The only silver lining is a rundown old house my estranged aunt left to me in Starlight Bay, Massachusetts.That is, until I run head-on—literally—into Jackson Montgomery, local hometown superstar and the best contractor in town. He offers to help with renovations so I can rent it as a side hustle once I find a job and move back to Boston. Unfortunately, he does not offer to date me, which is a crying shame because he’s exactly what I didn’t know I was looking for.Jackson:I’ve never made a New Year’s resolution until this year. Why? Because 99.9% of people break them within six weeks. But after my girlfriend cheated on me with my (ex-) best friend, I knew I had to do it. Give up dating for at least a year, but maybe the rest of adulthood.What I hadn’t counted on was meeting Harper, a perky city girl just begging to be kissed. Fixing up her late aunt’s house was proving to be a bigger job than I could handle in the feelings department and I didn’t like it one little bit. I just needed to get her fixer-upper fixed so she could get out of Starlight Bay before something happened I couldn’t repair with a hammer and some nails.NEW YEAR’S RENOVATIONS is a standalone, small-town steamy romance novella destined to give you all the feels!

Four on the Floor


Parker Grey - 2019
    Just me… and the four men who want to share me. It was supposed to be three months of solitude and reflection. I’d paint all day, then maybe read before going to bed early. I thought I’d be surrounded by quiet, retiring artists. I didn’t think those artists would be the world’s biggest rock band, taking a break from being in the spotlight. And I definitely didn’t think they’d seduce me, one by one… and sometimes together. There’s Cash, the drummer, who has smoldering eyes and muscles I can’t take my eyes off of. There’s Dalton, the bassist, who has a body sculpted from marble and a smile that makes me melt. There’s Gavin, the British guitarist whose accent does things to me… and whose hands do much, much dirtier deeds. And finally, there’s Slate, the mysterious lead singer whose voice alone makes me shiver. I can’t help myself. They’re commanding, dominant, and so irresistible I can’t say no. And best of all? They want to share me. All four of them. Four on the Floor is a complete standalone about an artist and the rock band who shares her. It’s a seriously steamy romance, but there’s zero M/M action - don’t worry, all the attention is on her!
