Bride By Choice
2012
Called Missy by the family that rescued her, she has no memory of her life before she awoke in the Murphy cabin in Chance, Texas, 1890. Clues to her past are few, but questions are many as she struggles to remember her past and trust God to reveal her true identity. A task made more difficult by her growing attraction to the man who rescued her. Jared Murphy is a man who lost his heart to the wrong woman and vowed it would never happen again. Until the moment he and his aunt rescued an injured young woman from a nearby creek bank. Half-drowned, she has no memory of her name or her past—or the reason why someone tried to kill her. In his quest to help her, can Jared set aside his wounded pride and learn to love again?

Working for her uncle in Chance, Texas, she will be able to support Charlie and give him the life he deserves. And saying goodbye to her home in the mountains means leaving behind painful memories of the past. Seth Murphy has his heart set on Violet Summers, the beautiful, spoiled daughter of the local banker. When a careless accident forces him to work for Frankie’s uncle, his first meeting with his employer’s stubborn niece barely catches his attention, much less his heart. But working with Frankie side by side everyday, a friendship begins to bloom. Or is it more than that? Can Frankie come to terms with her past and allow herself to be honest with the man she loves? Will Seth unlock his heart to God’s will for his life?

Bride in the Storm
2013
Left destitute and alone, Adeline Fleming must say goodbye to England and the only life she's ever known. Her father–of whom she has no memory–waits for her in Chance, Texas. The only thing Adeline is sure of, is the fact that her mother took her and fled from this man and his ranch over twenty-three years ago, never to return. Why would a loving God put her at the mercy of the man her mother left? Or does God even care? Her grandfather left her penniless and the man she must call father seemingly abandoned all contact with her. Maybe she is meant to break from all tradition and make her own way in America. Mark Murphy is a man who means to make a success of his furniture business. No time for courting giggling neighbor girls, he is dedicated to his craft. When he agrees to meet neighbor, Samson Fleming's, daughter and bring her home, his heart is not ready for the attraction he feels for the woman. Nor is he prepared for the pain of her eventual rejection. Despite her rebuff, he feels compelled to keep her safe from a rash decision, and convince her to seek the plan that God has for her life. Will she listen, or will he lose her forever?
