Van Zant Series: Bk 1: Jessica LEARNING TO BREATHE

Are you ready to meet Jessica?  

Like her sister Jessica has red hair and green eyes but that is where the resemblence ends...

5 Fun Facts

1. Jessica is a recovering-rope addict.
2. Jessica is a mom of teenagers.        
3. Jessica is a War Hero's widow.        
       4. Jessica drinks whiskey like an Irishman  
5. Jessica cusses like a sailor              


The celebrated widowed wife of a hometown hero, Jessica leaves Boston for a fresh start in a Cape Hatteras beach house with her teen children. She never suspects to fall hard for her new boss, Joe, at the fish and beer shop where she bartends. When he accidentally triggers her need for rope, she needs a quick fix for a shibari addiction she’d believed herself long cured of.

A drunk dialing moment leads to her sister’s fiancé—a man who has tied her in the past—delivering Francisco, the man he considers to be a shibari-master perfect match, and Jessica has a great long weekend in and out of his rope. But then Francisco asks her to allow him to dominate her full-time.

Jessica runs scared and ends up in bed with Joe. When she shares her secret love of bondage, Joe insists she’s the victim of deviant men and he would offer her a normal, healthy love. Wounded by his misunderstanding, she runs again.

As if her sex life isn’t complicated enough, a case of mistaken identity catches her in the crosshairs of an assassin. While Jessica’s seeking sanctuary in Cincinnati for the holidays, her sister gifts her with a night with a shibari master who goes by the name of St. Nicholas. She quickly finds herself on the naughty list but will she also find a man willing to be the guy who makes her laugh, keeps her tied in knots, and give no demands for more?

Now Available! Jessica's story!

Sometimes an author is gifted with a story that writes itself. When I started this series, Alexandra occupied every moment of my heart and mind for months... and then Jessica pushed her way in and demanded my attention. And let me tell you, Jessica took my breath away.

I really love Jessica's story and I hope you will love it too!
