Secrets of the Heart
2017
Javier Quintana knows his family’s struggling restaurant, El Corazon, needs help. But when his interfering siblings hire Molly Abbott, a successful food entrepreneur and his high-school sweetheart, he’s livid. The way their relationship ended wasn’t pretty. And although Molly never married, she’s the single mom of an eleven-year-old daughter conceived right about the time of the breakup. Molly’s ideas about farm-to-table, health-conscious Mexican food conflict with Javier’s strong sense of tradition, even as her joyous faith convicts him about his own lapse from the church of his youth. Can a reunion romance bring happiness to two lonely souls who never forgot each other… or will their relationship be derailed by the secrets they both carry in their hearts?
Secrets of the Heart is Book Four of the Arcadia Valley Romance series. These inspirational Christian romances all take place in the same Idaho town, with characters you'll come to love and a farm-fresh, sustainable foods focus. Look for a new book each month, including more books about the Quintana Family and El Corazon.

Wise at Heart
2017
When Daniel Quintana needs a summer nanny for his twins, it only makes sense to hire Tabitha Moore. Just back from an extended mission trip, she needs the job. The fact that she was his wife’s best friend shouldn’t matter, and neither should the fact that he finds her attractive. Daniel’s not in the market for relationships because he’s just so bad at them.
Tabitha Moore doesn’t want to work for Daniel, because she knows a terrible secret about his daughters. But when staying with her sister is no longer an option, she feels like she has no choice. After all, it’s just for the summer…
With the help of Daniel’s five-year-old twins, Daniel and Tabitha start to become more than friends. Growing vegetables, rescuing a mama cat and her kittens, eating delicious Mexican food at El Corazon… all of it makes these two lonely souls crave to create a family long term… unless Tabitha’s secret rips apart everything they’re starting to build.

Joy of My Heart
2018
When journalist Lucas Ruiz Morales returns to Arcadia Valley to help his ailing grandfather, he’s definitely not looking for love. After a disastrous marriage and a health scare, he plans to focus hard on a new book project about wellness and organic food.
After being harassed by her employer in Twin Falls, Veronica Quintana is back working as a hostess at El Corazon, living with her domineering older brother, and feeling desperate to regain her independence and self-esteem. The last thing she needs is to develop feelings for an older man who’s every bit as overprotective and macho as her three brothers.
But when Lucas needs an assistant for his book project, Veronica has no choice: it’s the only job in Arcadia Valley that can help her meet her goals. And Lucas turns out to be a kind and caring—if very bossy—boss. But there’s something about Lucas that Veronica doesn’t know… something that may cut out any possibility of a future together. Can the Arcadia Valley community help two determinedly-independent people realize they’re perfect for each other?
Joy of My Heart is Book Sixteen of the Arcadia Valley Romance series. These inspirational Christian romances all take place in the same Idaho town, with characters you'll come to love and a farm-fresh, sustainable foods focus. Look for a new book each month, and be sure to catch Lee's earlier books about the Quintana Family and El Corazon.
