The Lacy Creek series is a series of small town romance novellas following the O’Brien siblings: Mikey, Luke, and Cece… and their meddling family. All three stories are steamy romances with variations of the friends to lovers trope. Ranging from low angst to medium angst, these heartfelt and steamy romances are quick, funny, and sweet reads with no third act breakups and three guaranteed happily ever afters. They can all be read as standalone stories, but if you’re planning to read all three, they’re best enjoyed in order.
*updated, expanded, & re-edited editions released in 2025*
paperbacks & complete series collection with bonus prologue & epilogue coming soon
Finally Yours
Mikey & Trish

Trish Davies is my greatest weakness.
My best friend. Spicy bookworm. The girl who has no idea I’ve been harboring feelings for her since we were teenagers.
Almost two decades later, and I’m still obsessed with her spunkiness, sense of humor, kind heart, and the cute quirks that make her so perfectly her.
I’ve resigned myself to loving her forever and dying alone—because risking our friendship isn’t something I’ve ever been willing to do. I’ll protect her, keep her safe, do anything for her—even if it’s only as her best friend.
But when Trish needs a place to stay, and I tell her she’s staying with me, everything changes. Suddenly, I’m questioning what I thought I knew.
Could Trish have feelings for me too? And if she does, how have I missed it all this time?
Is it worth crossing this line with my best friend?
I guess there’s only one way to find out…

All it takes is one night for us to cross every line. Now that I have her, I’ll do anything to keep her.
