Line with heart

Chance Encounters is a series of novelettes that showcase how a random meeting, a strong connection, could turn into the passion unlike anything ever felt. And possibly…love.

Paint Me

Aubrey Robertson is stuck in a job she didn’t plan after caring for her ill father. She gave up her dreams, but doesn’t regret it. Though she does regret not picking up where she was forced to stop. With a craving for fancy grilled cheese, she takes a quick trip to the grocery, never expecting to meet the man of her dreams.


Ezra Harrison embodies everything she’s dreamed of—he even makes a living doing what she’d planned to do her whole life. But the passion between them is unlike anything she’s experienced.

Will this chance encounter turn into something real?

Rixa Barrett

I’ve published over thirty novels, both traditionally and in indie--under another name. I started writing these short, fun novelettes for myself then thought maybe readers might like them. So, Erin Adkins was born for my MM work. Rixa Barrett for my MF novelettes.

Love is love!


If you’re looking for something quick and sexy, these could be just the thing! When I’m not writing, I’m an avid reader and gamer and a major lover of music. Music fuels my work and there are always playlists. Some of the playlists are shared between stories. For a lot of my novelettes, I’ve listened to Two Feet, Puscifer, Bad Omens, Alt-J, Ex Habit, Glass Animals, and many more. Sensing a theme there? Yeah, these artists create some very sexy music.
