Playing with Matches
Mia knows what's best for everyone, particularly when it comes to love and romance--at least she likes to think she does. When her sister gets engaged, marking Mia's first official successful match, she's elated. But despite that excitement, behind the scenes her life begins to unravel. Left behind to wrangle with her father's anxiety as well as her own; her sister suddenly stops talking to her. Struggling to pick up the pieces alone, she leans on her best friend Grayson, who's more than willing to be the port in whatever storm she's dealing with.
When a friend asks for help finding a date to an upcoming dance, Mia welcomes the distraction. Thinking it'd be an easy task, she soon realizes that getting some couples together is way more of a challenge than she thought it'd be. With an almost perfect match for her friend finally lined up, she discovers that her friend now wants Grayson. Her Grayson.
Faced with the prospect of losing the guy she never knew she wanted, helping her dad cope with his anxiety, and making amends with her sister, Mia's beyond overwhelmed. In the middle of all this swirling chaos, she must also decide if she's ready to take her own big risk and move across the country for college. Can Mia learn to let the pieces fall where they may and accept that just maybe she doesn't have to have all the answers?

The Heir and the Spare
THATS Book One
Family can be complicated. Especially when skeletons from the past pop up unexpectedly. For American Evie Gray, finding out her deceased mother had a secret identity, and not one of the caped crusader variety, was quite the surprise. Evie’s mom had a secret life before she was even born, one that involved tiaras.
In this modern day fairytale, Evie is on a path to figure out who her mom really was, while discovering for herself what the future will hold. Charged with her late mother’s letters, Evie embarks on a quest into her past. The first item on the list is to attend Oxford, her mom’s alma mater. There, Evie stumbles upon a real life prince charming, Edmund Stuart the second Prince of England, who is all too happy to be the counterpart to her damsel in distress.
Evie can’t resist her growing attraction to Edmund as they spend more time together trying to unravel the clues her mother left behind. But, when doubts arise as to whether or not Edmund could ever be with an untitled American, what really ends up unraveling is Evie’s heart. When Evie uncovers all the facts about her mom’s former life, she realizes her mom’s past can open doors she never dreamed possible, doors that can help her be with Edmund. But, with everything now unveiled, Evie starts to crack under the pressure of new family responsibilities and the realization that her perfect prince may want her for all the wrong reasons.
Everyday Magic
THATS Book Two
For once, Maggie McKendrick just wants to control her own life. Her overbearing Hollywood director father has it all planned out for her: UCLA, law school, then working as an entertainment lawyer, preferably for him. But Maggie has other, more creative-spirit friendly, plans. Namely, Thrippletons School of Fashion and Design in England, and then onto becoming a designer, preferably a wildly successful one. The big snag in her plan? Getting it past her dad.
A movie shoot takes the family to the Scottish Highlands for the summer, and closer to Maggie’s dream school. While there, she runs into the charming Preston Browne. Maggie is intrigued and decides to bend her no guys rule—instituted after her ex used her to get close to her dad. Forced to keep secrets from Preston in order to protect the future plans she’s made, Maggie finds herself falling for the tall Brit. And for once in her life she knows that he’s interested in her, not her Hollywood connections. When Maggie's father blackmails her into dating his lead actor, she isn’t left with a choice. The biggest problem isn’t having to date hunky, mega-hottie, Ben Chambers. No, it’s praying she doesn’t lose Preston in the process.
Excelling at her dream school, Maggie’s personal life is a tangled mess. She needs to decide if living a lie is worth losing Preston or chance going against her father and facing his wrath. When the tabloids expose the truth of her fake relationship with Ben, Maggie's world is thrown into a tailspin. Ultimately, Maggie must find the courage to take risks and forge ahead on her own path.
