Brynne My family is out of control. They want to tell me where to go, what to wear, and worst of all, who to marry. But I can’t go through with a sham of a wedding just to get an inheritance that I don’t even want. My only solution is to leave, get some time to myself, and try to sort through things. Find myself since I’ve been lost to the desires of the demands of my family. Once I arrive in Denver, near penniless and homeless, I land myself in the hospital and meet a sexy doctor with eyes the color of seaglass and a panty-melting smile. He thinks I’m running from a bad situation or an abusive marriage. I don’t correct him. But then, he makes me an offer that has me twisted up and even more confused about the direction of my life. Declan Something about the Jane Doe in the ER has my mind distracted, and I can’t be distracted as the hospital administrator. I don’t know what it is about her that won’t leave my mind, but her frightened blue eyes haunt me all the same. When I run into her again in the very last place I thought I ever would, I’m shocked but pleased. She’s still hiding secrets from me, and in order to get her to open up, I make her an offer. However, I fear she’ll run again, and that’s the last thing I want. But when she does disappear on me, I’m left floundering, wondering what I’d done and if I’ll ever see her again. Mile High Heir is book 3 in the Mile High series and is for readers 18+.

The social climber from hell, Cassandra has a huge mansion, a philandering rock star husband, Satan for a son, and a bestselling writing career that has massively stalled.

"A cool cast of secondary characters adds much to the story as clever Plumley, who is already known for her entertaining romantic comedies, presents another winner in this humorous and engaging tale about a man who literally loses his shirt, but finds his heart."—Booklist (starred review) Lucy, the quirky owner of a charity shop that gives designer clothes to those less fortunate, meets her match in Max Nolan, the owner of a pampered pets boutique, when he tries to buy back his "lucky suit," which had been accidentally donated to her store. Original. Sushi for pooches. Belly dancing. Men in their underwear.It's all in a day's work for Lucy Logan... ...and so is getting unemployed folks spruced up with designer duds at the charity shop Successfully Dressed. Anyone who knows Lucy knows her heart is always in the right place. But the guy who shows up wearing nothing but tighty-whities and a frown doesn't know Lucy—or understand why she won't just let him buy back his "lucky suit." Instead, she insists he earn it back through volunteer work. Of course, Max Nolan's killer abs and effortless charm have nothing whatsoever to do with Lucy's good intentions... From minute one, Max can't keep his eyes off the skimpy-skirted, boho-punk vision that is Lucy Logan. She's a woman of ideals, while he's a man of action—but that doesn't mean they can't collaborate on...any number of things. Beyond getting his suit back, Max figures he can make some great contacts with the shop's rich benefactors, exactly what he needs to get his pampered pets boutique off the ground. And if he gets a little—okay, a lot—closer to Lucy in the process, well, that's a sacrifice he's only too willing to make... "Lisa Plumley creates charming characters.
