.
As the enforcer for Saints Purgatory MC, I’m perfect because I can’t hear anyone scream for mercy, not that I would show any. And when a puritanically-raised spitfire crashes into my life, my protective instincts overwhelm me. All I can think about is keeping her safe, even if it means exposing myself in ways I never have.
When a gluttonous sinner comes for her, will she let the Grim Reaper help, or will she run like so many others?
Violet…
As the engaged daughter of a televised pastor, my life is lived in the spotlight. My parents raised me to be a dutiful and godly wife, and I don’t dare disappoint them. But as my wedding approaches, what happens behind closed doors turns violent.
When reality becomes my worst nightmare, I reach out for help and get more than I bargain for. The silent man who storms into my world is as gentle as he is deadly. And he teaches me that brutality isn’t always a bad thing.
The Grim Reaper swears to protect me, no matter the cost, but is my heart as safe from him as I am from the sinner out to get me?
He is Saints Purgatory, and he’s a sinner who takes out the sinful.
