All Trey Braddock wants is to celebrate his best friend’s wedding. His Christmas list does not include wait staff dressed as reindeer, nor a tipsy bride with tinsel on her train. Certainly he never asked for Sandy Hackford, the high school jock who, ten years ago, walked off with Trey’s heart.

But it is, after all, the holidays: a time for friends, family, and giving thanks. Sure, there will be horrible toasts, an awkward dance or two, his first crush in a three-piece suit ... Trey has it handled. He’s made a career out of ignoring Sandy. It’ll be a piece of precariously balanced wedding cake.

Except Sandy is no longer ignoring him. No matter the holiday, though, this is no time for forgiveness, and Trey isn’t ready to pardon the thief of his first kiss ... even if it means there will be another.

one door closes

Three foster brothers are called home to Neverwood, the stately Pacific Northwest mansion of their youth. They have nothing in common but a promise to Audrey, the woman they all called mother…

​Years ago, Calvin Ware found a refuge in Neverwood, a home for wayward boys. Now, following the death of his foster mother Audrey, he's returned to fulfill her request to restore the decrepit Victorian mansion to its former purpose.

Under the threat of repossession, Cal clashes with his foster brothers over restoration plans while fending off the unscrupulous developer who is breathing down his neck. Audrey's well-meaning presence in his dreams does more harm than good as he struggles to cope with it all. What's more, the contractor he hires to get the building up to code turns out to be Will Cabot, his high school flame.

As they begin working together, Cal finds he still has feelings for his first love. But his mistakes of years ago threaten their future, just as they ruined their past, and Cal knows he can't withstand the heartbreak a second time.
REVIEWS

"It’s a romance with a more literary quality to it. Even the intimate scenes, while kind of graphic, were treated with a soft focus filter, giving those moments a softer, hesitant quality that fit Calvin’s personality to a T."  
~Book and Coffee Addict

"Calvin Ware makes for a highly relatable narrator, but he will throw surprises down just when you start to feel comfortable with him..."
~Chick Lit and Wine

"I will freely admit that I when I started this book, I really had no idea what it was about. So, I was pleasantly surprised when I started reading it and was drawn into the story right away."
~The Blogger Girls

"This is a great start to an excellent anthology. While this can most definitely be read as a standalone, I highly recommend reading all three of the stories so that you can watch each foster brother as they not only find love, but are brought together as brothers to save the home their mother loved so dearly."

Book Reviews

condoms and hot tubs
​don't mix

An Anthology of Awkward Sexcapades​
Check out my short story, Laid Over, in this titillating anthology!
​
Real sex isn't as graceful and glamorous as romance novels and pornography often portray.

Real sex is learning you have a latex allergy while you lose your virginity.

And so, the stories, essays, poems, and comics in Condoms and Hot Tubs Don't Mix offer realistic sex scenes to counter the overly coercive and falsely romantic scenes portrayed by books, films, and TV shows.

Sometimes, the sex is funny.
Sometimes, it's messy.
Sometimes, it's a total disaster.
But every time, it's real.

The writers and editors donate all their proceeds from this book to Planned Parenthood.
​
(Because who knows the consequences of awkward sex better than Planned Parenthood?)

The Lost Year 
​by Libby Drew​

Going home is never easy.

Cal struggles to recover from past heartbreak, while Danny fears his mistakes are too big to overcome. Devon believes he may never break down the barriers that separate him from honest emotion.

On the path to brotherhood, they discover the old mansion holds more than dusty furniture and secret passageways. Audrey's spirit still walks its halls, intent on guiding "her boys" toward true love, and an old mystery stirs up a new danger—one that could cost the men far more than just the house.
