Evergreen Cove

Beaumont Bay
A Tennessee town with country music at the hub.
The series I wrote with USA Today bestselling author Jules Bennett.
How the series are interconnected
Love in the Balance → Second Chance
Evan’s story was untold, and so it became a “bridge” book, Bringing Home the Bad Boy in its own series.
Second Chance → Evergreen Cove
Brady and Ant were introduced in Second Chance before Evergreen Cove was ever a series.
Billionaire Bad Boys → Crane Brothers
Crane Brothers follows a new set of heroes: cousins of the OG Cranes.
The originals (Reese, Tag, Eli and their ladies) turn up as cameos in the spinoff series.
Billionaire Bad Boys → Dallas Billionaires Club
Zach and Penelope hailed from Billionaire Bad Boys, and finally met each other in The Bastard Billionaire before Lone Star Lovers gave them their shot at HEA.
