Something happened to Kylie McKinley during her freshman year in college. Something no one knows about. The thing is:
she
can’t remember it fully, so what could she possibly have to say about it? Why, then, does it keep screwing with her head so much? When another, far braver girl than she comes forward with a story that is eerily similar to Kylie’s, it turns dangerous and implicates people whom Kylie is convinced everyone will believe instead of her. Bolstered by this girl, Kylie finally finds the necessary strength after two years of indecision. Will it be enough to finally end the silence that has almost broken her?
Then she realizes exactly whom her accusations will pit her against.
Tristan Tamasy just graduated from business school and plans to do the job his grandfather reserved for him for over a decade. He will be the next head of the Tamasy legacy. Tristan is smart, focused, cultured, and ready to expand their family’s corporation on a global scale. Tristan is nothing like his younger brother, whose antics have lately started disrupting everything. Now, Tristan has been commissioned for damage control after two girls start making noise against his brother. That’s when he meets Kylie McKinley. From the start, she challenges the road he has chosen for his life. After he starts to realize she might be telling the truth about his brother, his integrity to do what is right conflicts with his loyalty to the family he’s been groomed to protect. It tests everything he believes about himself and threatens to squelch the feelings he has for the one woman he should never want.
The Perfect Sister (Sister Series, #7)
Ally McKinley has been told how perfect she is so often that she now strives to live up to that ideal. Her father abandoned her family when she was a just a kid, but it taught her the importance of taking care of herself. She must keep everything around her under perfect order and control to avoid ever again being so blindsided. Her type A personality helped her sail through school and her college years, but that merely reinforces the positive aspects to being so perfect.
It also prevents almost everyone from ever seeing who she really is.
Nate Stratton attends the same college. He is in the same grade, majoring in the same subject, and even shares family with Ally. Ally is smart, funny, sarcastic, and, to everyone else’s eyes, the perfect college senior, about to take her world by storm. Nate, however, finds Ally’s need for perfection ridiculous, especially after he learns the secret he’s pretty sure no one, not even her sister or mother, know about her. Her secret threatens her health as well as her life. He thinks she is taking a stupid gamble to uphold her illusion of perfection. What good is striving to be perfect if she never allows herself to feel anything real? He intends to show her that imperfection is far more interesting than trying to live up to an ideal that might ultimately kill her.

Her diagnosis of Obsession Compulsive Disorder seems to be nature’s cosmic joke. Why else would she have one of the most emotionally messy people alive for a mother? She lives in fear that she will repeat the myriad mistakes of her mother and becomes so obsessed, she can do nothing wrong. But now she is ready to embark upon a new life; she must find a job, and her own place and finally act her age.
The only requirement is to keep her OCD from interfering with her new life, so at the very least, she must totally hide it from everyone else.

She, coincidentally, also has a history of mental health issues, which Chris is not above using against her. But first, he must determine if he is trying to destroy his dad, or accelerate his own ambition. Meanwhile, he worries if, in the end, what he wants will be at odds with what he should do.

About the Author
I live in the rainy area of Western, Washington, and spend as much time as I can getting away from the rain by traveling to destinations all across the state where my family and I do tons of camping, boating, fishing, and horseback riding. Many of the locations we camp become the basis for my books. Most of my settings are fictional but are based on real places.
