Alpha males with heart and the strong, independent women they fall in love with. A town full of wonderful secondary characters. Life, love, friendship. These are the stars of the Fairfield Series. Emma's Home (Fairfield, book 1) is the story of Emma and Jake, the high school counselor and detective who fall in love while solving a mystery in their home town. This book is for readers who love alpha males, who always put their women first and the independent women who find that having a loving alpha male in their life is just what they needed. Emma's Home is a stand-alone novel in a series.
I wrote Emma's Home in three months, but their story had been in my head for several years. I wanted a unique title and a unique cover. Emma, in her early thirties, is looking for a place to settle down and call home. She meets Jake, a man who knows that finding the right woman is challenging since he also takes care of his mother. The cover is original, showing the town of Fairfield at the bottom and the loving couple at the top.
As a high school counselor myself, I knew how to write Emma's character and make it believable. The hardest part of writing was Jake's character - I wanted him to be a take-charge alpha, without making him seem insensitive. My reviewers feel that I have accomplished that goal!
Emma's Home offers the perfect combination of sweet romance and hot sex. Some books are filled with very long sex scenes that tend to run together and if there is not a good story, then the book seems rather pointless. Emma's Home certainly has steamy scenes, but they support the story - they are not the focus of the story!
