1 y separately published work icon Catch a Shooting Star Olivia Ventura , Ohio : Ellora's Cave , 2012 18918960 2012 single work novel romance

'A cleaner, a football player, and a drug scandal... who said wishes don't come true?

'Social misfit Jessamy James pays the bills with a cleaning job so she can do what she really loves--tell stories to children. When she meets NFL superstar Nathan Powell while scrubbing unknown substances from his kitchen floor, Jess is as wary as she is confused. Never has she met a man with so much trust in the world, and he's never met anyone he couldn't charm. Outwardly, they're complete opposites, but Nathan is intrigued by Jess's reclusive attitude, and she's drawn to his open personality. The attraction between them is inevitable.

'When Nathan is dragged into a drug scandal, Jess is caught up in the media storm and finds her own vocation slipping through her fingers. As they struggle to clear his name and rescue both their careers, Jess and Nathan discover that sometimes all you can do is wish upon a shooting star.'

'A hot cop, a handywoman in killer heels, and a not-so-idle threat... it's going to take more than a pink hammer to fix-it.

'Veronica, a self confessed girly-girl, often finds herself labelled a bimbo—and just doesn't care. An ex-economist turned handyperson, Vee is not afraid to be female, period. So what if it happens to be in a male-dominated industry?

'When Vee threatens a client with a hammer to ward off his wandering hands, she finds herself at the local police station facing charges of assault. There she meets Detective Cole Samuels, and the sparks thrown off by their mutual animosity are combustive. They quickly become involved in a hot and heavy relationship, leaping one hurdle after another. Things finally seem to be working out when Vee's workplace is vandalized, a message left... and suddenly, that crank call and the near-miss with the crazy driver don't seem to be harmless incidents anymore. Vee's stalker rapidly escalates in violence, leaving Cole determined to find him before Vee gets hurt....'
