If you haven’t had the chance to read The Summer I Found home, you can start today!

Being a pilot is all I’ve ever known.
I served my country and I’m damn proud of my career.
But sacrifices were made, especially when it came to family.
I’ve missed first steps, first days of school, and first dates to name a few.
My kids grew up. They’re having families of their own.
Was it worth it?
When an opportunity brings me to Seaside, I jump feet first no questions asked.
It means experiencing all those firsts with my grandkids.
With family as my focus and my guard down, I don’t even see Faye coming.
She may have been my first love, but I’m quickly learning she’s a force to be reckoned with and has me holding on for dear life.
I thought our ship had sailed, but now that I’m home for good—I just might get more than one second chance.

I’m just about to head out to spend the day with my family, but I wanted to take a quick minute and drop in to say hello and wish you a Merry Christmas (if you celebrate) and Happy Holiday season to those who might not. No matter what, life is too short not to spend it with the ones you love. I hope you’re making every moment count and finding joy this season. You may not know this, but you have truly been the best gift of 2025. Without you I wouldn’t be where I am today. I can’t even begin to express my gratitude for your continued support. Who knew just 6 short years ago I’d be writing my 16th book?!?! Every read, share and post I see about you enjoying my words motivates me to write more. I’ve had some major plot bunnies recently, and I’ve got a few things in the works and I can’t wait to see what 2026 brings. Thank you for being on this journey with me. I am truly blessed, Amanda P. S, Here’s a gift to heat up your holiday.

❄️ The Summer Ultimatum is FREE for a limited time   ❄️ Watching my sister fall in love last summer gave me something I hadn’t expected—hope. It gave me hope that there might be someone out there for me and hope that I might get past my misguided fears and finally let someone in. With my help, Ryan’s planning the most epic proposal. I just have to get the know-it-all musician I work with to fall in line to make it work. Jax is wicked smart, extremely talented, and sexy as sin. But he can’t see the forest for the trees when it comes to his potential. He’d rather keep playing in dive bars along the coast than take a real shot at success. When the Seaside festival has a music competition, I present Jax with an ultimatum that will either make or break both our careers. I’ve laid it all on the line, but can he? What to expect:  ✔️ Rockstar Romance ✔️ Meet the Lancaster Family ✔️ Stand alone story ✔️ Talent Scout ✔️ Seaside Festival ✔️ The Ultimatum that changes everything 𝐆𝐞𝐭 𝐢𝐭 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞➞  https://books2read.com/SummerUltimatum

Are you ready for a second chance, falling for the nanny, age gap romance?

The Summer Arrangement is now available! Start reading today: https://geni.us/AMTSA

One, two, three—it’s all down to me.
As the youngest and only single Lancaster, I’m eager to spend my summer in Seaside, Oregon, with my sisters. It’s something I’ve looked forward to all year, and I’m determined to make every minute count. After all, I’ve only got one year before I graduate from college and have to adult for real.
However, if I want to graduate debt free, I need to work. I have a lead on the perfect summer job with the nanny agency I’ve spent the last three summers catering to.
I just have to win over an adorable three-year-old and convince her single dad I’m the right one for the job.
Simple enough, right?
Except when I show up at his door, I’m shocked to find he’s the guy I hooked up with last semester.
This cannot be happening.
I need this job. There’s too much on the line to walk away. Maybe we can put the past behind us and make some sort of summer arrangement?

Have you met Derek Fallon?
Work brings him temporally to Bear Creek, Colorado. 
His noisy neighbors have him fleeing his apartment at an ungodly hour.
He runs into the sexy neighbor from down stairs and sparks fly the moment they meet.
She’s feisty, fun, and extremely competitive. She’s also focused on running her business and doesn’t have time for anything long-term.
It’s the perfect set up for a fling—but what if he wants more?

Grab He Saved My Boy for only 99 pennies while you can!
Davis is the first guy to catch my attention since… hell I don’t even know.
Instantly, he made me think and feel things I forgot existed. It has been forever since I put my needs first, so I took the chance and let him light me up from the inside out.
Our night was the kind that will ruin me for all others.
But then I got the dreaded call I rushed out without a second glance, knowing I’d likely never see him again.
My son will always come first – Always.
Imagine my surprise when Davis walks in and he’s the only one who can save my boy.
This cannot be happening – I guess it’s time to pull up my big girl panties and see what happens.

Five years ago today, I published my first book, Resilience. Sam and Enzo hold a special place in my heart. She was a single mom not looking for love and he gave her the happily ever after she had no idea she even wanted.

Resilience is the book that transitioned me from being a writer to an official author! Little did I know in January of 2020, just how much my life has chaged. Who would have thought I would be starting my publishing career when the world was shutting down. I published 4 books in 2020. Now, I’ve published a total of 14 books and participated by writing in at least 4 short stores for anthologies.

I couldn’t do any of this without you, the reader. Thank you for taking a chance on me as an author. Thanks for reading and sharing my books with your friends. I’ve met so many people who have supported me along the way and I am forever grateful! I can’t wait to see what the next 5 years bring!

PS – if you have yet to meet Sam & Enzo, you can find them here: https://geni.us/B2RResilience

#LetsGetNaughty #HolidayRomance

Samantha never saw Enzo coming.
As the dust settles from her divorce, her life is full. She doesn’t have time for distractions. She’s too busy running her own company and checking off numerous items from her kids’ demanding schedule to have a life of her own.
Then he walks into her kitchen with his breathtaking green eyes and a mischievous grin. He’s there to surprise his father – her contractor, but his presence makes everything off kilter.
Enzo’s perfectly content with his adventurous life as an elite rescue pilot, until a harmless prank turns on him. Instead of surprising his father, he finds his world thrown off course by the beautiful woman with a sexy smile, wicked sass and the mouthwatering ability to keep him on his toes.
With his limited time on leave, is she worth the risk to his heart?

💕For a Limited time Grab Damien for only 99 Pennies 💕

Beautiful girls are not hard to find at Columbia River University.
The coeds on campus are great to look at but I was over that scene after graduation three years ago.
These days, outside of being part of the largest civil engineering job on campus, all I’m searching for is a decent meal and some peace and quiet. It’s why I’m happy to have found what I consider a hidden gem in the diner I frequent.
All I need to do is finish this job and move on to the next by year’s end.
Should be easy enough. Only when Vanessa walks up with a sexy smile and a mouth full of sass, she does more than take my order. She completely takes my breath away.
Next thing I know, I’m here every morning, making every excuse to dine with this intriguing woman. Not only is she smart and sexy, but she’s laser focused on reaching the goals she’s set for herself.
The more I get to know her, the more I’m convinced she’s the one. I just have to find a way to get her to deviate from her perfectly laid plans and take a chance on me.
