Copper
2020
Widowed and forgotten - or is she?
Now she was in a dilemma. Joan’s husband Harris had gotten into another fight, but this time, it’d be his last. Now he was buried in the field next to their run-down shack, leaving her destitute with their two little boys. Things couldn’t possibly get worse, or so she thought.
But Joan can’t even depend on the one thing Harris left behind: his silver mine, for his partner, Pete Tracy, claims she must marry to inherit her share. Downcast and defeated, Joan leaves her shack for Silver City, a mining boom town to the south, and knocks on the door of the only person who can help her.
Lonely Mac Walley, though saddened over the death of his brother, is elated to have a woman and children living in his home, which makes the decision to marry Joan a simple one. He’d always admired the strong, beautiful woman his brother had married and loved his nephews dearly. She quickly secures a place in his heart, and Mac is determined to win hers. But when a local gang of outlaws and a roving band of Indians take him away from home, can their precarious marriage of convenience blossom into something deeper?
Find out in this heartwarming sweet romance set in a time when the American West was still wild and unruly.
“Copper” is book three in the Heart of a Miner series and would be best enjoyed if read in order, but can be read as a standalone.

Amethyst
2020
Maybe she hadn’t failed at love. Maybe he just hadn’t been the right man…
Life had never been melancholier for Eliza Loring since the man she loved had up and married someone else. But when she meets a handsome stranger whose genuine compliments and soul-searing gazes seem to reach way deep inside her, she wonders if maybe there’s another man out there for her after all.
Miner Gill Mabry has seen and done many things in his nearly 40 years, much of which he’s not proud of. He’d put his days at war far behind him, though the memories seem determined to haunt him while he sleeps. It was love at first sight when he met Eliza, but when battle with the Bannock Indians seems imminent, he must decide if he can summon the strength to take up his rifle once more – this time for the woman he loves.
A sweet western historical romance that will transport you to another time and place where outlaws, Indians, and other unknown threats roamed the wild, rowdy west.
Amethyst is book four in the Heart of a Miner series and can be read as a standalone though would be best appreciated if read in order.

Rubies and Romance
2023
A prize of rubies to the fastest horse makes for a dangerous season for love...
School teacher Katherine might never understand the hankering for fortune so many men in Silver City seemed to possess, but when the horse races begin, greed is taken to a whole new level. Nothing is left off the table as men and beast alike are thrown into the race. When Katherine witnesses something she was never meant to see, she begins working with stubborn Deputy Chalice and his handsome new deputy-in-training to dissolve trouble at the races before it explodes. Keeping her heart intact, however, may be the most dangerous business of all - especially when both deputies take an interest in pursuing her.
Who will capture Katherine's heart? Will she stay out of trouble long enough to find out?
Rubies and Romance is the fifth installment in the Heart of a Miner series. It is best enjoyed when read in order but can be read as a standalone story. Travel back to a 19th-century Idaho boom town where lawlessness and adventure abound and, of course, a sweet happily-ever-after awaits.

Reading has always been a passion of mine. I always wanted to become an author but it was a "someday" sort of goal. In 2017, I decided to make my dream a reality and began my first book. While I enjoy nearly all fiction, historical novels particularly fascinate me. My family and I live in Southern Utah, USA. I grew up on horseback and treasured any time I could spend riding through the red sands and sagebrush. My husband Randon and I have four children - including a set of twins. Nothing makes me happier than being a wife and mother.... but reading is a very close second!
