Cinnamon Roll Hero (sin-a-mon roll he-ro): ( n ) a hero who is too sweet for this world...but will fight to the death for the people they care about Nick: My job has always had its challenges. When you come into a failing business and tell the owner all the changes they should make, tensions always run high. But Faith may take the cake on the most difficult-which is fitting since I'm helping her struggling bakery. She's hard-headed, stubborn, and a sharp pain in my side. Despite how obnoxious she may be, she somehow has taken up permanent residence in my mind. I find myself doing things I normally wouldn't just to try get on her good side. I wonder what it would be like to kiss her hard enough to make her drop the attitude-or if that's even possible. Faith: Nick Winters is infuriating. I don't care how good looking he is; I won't have a stranger come in and try to change the bakery where my grandma built her legacy. Between running a business and taking care of my five-year-old daughter, I don't have time for all of this. But since my investors deemed it necessary for this man's help, I guess I have to play ball. Unfortunately, I really, really hate sports.

When the spark finally lights, will it be a full blown explosion, or will it just fizzle out?

Annie - My entire life has been spent taking care of other people-an absent husband, our four kids, and a gaggle of grandkids. I love my life, but I've always been so worried about everyone else that I'd forgotten what it feels like to actually be happy. When an unexpected snowstorm hits and leaves me stranded in a cabin with my high school boyfriend, I finally start to remember. All these years later, Abe is still strong and sweet...and did I mention sexy? The real question is how do I mix my newfound happiness with my already-established life? Abe - Annie Mitchell...the girl who got away. We were crazy about each other back in the day, and then, we went our separate ways to have our own happily ever afters. Unfortunately, neither one of us got a fairytale ending, but after getting stuck in a cabin together, I think maybe this is our second chance. One more chance is all I need because I'll do whatever I can to not let her go again **All the Right Moments is a later-in-life, second-chance, small-town novella. It is the fifth in the series. Each book can be read as a standalone, but they are better when read in order.

Luke: After my parents died when I was eighteen, I found that running from my problems was easier than dealing with my feelings- even if it was as drastic as moving across the country. After a while, I realize that the loneliness doesn't cut it for me anymore, and I end up back in small-town, Tennessee, trying to find my roots. Instead, I find a cute, feisty caterer that I can't stop thinking about after she covers me in cupcakes. Literally. No matter how hard I try, I can't stop thinking about Nicole and that scares me because suddenly I realize that I'd do absolutely anything in the world to keep her in mine. Nicole: I've never been one to do what is expected of me. Like conforming to my mother's beliefs that I should act a certain way, settle down, get married, and start having babies. It's not that I'm against the idea- it's just not for me. Or at least I didn't think it was until a hot, new stranger comes to town and practically sweeps me off of my feet. Suddenly, settling down doesn't sound so bad. Just when I think this could be my happily ever after, one knock on the door changes absolutely everything. ***All the Right Ideas is a steamy small-town romance. It is book six in the series but can be read as a complete standalone***

Erin: Nope. No. Absolutely not. That's what I keep telling myself because there's no way that the hot, tattooed Tanner who is eight years my junior is into me. I'm a mom of three. I have more baggage than an airport and enough junk in my trunk to match. Yet this guy shows up to tell me how amazing he thinks I am. That's crazy, right? I should walk away. But that's easier said than done. Did I mention he has a pierced tongue?Tanner: From the moment I saw her singing karaoke, I knew I had to get to know Erin. But I never figured she'd agree to a no-strings-attached weekend together. The problem is that I don't want it to be no-strings-attached because the more I get to know her, the more I like her. It doesn't bother me that she has kids or a crazy ex-husband. All I care about is showing her how wonderful she is. After her awful marriage, she deserves that. And if she can bring down her walls enough to let me in, I vow to show her that every single day.**All of the Samson Boys books can be read as standalones**

Jenna-A month ago, I had it all. I was living the dream, playing college volleyball on my way to the pros. But when I got injured, all of my future plans faded into dust. So, instead of living the dream, I now live in my brother's guest house, back in my hometown. To top it all off, Shane, the sexy guy I went to high school with, sees me naked. But in the dark clouds that seem to follow me around lately, Shane quickly becomes their silver lining. Shane- I'm a simple man. I like my small town and my blue-collar job. I've never yearned for more. But when Jenna Mitchell, my high school crush, starts living on the ranch I'm working on, it doesn't take me long to realize that I want it all...with her. But with Jenna's larger-than-life personality and dreams, I only hope I can be enough for her. **Each Grady Romance is a super steamy romance that can be read as a stand-alone, although all are better when read in order**

Had enough of relationships which are deficient in empathy? Had enough of people who are emotionally unavailable? In this book, you'll learn why you're attracting them into your life and what to do about it. We'll talk about what codependents, empaths, and narcissists all have in common: Childhood Emotional Neglect (CEN). We'll discover how to de-program from this faulty childhood programming to recognize and avoid toxic thinking that leads to toxic relationships. This book is not only helpful for preventing destructive relationships, but also for coping with them if in a co-parenting or co-worker dynamic that is unavoidable. With strategies on how to deal with a narcissist (or someone who is empathy-deficient), you will also learn how to practice more self-love through practical, real world advice on setting and maintaining healthy boundaries - including knowing when and how to go 'no contact'. Isn't it time you have the happy and healthy relationships you deserve with emotionally-available and empathy-sufficient people? Yes. It is. And, with this book, that ideal can become more of a reality.WHAT ACTUAL BUYERS SAID ABOUT THIS BOOK, PREVIOUSLY ON VIMEO VIDEO: I just want to commend you on the work that you've done, and say THANK YOU (from the bottom of my heart) for having the courage to do this series! STANDING OVATION for PART 2 [chapter 2] alone....WOW...JUST WOW!!! I just got through Part 2, and it was such a huge EYE OPENER for me! I can hardly wait to hear the rest of this series! It's been LIFE CHANGING so far, and I'm sure the rest will be as well! You truly are a BLESSING to others! I'm so GRATEFUL that I was lead to your channel during my own journey of healing!This video was so good and so right on, and I loved the way she introduced it to me. I cannot wait for the second one [chapter two] and the others because the residual pain can only be told by one who has experienced it. ...Great number 1[chapter 1]!Amen Steph! It has taken me decades to realize how I was trained from the time I learned to talk to be reactionary when narcs push my buttons. I read and heard from many sources that if the narc does agree to go into therapy that the therapy makes them worse. There is no cure for them because like you said, they like who they are and what they do works for them.What helped me to heal was learning that the sweet mean thing narcs do; they love you one minute and then hate you the next, produces excess dopamine in your brain that is exactly what happens to the brain when a junkie shoots up. We're addicted to the way the narc treats us (not the narc himself). We really are junkies and being treated this way is our drug of choice. This information helped me to be gentle with myself and to know that going completely no contact was essential. One conversation on the phone with the narc is like an alcoholic in recovery telling themself that just one drink won't hurt then they find themself waking up from a two year binge.I had been pondering why there was a pattern of what I had then termed 'energy vampires' entering and leaving my life. Yet more importantly, what actions could I take to either prevent or mitigate such damage? My life has changed dramatically in the last 6 months and has been gradually changing significantly over last 4 years. There have been a lot of revelations and clearing done... Your videos have provided authentic, useful and actionable insight into how I can improve my perspective to better deal with a flood of narcissistic activity in my environment along with how I can stop contributing to such situations.
