Winds of Change
2021
The cowboy who broke her heart years ago and the career opportunity that offers them a second chance at happily-ever-after…
While they were growing up, Hope Remington was the darling of Heart Lake, and Josh Hawling was…well, bad news. And now she’s returning after ten years of being gone, with a PhD and plans to use her new position to transform their struggling high school into a center for educational excellence.
She soon realizes that her biggest challenge isn’t going to be the rival gangs embedded in the student body, although they’re a close second on the list. It’s Josh Hawling, who has somehow convinced their aging superintendent that he and his security firm partner can coach their backwoods collection of farm boys into a football team that’ll make the playoffs.
How is a woman of her refined background and education supposed to improve test scores and graduation rates when her students’ biggest idol is a man who spent more time in the principal’s office than in the classroom? Even though she feels safer having him on their crime-ridden campus, she’s so not looking forward to her daily encounters with his cocky self. Or being socked in the heart all over again by his devastating smile. Or having to finally face her unwanted attraction that might have kindled into a lot more if she’d never left Texas in the first place.
Welcome to Heart Lake! A small town teaming with old family rivalries, the rumble of horses’ hooves, and folks on both sides of the law and everywhere in between—faith-filled romance that you’ll never forget.

Perils of Starlight
2021
A policeman who exclusively works the night shift to hide his scars, a lovely detective determined to solve a cold case, and the trail of clues that just might lead to love…
Newly promoted Police Sergeant Luke Hawling is determined to rid his county of its growing drug problem, even if it means going head-to-head with the most feared motorcycle gang in the west. He has an old score to settle with them, anyway, for starting the house fire a few years earlier that nearly claimed his life. A chance meeting with a woman from the gang gives him an inside source, and he’s that much closer to making an arrest—a job that’ll go more smoothly if he ignores the spark of instant attraction between them.
Detective Willow Presley (no relation to Elvis…bummer!) has been sent undercover to Heart Lake to reopen an arson cold case. Her training has more than prepared her to deal with hardened criminals. However, her heart proves no match for the brooding, sarcastic police officer she’s seeking justice for.
Luke doesn’t believe any woman can ever love a beastly face like his, and she only has a few days to convince him otherwise before he discovers her true identity as the daughter of a hated Remington. Fortunately, she has plenty of faith, hope, and starlight on her side.
Welcome to Heart Lake! A small town teaming with old family rivalries, the rumble of horses’ hooves, and folks on both sides of the law and everywhere in between—faith-filled romance that you’ll never forget.

Thousands of Gifts
2021
A newly elected mayor bubbling with holiday spirit, a sarcastic cowboy determined to put a dent in her optimism, and the charity project that puts him at real risk of falling for the enemy…
Mayor Heavenly Remington decides that this is the year every child in Heart Lake will receive a Christmas gift, no matter how much budget finagling and additional fundraising it takes. Weary of town officials making promises they can’t keep, cowboy farmer Wes Hawling taunts his fellow citizens into flooding her children’s charity project with prank requests—each one more absurd than the last.
Instead of giving up like he expects, she doubles down on her efforts to hunt down every gift on the wish lists of her youngest constituents by Christmas Eve. When a threat to the town forces him to become her grudging accomplice for a few days, he is shocked to discover how close she is to meeting her goal. The fact that he finds himself secretly cheering her on might just be the biggest Christmas miracle of all!

Race of Champions

A cowboy deputy in trouble for breaking the rules…again,which is just the kind of partner-posing-as-her-boyfriend that a lovely P.I. from Dallas is seeking to help her crack an unusually challenging case!
Deputy Wheeler Remington feels he’s been wrongfully labeled as a lot of things—filthy rich, privileged, and cocky as all get out. Yeah, well, that last one might be true. However, he always closes his cases, even if his methods occasionally raise a few eyebrows.
Private Investigator Dyoni Whitaker knows she can’t take on a group of organized gamblers alone. She needs a courageous crime solving partner who’s not afraid to color outside the lines—like the renowned heartbreaker her brother specifically warned her to stay away from.
Will their clash of hearts and wills crack the case and lead to a more permanent partnership, or will a few fake dates spoil their chance at happily-ever-after?
