Book Basset

Ellie’s whole life hinges on the answer to one question.

Ellie has just landed back in Cliff Haven after an out-of-this-world trip, leaving her with more questions than an alien quizmaster at a galactic trivia night.

But she can’t worry about her personal life right now. A man has been murdered and another has gone missing. If that’s not enough for her to deal with, the body was found in the center of a cornfield marred by crop circles.

Coincidence?

Has a band of extraterrestrial pranksters killed one man and abducted another, or is this all part of an elaborate hoax?

As Ellie probes deeper into the case, she uncovers more than just crop circles – she stumbles upon a cosmic conspiracy that could leave the whole town starstruck. Can she and her terrestrial team uncover the truth before it’s too late?

Join Ellie and her galaxy of friends on this adventure as they piece together the interstellar puzzle of Cliff Haven’s very own “Cosmic Conspiracy.” It’s a wild ride that will leave you laughing at light speed and begging for more space-age shenanigans!

The only thing worse than being stuck in an RV with your enemy? Having to pretend you’re madly in love.

Lance Blakeman is an up-and-coming literary agent with a chance to represent the biggest horror writer since Stephen King. Unfortunately, the client doesn’t want to work with a bachelor. Lance needs a fiancée — fast.

Lainey Fredrickson is a struggling artist making ends meet by waitressing at a local diner. Or, she had been, until pretty boy Lance got her fired for accidentally spilling a beer on him. The way he carried on, you’d think she had deliberately doused him with radioactive waste. Now, she has exactly $4.23 to her name — not enough for an iced latte, let alone rent.

When Lance offers Lainey cash to pose as his fiancée, she can’t afford to say no, even if it means spending a week in a cramped RV with him. But can they fool the client without fooling themselves? There’s a fine line between love and hate. And with kisses this sweet, the line is bound to get blurred.

Not Happy Campers is a laugh-out-loud funny, clean romantic comedy with sizzling chemistry, witty banter, and spine-tingling kisses. If you love a good enemies to lovers or fake relationship story that ends with happy ever after, this book is for you!
