Book excerpt: I'm her teacher and I have rules about sleeping with my students. I don't go there. Never. But I wasn't prepared to be challenged like this. There's only so much a man can take... Dr. Walker Rhodes, DVM: Rule #1: I don't do relationships. Rule #2: I don't sleep with the vet students in my class. When Emmaline Phillips waltzes into my class, that rule lands on shaky ground. But I know myself. I'll break and make her mine. Soon. Smart and beautiful with long blonde hair I'll wrap around my hands, and caramel eyes that stare back at me, Emmaline licks those cherry red lips when she thinks I'm not looking. But I'm watching her every move while I wait to make her mine. Graduation day. As soon as we're no longer teacher and student, I'll get her in my bed and keep her there until she leaves this small Texas town to chase her dreams in the Kentucky Bluegrass. She's got plans that don't include me. Perfect. I'm not looking for long term. Just enough time with her to satisfy my needs and to get her out of my head. But when a twist of fate makes this filly my summer intern before I can wrangle her properly, she's once again off-limits. A summer of watching her lick her plump red lips? There's no way I'm going to last. I may be a horse vet, but I'm a cowboy through and through. I need to break Rule #2 and take this filly for a ride she won't forget. As long as I don't break Rule #1, I'll be fine. But can all this no-strings sex lead to something we're not expecting? Her staying in our small town and me...falling in love? The Cowboy's Forbidden Crush is part of the Wild Texas Heart Cowboy Series but can be read as a standalone. No cheating. No cliffhanger. HEA Guaranteed.

And Dakota Mason, the beautiful cowgirl he hired, has every reason to hate him… Ranching is in Dakota’s blood. And now the developers have cut off water her neighboring ranch desperately needs.

Then asked for sex. But I said no... Jamie: I chased fame my entire life and it's been a brutal journey from rising star to damaged goods seven years later. I've cleaned up my act since getting custody of my daughter, but balancing being a single dad and music god hasn't been easy. I've lost another contract and have only one more chance in Music City.

As the Nashville Hitmaker for a small record label, I'm facing my biggest songwriting challenge yet: a hit for Jamie Miller, country music's bad boy. Blue Rock Records may have overlooked his tattered reputation to boost profits. But all I see is the man who refused to sleep with me seven years ago. I'm determined not to fall under Jamie's spell again. I'm vying to be Blue Rock's next CEO, that means keeping my relationship with Jamie professional. When he uses his most irresistible quality to make me melt: his daughter, my resolve crashes harder than his last album. With a month until Jamie goes on tour, I give into some forbidden sexy time with a man I've wanted for seven years. But falling for Jamie's daughter wasn't part of the plan. And the pain of losing them both is the hit no one saw coming. The Cowboy's Last Song is part of the Wild Texas Heart Cowboy Series but can be read as a standalone. No cheating. No cliffhanger.

Book excerpt: *****INCLUDES: TWO SHORT STORIES, A MCCREE'S STAR SPANGLED 4TH AND A MCCREE CHRISTMAS***** Briar Thompson had it all. The right clothes, the right friends, the right car. Being popular was all that mattered. Her parents were rich and treated like royalty throughout the community. She thought her senior year of high school was going perfectly, until the night her drink was spiked at a party by one of her so called friends. That was the night she met Chase McCree. Chase wanted to go back to Montana. To the ranch and the wild, wide blue sky that went on forever. He wanted nothing to do with flashy cars or spoiled rich kids. But he found himself head over boots for the quirky cheerleader who turned her back on her social status. She befriended him when no one else would. Shunned and hurt by the people who were once her friends, Briar flees with Chase to his family ranch in Montana. There she discovers another world, and apart of herself she never knew. The cowboy wasn't like anyone she'd ever met. The cheerleader wasn't like anyone he'd ever met. Apart their lives didn't seem to make sense, but together, they were chasing forever.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ed watched as Sasha and Solu rode away from the Krehbiel farm on their horse they called Buck. He had to wonder, were they as happily married as he and Katrina were? Would he ever see Sasha again? Probably not if they were moving all the way to Montana to be teachers there. Then he felt a little guilty; although he loved Katrina with all his heart, he had to admit that he still had feelings for Sasha and wondered if she still had any feelings for him. In the next few months, Sasha and Solu found themselves very busy in the School of Higher Education studying to be teachers. Occasionally Sasha thought of Ed and wondered what he was doing but always quickly pushed those thoughts aside and went on with her busy activities at school. Ed too occasionally thought of Sasha and wondered what she was doing but, he had little time to dwell on those thoughts since a tragic and unfortunate event left him the single parent of a beautiful little girl he named Abigale or Abbi for short. Ed was a wonderful daddy for his daughter, but she needed and wanted more than anything a real mommy to tuck her in bed at night and tell her she loved her. How was Ed to raise a child by himself when he was so busy at times with his thriving new business of custom wheat binding? Then one day when Ed and Abbi were at the cemetery to wish Katrina a happy birthday, a young teenage boy came riding a horse to deliver a telegram for Ed. When Ed saw who the telegram was from, he was so excited he could hardly read what it said.

Book excerpt: “A brave and talented author who looks at the darkness as well as the light.” —Mary Jo Putney He’d find Kailey some day. One assignment at a time. One prayer at a time. A cult took Ross Malcolm’s ex-girlfriend and baby daughter six years ago. He’s never stopped looking for his little girl ... and now he has a sidearm, a badge, and a soul-deep commitment to protect the innocent. When the state's elite Organized Crime Task Force assigns him to Smoke River, Washington, to find out why the death rate among children belonging to an obscure religious group is so high, he’s sure it’s going to be one of the toughest cases of his career. But first, he has to find a way in … Julia McNeill is the daughter of an Elder and the almost-fiancée of a prospective Deacon in the plain church known as the Elect of God. Her future position is secure … except that she’s not sure she wants it. She’s never quite been able to fit in, to measure up in comparison with her dazzling sister, who married an Elder and produced two beautiful kids. It breaks Julia’s heart that her nephew Ryan is so close to death and no one can figure out why … but when she asks questions, the church leadership shuts her out. And then a biker with eyes that have seen too much walks into the bookstore where Julia works, and everything about her life begins to change … including the definition of forbidden ... and her belief in God’s ability to keep her and her nephew safe. “Suspenseful and intriguing, Grounds to Believe starts off running and never slows down.” —RT Book Reviews Grounds to Believe is the first novel in the faith-based Smoke River domestic suspense series. The books can be read as standalones, though the characters all know one another and appear in each other's stories. No strong language, just a dollop of suspense, a loving kiss, and a guaranteed happily ever after. If you like books by Sage Parker, Christy Barritt, or Charles Martin, you’re in the right place. Enjoy!

Book excerpt: “A gut-wrencher with poignant style and refreshing breaths of humor.” —RT Book Reviews Dinah Traynell is trapped in a life she didn’t choose and cannot leave. Since childhood, the Elect are told it’s God’s will that they serve the Shepherds, the itinerant ministers of the church. Since puberty, that service has become darker for Dinah Traynell. More physical. Unthinkable and deeply secret. Though she dreams of another life, she’s never known anything but the church, so while she submits, she still resents being forced to cast her pearls before swine. So when she answers the door one night to find a homeless man on the step, her first act of rebellion is to help him. Dr. Matthew Nicholas, disgraced university professor, had never heard of the Elect before he was robbed, left penniless, and wandered into Smoke River. He has never met a woman like Dinah, so vulnerable and yet so strong, with a capacity for love that has no outlet except in the care of her flock of chickens. As she slowly grapples with the flawed faith of the Elect, Matthew struggles with his fear of getting involved. He’s grateful for meals and a room, but he’s only the hired man. When Dinah’s teenage sister abandons her own baby, its innocence is the catalyst that forces Dinah and Matthew to trust one another … and two lost souls catch a glimpse of hope in a forbidden love. But is it enough to dispel the darkness? Or is it already too late for Dinah to break free without being trampled? Pocketful of Pearls is the second novel in the faith-based Smoke River domestic suspense series. The books can be read as standalones, though the characters all know one another and appear in each other's stories. No strong language, just a dollop of suspense, a loving kiss, and a guaranteed happily ever after. If you like books by Sage Parker, Christy Barritt, or Charles Martin, you’re in the right place.
