The Gift
2021
God opens doors, but it’s up to us to walk through them. Dakota Taylor is stuck in a rut. Her dead-end job as a manager of a pizza place is unchallenging, she gets dumped by her obnoxious boyfriend and feels completely unloved by her family. That all changes in an instant when God steps into her life. On the way home from a late shift, Dakota finds herself in a terrifying situation. Thankfully, two Boston police officers out on patrol come to her rescue and see her home safely. Dakota is certain that their paths will never cross again. She couldn’t be more wrong. Shane Donavan likes his job as a Boston police officer. He’s thrown for a loop when he’s assigned to train a rookie but soon begins to appreciate his new partner’s sharp intellect and wit, especially when Shane finds himself staring at the wrong end of the barrel. As a friendship develops between Dakota and Shane, Dakota accepts his invitation to participate in a weekend scavenger hunt. Shane quickly discovers that stakes are higher than merely lounging by the pool or fishing by the lake. Will God turn this opportunity into something that will change Dakota and Shane’s lives forever?

The Blessing
2022
Happy Ever Afters are possible… or are they? Dakota Taylor has found the perfect man to fulfill all her dreams; a godly man of strength, character, and integrity. To top it off, he’s asked her to spend the rest of her life with him. After a whirlwind engagement, they’re back in Boston planning their future, and reality is setting in. Coping with a new job, a new house, and a fiancé with a dangerous job as one of Boston’s Finest completely overwhelms Dakota’s need for order. Her anxieties threaten to derail her plans for a rosy future with a flawless man. Can Dakota surrender her fears and embrace life’s imperfections? Shane Donovan’s life is shaping up nicely, now that he proposed to the woman of his dreams. Postponing their wedding until after he has completed his training to become a K9 officer will test his resolve and their relationship. When he embarks on a trip to find his K9 partner, he runs headlong into a ghost from his past. Forced to revisit his greatest failure, he descends into a dark place of anger. If he can’t get himself under control, his happy future is at risk. Can Shane forgive and move forward? Or will he lose everything–the girl he loves, and the job he’s worked so hard for–in one fell swoop?

The Promise
2022
When tragedy derails your life, how do you respond? Dakota Taylor is still reeling from the events that occurred only two days before her wedding. Instead of lounging on a beach somewhere with her new husband, she practically lives in the hospital room of her fiancé, Shane, fearing he’ll never wake up from his deep coma. Her carefully crafted plans are shattered further when unwanted feelings creep in, making her question the depth of her love for Shane. How will their story end? After months in a coma, Shane Donovan awakens in a hospital bed, to find a young woman by his side. She claims to be his fiancée, but if that’s true, why can’t he remember her? More importantly, will he ever be able to go back to being the one thing he loves above all - a police officer? As Shane and Dakota grapple with the reality that their stories may not end the way they anticipated, other relationships threaten to derail their future together. Did God really mean for them to be together?
