THE BOOKS
Not Flowers, but Love
​
As a shrewd executive, Jamie Dubois is no stranger to hard work, and her soaring corporate career is her well-deserved reward. But while her professional life has flourished, her personal life has stalled as her wishful fantasies of being swept off her feet collided with the realities of bumpy landings. And after a series of such disappointments, she has given up—at least for now—on the whole idea of marriage and white picket fences.
By the time she meets an ambitious heartthrob named Ken, Jamie is well-practiced at keeping her heart to herself. While she enjoys seeing him now and then, she has no intention of getting carried away. It's a long-distance affair, and she's sure that the distance will douse any careless flames that flicker during their occasional visits.
But Jamie's perfect dating arrangement abruptly ends when Ken unexpectedly moves to her hometown—and accepts a plum job with her employer. Suddenly, she has no way to avoid him or her long-buried desire for something real that she can hold onto. And the more she fights it, the more she wants it. Before long, her once predictable life is turned upside-down—and everything she wants becomes everything she can't have.
Walls Fall Down
​
There's an old saying that men are made to be hunters. And women who make themselves too accessible are unlikely to sustain the hunter's interest.
Such seems to be the case for Cassie, who twice thought she had found the man of her dreams only to be taken for granted by them both. But once her heart is beyond their reach, they will do almost anything to regain her affections.
Will either man get what he wants?
What's Done in the Dark
​
Everyone has secrets, but some secrets can have murderous consequences in this mystery thrill ride.
For nearly a decade, Mona Baker has lived a life of secrets and deceit on her terms. But when her wealthy husband, Aaron, is arrested, she discovers that he also has secrets, secrets that could get her killed.
When the police pressure Mona to cooperate with their investigation, she flatly refuses—until they drop a bombshell that shakes her to the core, leaving Mona no choice but to help them despite her mounting fears that Aaron's powerful allies are more determined to see her dead than the cops are to keep her alive.
After barely escaping a series of attacks on her life, Mona is eventually forced to make a desperate decision that sends her down a violent path from which there is no return.
Where Do I Enter
When her father suddenly dies, Paige's entire world is shattered. Little does she know, the real shock is yet to come . . .
If money could buy happiness, Paige Cantrell would be set for life. Instead, she faces a world where the most important woman—her mother—was lost in childbirth, leaving a void that even her father’s considerable wealth can never fill.
An only child, Paige is raised with no knowledge about her mother or their shared bloodline. Despite her pleas, her father, Barry, has refused to discuss the past and forbidden her from probing it. When he suddenly dies of a heart attack, her grief triggers a vow to find her long-lost relatives and the reasons why they had been cut out of her life. During her search, she stumbles onto a complicated past that Barry had used his vast power to keep hidden. And she begins to question everything she thought she knew. As she uncovers heinous secrets that defy her father's saintly image, her quest to find the truth becomes a quest to find herself.
Where Do I Enter explores a young woman’s crusade into self-discovery as she is forced to rethink everything she thought was worthy and true. No longer shielded from the reality of human frailties, she must now be daring enough to find in them both reward and redemption.
Bad Blood​
Mystery and mirth collide when Fern Walker’s husband disappears, and the Sheriff suspects that she's guilty of murder.
Fern and Woody Walker have been married for seventeen years, the most recent of which have been hell on wheels. Claiming to be fed up with abusive customers, Woody quit his job and decided to live at Fern’s expense. Since then, they argue like cats and dogs. Some people have even heard her threaten his life. So when he disappears, Sheriff Pat Dupree assumes that she finally carried out her threat.
Despite her claims of innocence, Pat launches an investigation that could put Fern under the jailhouse. A vigilant man of the law, he sees his duty with clear eyes. But as he scours every corner for evidence of her wrongdoing, the town’s rumor mill kicks into high gear, churning out clues that turn into rabbit holes. Soon, he’s mired in a case that’s going nowhere fast—and has a surprising list of suspects that’s longer than his leg.
Set in a small Texas town, Bad Blood is a humorous whodunit that pits the wits of a seasoned sheriff against the will of a disgruntled wife. Faced with going to jail, Fern must dig deep for more courage than she’s ever shown as Pat tries to prove that she’s as guilty as sin.
