Melanie Crane has
always been the perfect daughter, friend, student – she’s been perfect at
everything, in fact. But when she lets her insecurities, the ones that she
keeps hidden from everyone, get the best of her, she falters in her pursuit of
perfection. Melanie crumples under the pressure and buries her pain. Numbed by
sadness and guilt, she is determined never to let anyone find out how broken
she really is.
Bryan Mahoney may
appear to have everything in order. He’s charming, witty and completely
swoon-worthy. In short, Bryan has life all figured out, but appearances can be
deceiving. When the landscape of Bryan’s family changes in an instant, he’s
left to pick up the pieces.
Not all bruises leave
a mark. Now, weary and afraid, Melanie and Bryan must find a way to let love
heal their broken and jaded hearts.
**Let Love Heal can be read
as part of the series or as a standalone and is suggested for readers who are
18 or older for mature content.**
What would bring you happiness in a world that was
suddenly empty?
For Lucy Crane, the answer is simple: her daughter. When
her husband is killed in a tragic accident, Lucy loses her desire to live, but
only one thing keeps her going – her unborn daughter. Focusing on being a
mother helps Lucy cope with her loss, but kids grow up and they leave home,
eventually. Eighteen years after losing her first and only love, Lucy is faced
with the opportunity to find the happiness for which she’s always longed. Her
own fears become her worst enemies as she learns how to embrace love once
again.
Evan Donovan is also facing his own struggles. Forced to
retire from the FDNY because of lung damage caused by 9/11, Evan moves to
upstate New York where he hopes to find a little peace and quiet. Old habits
die hard, and Evan’s hero complex and survivor’s guilt constantly remind him of
how difficult it is to be vulnerable. But for the first time in his life, he’s
tired of being alone.
Drawing strength from one another, Lucy and Evan
discover how beautiful it is to let love be a part of their lives.

& College Romance; this is a contemporary romance featuring characters who

Who would you become if you lost the only person who
ever mattered?
For twenty-six year old Dylan Hopkins, the answer is
easy. He’s become no one. Memories of the happier times are all he has left as
he finds himself meandering numbly through his now dull life. Though he cares
about his work and family dearly, he’s yet to let himself find love again. Afraid
of letting go of what he once had, Dylan chooses to keep his heart buried,
where it belongs, having died a long time ago.
Conner Michelson is about to change everything Dylan
knows. He’s every bit the bad boy persona - tatted up, ex-MMA fighter, but after
an injury leaves him unable to fight, he has to rethink his goals. Having just
opened his own gym, Conner can cross his first major life accomplishment off
his very short list. Next up: find a man he can settle down with and build a
family. Seems simple enough - a dream most people have, but when he meets
Dylan, his carefree, easy-going life is thrown into a tailspin.
Determined to keep Dylan in his life, Conner vows to
resurrect Dylan's long ago buried heart and let love live once more.
Let Love Live is a full length, standalone (within a
series) novel of 101K words / approximately 400 pages.
Melissa Collins has always been a book worm. Studying
Literature in college ensured that her nose was always stuck in a book. She followed
her passion for reading to the most logical career choice: English teacher. Her
hope was to share her passion for reading and the escapism of books to her
students. Having spent more than a decade in front of a classroom, she can
easily say that it’s been a dream.
Her passion for writing didn’t start until more
recently. When she was home on maternity leave in early 2012, she read her
first romance novel and her head filled with the passion, angst and laughter of
the characters who she read about it. It wasn’t long before characters of her
own took shape in her mind. Their lives took over Melissa’s brain and The Love
Series was born.
