Uncommon Ground

2016

CHRISTIAN ROMANTIC SUSPENSE. THE PLEASANT HEARTS Series unwraps the journeys of four orphaned Christian sisters, all in their thirties, and told they'll never marry. To them, marriage did appear too distant as each struggled to build a career while single, and communication between the sisters was less than stellar. But when God stepped in, He showed that He could turn their struggles into triumphs-if they let Him. UNCOMMON GROUND, begins this series, focused on Stella, the eldest of the Hearts sisters. UNCOMMON GROUND Widowed and now single, Stella Heart juggled between managing her career and struggling to communicate with her teenage daughter, Sharon. Their common ground crumbled beneath their different beliefs about God. While Stella believed in God, her daughter didn't. Sharon instead held strongly to what they taught her in school—until the day the ground physically gave way—altering both their perspectives about each other, and more than one person's resistance to God. Stella's concerns multiplied in the ensuing chaos after she met Michael, a Christian man with a mysterious past whom danger seemed to follow- and she wondered how many more unseen twists God trusted her to handle. Can she trust Michael beyond what he appears to be hiding from her, or will her own fears cloud her judgement when extreme danger surfaces?

Unbound Hope

2016

Experienced flight attendant Erica Heart wanted nothing more to do with US Marshal Jim Denison. Her gratitude to him for his key role in rescuing her sister's fiancée, Michael, stopped at the gate of their final goodbye. But when she urgently required the services of a US Marshal aboard a flight to accompany her team of newly-recruited flight attendants, she hesitantly turned to Jim for help. Will her heart heed her plea to not get involved due to fear of having her heart broken? US Marshal Jim Denison knew in his gut that something was wrong when their flight left the tarmac. He turned to Erica Heart for support, the same woman responsible for his sleepless nights since they parted ways after her sister's wedding one year ago. Her Christian values, charming attitude and wit proved he had his work cut out for him—to rein in his wildly-hoping heart. But when things go wrong after take-off, her faith, and intellect proved vital in unveiling a cloaked enemy on the plane.

Unshaken Love

2018

She hated lies. Telling the truth could kill him. When danger and love collide, can a compromise happen? Successful Wedding Planner Summer Heart promised herself that her last fiancé would be the final time she chose to place her love in the hands of a man with lies and secrets. She fled from any man who approached her without candid answers. But when she found her life saved by a dark handsome stranger who wasn’t too keen to discuss himself, her curiosity is piqued and her sense of wariness heightened when his answers did not match his reality. Was she about to make the same mistake again, or was God trying to teach her that all that let out smoke, wasn’t fire? Professor Van Thompson had a chance run-in with a lovely wedding planner while working on a research project for his students. But everything turned upside down from there. He found himself trapped between the past he would rather forget and a future he wanted but couldn’t embrace. Whether he chooses to fight the past or brave the future, he has a bigger problem—the woman his heart has entangled itself with who was caught in the middle. When danger chases him down and bullets start looking for his head, will he choose to release her to protect her or will he trust God to lead the way into both love and safety for them? Danger trailed Van from the past, and Summer’s family is targeted while secret after secret unfolded, shattering the confidence she once had. Will danger and vengeance tear Van and Summer apart or will unshaken trust in God lead to a future they could only dream of?
