The Scent of Romance
2019
She’s content living the simple life on her family farm. He’s a high-flying lawyer determined to turn her farm into a resort community. Can these two opposites find common ground?
When Caroline Hearst’s grandmother is injured in a riding accident, her extended family uses it as an excuse to try to force the elderly woman into selling the ailing family farm. Though her family thinks it’s crazy to carry on the family farm’s legacy when a sale could make them all rich, Caroline is determined to keep the farm going.
High-powered lawyer Hayden Donnelly just wants to get the old lady to sign on the dotted line. Not because he thinks making her sell the farm is the right thing to do, but because it’s the only way to earn his disapproving father’s respect- and hopefully, love. If he fails to make the deal, his father will cut him off.
Can time in the lavender-scented fields bring a solution neither Caroline nor Hayden expected?
The Scent of Romance was formerly published in the Romance Grows in Arcadia Valley multi-author collection.

The Thought of Romance
2017
Andrew Bigby gave up a successful accounting career in the city to move back to his grandmother’s farm after his fiancée died of cancer. There, he’s found a life free of complications and emotional attachments—except those to his closest family. However, when he disagrees with home health nurse Layla Avila’s ideas on how to take care of his grandmother, Andrew can’t help but get involved. Even if it means temporarily giving up his precious hermit lifestyle to stay by his grandmother’s side to keep an eye on Layla.
Layla is sick of these doctor wannabes getting medical advice off the Internet. Why can’t Andrew just leave her alone and let her do the job she was trained to do? However, the more time she spends with him, the more she realizes that this isn’t so much about his grandmother’s care, but about the guilt he feels over his fiancée’s death—and the worry that he didn’t do enough to find the right doctors to save her. Though she was hired to help his grandmother, can Layla’s healing touch also extend to Andrew’s heart?

The Sound of Romance
2017
Allie Bigby knows she’s the family screw-up. But she’s got big plans for her life and hopes that when her lavender business finally takes off, she’ll achieve not only her dreams but gain some respect for herself. However, with the return of her high school nemesis, Cole Anderson, she’s finding it easier said than done. Especially because, just like in high school, Cole keeps ruining everything!
Cole Anderson has been in love with Allie since elementary school. Until now, he had no idea he made her life so miserable. He’ll do anything to make it up to her, except she’s made it clear she doesn’t want his help. Honorably discharged from the military after a career-ending injury, he’s home only long enough to figure out what to do with the rest of his life now that his dream job is lost to him.
However, when tragedy strikes Allie’s lavender operation, Cole just might be the person to save it. If he’s willing to do the one thing he always promised himself he’d never do. Allie just might have to bury the hatchet long enough to realize that there’s more to Cole than she once thought- and just maybe, fall in love.

The Taste of Romance
2018
Divorcee Madison McKay has no place else to go—literally. Her cheating ex drained their accounts, saddled her with a mountain of debt, then left the country. She did the only thing she could to support her kids, sold their big house in the city, and moved to her grandmother’s farm, where she could stay rent-free while she worked and tried to pay down the bills. Her children resent losing their city life, and while Madison isn’t happy about it either, there’s nothing she can do.
Millionaire recluse Wade Ellis has turned his back on his fortune, choosing to live a simple life, giving his money to charity and using none on himself. Madison is everything Wade cannot stand in a woman. Spoiled and pretentious, she’s used to the finer things and makes no secret of it. But when he sees how hard she’s trying—and failing—he feels like he has no choice but to help her. Especially because underneath her designer duds, she has a heart of gold. The trouble is, once Madison realizes that he won’t ever go back to the life he left behind, the one she desperately wants, even though he can, will she still take him as he is?

Danica Favorite
Author · 28 books
A self-professed crazy chicken lady, Danica Favorite loves the adventure of living a creative life. She loves to explore the depths of human nature and follow people on the journey to happily ever after. Though the journey is often bumpy, those bumps are what refine imperfect characters as they live the life God created them for. Oops, that just spoiled the ending of all of Danica’s stories. Then again, getting there is all the fun.
