“This is a really bad idea,” Uncle Trevor said, rubbing his temples with his fingertips as he glanced from Uncle Jason down to her and then back again as he shifted from rubbing his temples to pinching the bridge of his nose.

“This is a great idea,” Sebastian said… Read More

Part I

“I just cleaned that,” Zoe mumbled sadly as she stared down at the muddy footprints covering the floor that she’d just spent the past hour scrubbing.

“Damn it,” Trevor muttered as he glanced down at his dirty boots before taking in the muddy trail of footprints that he’d left behind. “I’m sorry, sweetheart.”

Chapter 1

Several Years Earlier…

“Don’t say anything,” came the harsh whisper that had Sebastian biting back a sigh as he opened his eyes and-

“What are you doing here?” Sebastian asked the girl who was apparently put on this earth to drive him crazy.

Eyes narrowing, Mikey said, “I told you not to say anything!”

“So, I’m just supposed… Read More

Mathewson comes a new standalone romantic comedy with down-to-earth characters that will have you laughing out loud and leave you with no choice but to fall in love.

Pyte Training

Part I

An R.L. Mathewson Chronicle

“I really can’t get over just how good this tea is,” Ashley murmured as she took a sip of her delicious imaginary tea while she shot the two large men watching her every move a nervous glance, regretting her decision to come down here.

In her defense, she’d thought the two men watching her with a predatory gleam in their eyes were still out on patrol… Read More

A Bradford’s Mother’s Day

Part I

“If you would just let me-”

“No,” came the immediate reply that left Haley with no choice but to pout as she sat there, staring wistfully at the patio doors that overlooked the backyard filled with Bradfords enjoying what appeared to be a very lovely barbecue.

Licking her lips nervously, Haley opened her mouth and-

“Stop trying to ruin Mother’s Day for me, woman!”

The Betrayal

Part V

“What happened?” the nurse asked as she rushed into the room.

Cayley waited for the screams for mercy to stop before she said, “I think my water just broke,” only to slowly exhale as pain shot down her spine and over her belly before adding, “and I’d like a new best friend.”

That earned her a murderous glare as Sean bit out, “You broke my hand, you evil little leprechaun!”

A Bradford Easter

“Sweetheart, I-” “No,” Charlie murmured around a sniffle as she pointedly looked away. “I’ll make this up to you after the baby’s born,” Devin said, leaning over to kiss his wife’s cheek only to have her turn over as much as her large belly would allow so that she could bury her face against the pillow with an incoherent mumble. Sighing heavily, Devin stood up and- “You don’t love me,” came the sadly mumbled words that had Devin dropping his hand away so that he could narrow his eyes on the woman that was driving him crazy. “Because I won’t let you out of… Read More

The Betrayal

“Do you still want to pout?” came the softly murmured question that had Cayley releasing a heartfelt sigh, mostly because she felt that it would help make this better. “I’m sorry it’s taking so long, sweetheart,” Bryce whispered softly in her ear as he pressed his lips against the back of her neck while he continued caressing her large belly. “I’m so hungie,” Cayley mumbled sadly as she shifted back against her husband as she stared out the window. “I know you are, sweetheart,” Bryce said as Cayley released another heartfelt sigh as she shifted her attention from the window to the… Read More

The Betrayal

“You took an oath to heal!” came the panicked scream as Cayley sat there, sighing with satisfaction as she helped herself to a lovely spoonful of ice chips that was tasting better with every passing second. “Wait…what are you going to do with that stethoscope?” Sean asked from behind the closed bathroom door as Bryce pulled a white paper bag that looked promising out of the overnight bag that he’d packed for her. “What’s in the bag?” Cayley asked around another spoonful of ice chips as she watched Bryce place the white paper bag on her tray. “Something for our baby boy,”… Read More
