A Father's Promise
The fourth book in the Hidden Veil Hometown series is ready to preorder for release in March!
Nothing has changed for him, but everything has changed between them.
Years ago, Paige Matthews left Hidden Veil to escape her love for Sutton Vance and their opposing visions for the future. Now, struggling to relate to her adopted children, she returns to her hometown with the keys to the house she and Sutton always imagined would be theirs. But nothing in life has turned out as Paige expected. Not her marriage. Not motherhood. And not the house she hoped would provide the new start she and her children desperately need.
Sutton stopped believing in promises even before Paige disappeared without a word, trampling his heart in the dirt of his cornfield. Now she’s back and expects him to renovate the house he’d planned to buy for himself as a refuge from his dysfunctional family. With a bill looming over his head that could see the loss of his farm, Sutton sees no choice but to accept the job. But this time, he won’t allow Paige to gain entrance to his heart.
When the walls of the house echo with old feelings, will they finally face their individual fears, or will Sutton turn his back on fatherhood again, sending Paige running once more?
Get to know the couples who navigate the joys and pitfalls of life and love in their quaint and tight-knit southern hometown of Hidden Veil, North Carolina.

A Lady Divided
Book 1, House of Fire Series
Just when she thinks she’s defeated the past, it returns with a vengeance.
Fighting to keep her late husband’s dream alive and her land-grabbing neighbors at bay, Laurel Tillman longs for a peace she knew before the war. But when her skill with a rifle saves a stranger from a mountain lion attack—a man whose life she once wouldn’t have hesitated to take—wartime memories rush back.
While raising her daughter and taking responsibility for the stray women who work on her sheep ranch, Laurel can’t wait to get the injured Yankee out of her house. Getting him out of her heart is an entirely different matter.
Quinn Spencer, a former Union cavalry officer, owes Laurel a debt, but his career as a new lawyer in town comes with a warning to stay away from the unconventional women of La Casa del Fuego. Then, with the discovery of a dead man on Laurel’s ranch, Quinn must choose between his career and justice for a woman who can’t bear the sight of him.
As they battle an unknown adversary who sets out to destroy Laurel, will she join forces with her former enemy? Or will she allow the past to overcome any chance of a truce between them . . . and, possibly, something more?
Meet the women of La Casa del Fuego—House of Fire—as they are forced by circumstances to live their lives outside the bounds of accepted femininity.

Like a hiker choosing a path to travel, Christian fiction authors take various paths (or genres) to bring readers the stories they love. I've chosen to walk two paths, contemporary and historical, both in the Christian romance genre. I love going back in time to bring you sweet love stories set in the 1800s, but I've also added contemporary romances to my published books.
Won't you join me on that path?
