About the Author
When not writing fiction, Dr. Seuss-like poetry or song lyrics, Barbara Meyers disguises herself behind a green apron and trades lattes for story ideas in her part-time job with a world-wide coffee company.
Under the pen name AJ Tillock, she ventures into off-the-wall screwball fantasy with The Forbidden Bean, the first in the GRINDING REALITY series.
She is still married to her first husband, has two fantastic children and one almost perfect dog. Originally from southwest Missouri, she currently resides in central Florida.

She’s home to make amends. He’s out to get a little revenge.
The heart he breaks could be his own.
The Jolie Kramer who left Oak Ridge at eighteen isn’t the same one who’s home for her ten-year high school reunion. The old Jolie hid her secrets and insecurities behind her popular-girl image.
The new Jolie has returned triumphant from NYC older, wiser, and ready to make amends for the bridges she burned. Especially the one between her and Court Harrison, her biggest supporter since childhood.
Court hates to admit he’s still hung up on Jolie, and he’s vowed to finally put the past way, way behind him. She wants to kiss and make up? He’ll give her a taste of her own medicine. Make her fall for him—only this time, he’ll be the one walking away.
But his plan works a little too well, and by the time he realizes her feelings are real, it’s too late and he’s lost the only woman he’ll ever want. His only hope lies in Plan B, which contains the one thing he hopes she can’t resist: a chance to show the world—and Court—just what she can do.
Warning: Rife with broken hearts and burning desires. A class geek turned super-stud, and an ex-prom queen whose tiara is a bit tarnished. Three-hankie breakup scenes and three-alarm make-up sex. You’re welcome!
He knows she’s out of his reach. Until she reaches out to him.
Braddock Brotherhood, Book 4
Right about the time Lesley Robinson’s father’s stroke left her in charge of his Fortune 500 company, she adopted her housekeeper’s sick baby and divorced her philandering husband.
She’s survived the past six years by building an impenetrable wall around her emotions. But when a hunk of a sheriff’s deputy turns up at her office to apply for a grant from the company’s foundation, her distrust of men and relationships takes a direct hit.
Niko Morales clawed his way out of gang life to build a new one grounded in law enforcement and a passion to help disadvantaged youth. So, Lesley needs a companion for an upcoming social occasion? He’s no gigolo, but for his community center, and maybe for her, he’ll wear the monkey suit.
Without any apparent effort at all, Niko sneaks under Lesley’s cool façade, shaking up everything she believed about herself. But when their relationship is threatened by the sins of others, they’ll both have to step up—and out of their comfort zones. Or they’ll lose the one thing they want most: each other.
Warning: Contains a sexy cop in a tuxedo who lets a powerful business woman entangle him in more than just her bedsheets.
