The more time she spends with him, the more she realizes she and Sabian have more in common than she thought. She’s a single mom, he’s a prostitute, and when it comes to dating, they’re both damaged goods. To most potential mates, Jocelyn and Sabian are in a category akin to dented soup cans, but if the two of them can look past each other’s respective dents, they just might find something they’ve both been missing.
But even if they do find that something, how on earth can she make a relationship work with a man who sleeps with other women for a living?

"I’m not sure which two books I’m going to have to kick out of my top ten list in order to fit these [Light Switch & Reconstructing Meredith] in, but they’re up near the top." - The Pagan & The Pen Book Reviews, "Reviewer Top Pick" rating“Scott, I need your help.”
"Two great main characters of Scott and Meredith with good side characters of Krissy and Matt. The story was brilliantly told from both sides and allowed us to really immerse ourselves in Scott and Meredith’s lives." - I Like Romantic Stuff
Five words from a woman he hasn’t seen in five years, and Scott Moore’s world is thrown off its axis. Ex-girlfriend Meredith has resurfaced with a past full of horrific abuse at the hands of a man who called himself a Dom, and she has the scars to prove it. Now she needs Scott’s help to reclaim her sexuality and put the past behind her.
Scott is more than willing to help, but he has no idea the toll it will take on him, not to mention his other polyamourous relationships. What’s more, while Scott and Meredith face down her demons, their own past won’t be forgotten. Neither will Scott’s feelings for Meredith…

""It’s a novel that will have you reading it again and again and again. These are characters that stay with you, and this is a story that resonates on the deepest levels of your soul." -The Pagan & The Pen Book Reviews, Top Reviewer Pick Rating
"I was completely entranced with Light Switch from the first chapter. There is nothing more exciting then starting a book that you hate to put down -- one that demands you finish it even if you have to give up a good night’s sleep to do it." - Whipped Cream Erotic Romance Reviews, 4.5 out of 5 Cherries
After far too much lackluster sex with her now-ex-boyfriend, Kristen Locke isn’t just ready to try something new, she’s ready to try everything. And as luck would have it, two of her good friends are more than willing to introduce her to the kinkier side of life: Experienced dominant Scott Moore wants to bring out the submissive in her. Neighbor and voyeur Matt Sommers quite literally sees the exhibitionist in her.
Little by little, they open up a whole new world to her, and Kristen’s about to learn that love can be found in the most unusual places…

"Like Gallagher’s previous novels, Between Brothers and The Next Move, Until It’s Over is the perfect novel for a cold winter day spent snuggled up on the couch or a hot summer day on the beach. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a little more substance from their love story." -Happily Ever After Reviews, 4.5 out of 5 TeacupsJust as dressage trainer Dani Blake decides the best kind of relationship is no relationship at all, along comes cunning linguist Connor Graham, and he's the perfect Mr. Right Now. He's newly single, not looking for any type of attachment, and smoking hot in bed.
"Gallagher captivated me from the first word and kept me through the last. I didn’t want the story to end. I can’t wait to read her next book."-The Pagan & The Pen Book Reviews, "Reviewer Top Pick" Rating
Best of all, he’s moving out of state in a few months, so there’s no pressure for – and no chance of – a long-term relationship. Even if Dani hadn’t already made the mistake of moving to another state for a man in the all too recent past, a mistake she’s not keen on repeating, she’s stuck in Seattle because she can’t afford to move her beloved horses again.
So she and Connor will just take advantage of the time they have and enjoy it until it’s over. It’s just enough time to have some fun, and not nearly enough time to fall in love with him.
Right?

"Ms Gallagher delivers realistic, likeable people whose yearning for one another that they won't admit out loud creates a tension that carries through the entire novel." -The Pagan & The Pen, 3.5 out of 5 Tarot CardsAfter a quiet evening of chess and wine turns into a sizzling hot night in the bedroom, Christian Bailey and Katrina Morgan think they’ve done irreparable damage to their longstanding friendship. When they sit down to talk things over, though, it isn’t long before they’re in bed again. The sexual chemistry is undeniable, but neither wants to risk their friendship with a relationship, so they agree to a casual arrangement as friends with benefits. The rules are simple: No lying, no strings, and nothing more than friends with benefits.
What they don’t realize is that at least one of those rules may be harder to follow than they thought, and Chris and Kat may very well be putting their friendship in checkmate.

Noble Romance, May 2010
What happens in Tofino, stays in Tofino.
Scandal-plagued actress Simone Farrell thinks she’s found the perfect fling: He’s hot, he’s a thousand miles away from her fishbowl existence in Hollywood, and the best part? He doesn’t know who she is. Jason is the perfect escape from the losing end of a custody dispute, a career that’s on life support, and an alcohol-blurred string of affairs.
What Simone doesn’t realize is that the only thing staying in Tofino is her heart. What’s more, when Jason falls in love with her, he’s giving her something that’s been painfully taken for granted in the past: His trust. When Simone's lies unravel and her two lives converge, there may not be any second chances…in Hollywood or Tofino.
