A sweet, heartwarming romance. When Dr Adam Grainger takes a new job in Clearlake County’s hospital, he opts to live in the countryside and commute. The small, rural town of Blue Creek is the perfect place to bring up his daughter, Charlotte. But weeks into this new, ‘easy’ lifestyle, he’s beginning to wonder if he’s just made a big mistake because the commuting takes longer and he’s seeing less of Charlotte. Has he made a mistake, dragging Charlotte away from the life she knew? His new neighbor, Leah, is at her own cross roads. Her teenage sons have left home, and she’s a textbook case of Empty Nest Syndrome. Her job writing text books on marketing less than exciting and her casual boyfriend of two years has asked her to marry him. But her new neighbors are about to set Leah on a path she never anticipated taking. And in doing so, will stretch her emotions to the core. Heaven Next Door is the first in the Clearlake County series, a sweet, easy-reading romance that will touch your soul.

Farrell Bridgewater has thrown everything into her financial career to get her where where she is today, and the last thing she needs are distractions - especially distractions like lawyer Nick Blake. So when she and Nick are charged with managing her late father's estate, Farrell has good reason to stay clear of Nick. Especially since they once shared a night that changed her life, a night she's tried to forget - a night he clearly can't remember. The late Professor Dean Bridgewater was like a father to Nick: an irony since the professor had nothing to do with his only child, Farrell. Being named co-heir to the estate and the associated Trust is a shock to Nick, but even more are the feelings that blindside him when he meets Farrell. He's determined to find out what makes her tick - and even more, why she's hell bent on avoiding him when attraction burns so fiercely between them. And even though she denies they ever met, there's something that tells her she's lying, and he wants to know why.But Farrell is facing her own demons, and neither of them looks like backing down any time soon.
