Love's Tricky

A fiery, independent gig worker. A new-in-town, ex-military army ranger. Bullets, lies, and heart-warming romance. What could go wrong? Welcome to small-town Northedge, where lovers get their due and so do the bad guys.

Avril Guerra has lived on her own since she was fifteen. At twenty-five, she's managed to keep loneliness at bay with school, work, and friends. That is, until she meets Xavier Nicodemus.

Xavier Nicodemus, the tattooed stranger, missed his flight and is spending the night in Northedge. When conversation flows into laughter and hot kisses, Xavier promises Avril he'll call her the next day when his plane lands. He doesn't. Instead, she sees him a month later on her employer's doorstep.

Avril wonders what the hell he's doing back in town.

Xavier wonders what the hell Avril's doing at his uncle's house in a bikini.

Evil Returns.

Just when Avril thinks she's found a man worth loving, a bad man gunning for revenge returns to town after ten years. He's about to blow up her life, and she's determined to run him out of town like last time. Will Xavier forgive Avril for keeping him in the dark? Will Avril forgive Xavier for not trusting her? Hard to say.

Everyone Knows Love's Tricky.
