Coming In 2008...

A Place to Rest (July 2008)

Sawyer Drake has never known what she wants—except it isn't working in the family restaurant, which is what everyone expects.  In order to outrun her destiny, or at least delay the inevitable, she bounces from job to job—and woman to woman.  Nothing keeps her attention for very long.   Nothing, that is, until she meets shy pastry chef, Jori Diamantina.  But Jori has no intention of risking the job she loves and a life she's comfortable with for a passing fling with Sawyer, no matter how strong the attraction.  Sawyer has no idea what she want from Jori, or from life, but she's about to find out—because Jori makes her want to stop running.  

A Place to Rest is a touching romance about the beauty of finally discovering where you belong.

 

Designed for Love (November 2008)

Jillian Sealy and Wil Johnson don’t much like each other but they do have to work together, at least long enough to rehab an historic house.

Jillian Sealy is not running away from her life, she’s seizing a business opportunity. That’s what she tells herself when she moves to a rural Tennessee town to flip a nearly century-old house. But the project gets a bit more interesting when she meets her devastatingly attractive contractor, Wil Johnson. When Jillian seems to think she has Wil all figured out from nearly their first meeting, Wil wants nothing to do with her. Wil has spent most of her life being underestimated by her neighbors because of where she came from, and she’s not about to get involved with a big-city snob who does the same.

Forced to cooperate for the sake of the project, Jillian and Wil find that what they desire most is not what either of them had planned.

Sequestered Hearts

A popular artist suddenly goes into seclusion; a reluctant reporter wants to know why; and a heart locked away yearns to be set free.

When painter Cori Saxton's life suddenly finds her future uncertain, she seeks refuge at her country home in Upstate New York where she successfully manages to shut out most of the world—until journalist Bennett McClain is assigned to get the story.  Soon Cori has to remind herself that the charming reporter is simply there to do a job.

When Bennett accepted the assignment, she didn't expect to find Cori so attractive, on so many levels.  Cori's intensity and energy are more appealing than down-to-earth Bennett cares to admit.  But when Bennett discovers the truth behind Cori's seclusion, she is torn between a desire to soothe away Cori's pain and the instinct to flee that is born of her own painful past. 

Fully Involved

A love that has smoldered for years ignites when two women and one little boy come together in the aftermath of tragedy.

An early morning hotel fire turns out to be anything but routine, and firefighter Reid Webb’s best friend and partner, Jimmy Grant, dies. Guilt-ridden and grieving, Reid feels responsible for her partner’s young son, Chase. She would do anything for him, even if that means spending far too much time in the company of the woman she’s harbored feelings for since high school. Isabel Grant doesn’t know anything about raising children. But when she returns to her hometown to assume custody of her orphaned nephew, she gets a crash course. Isabel’s struggle to keep her footing in the midst of chaos is further complicated by her growing attraction to Reid, a woman whom Isabel blames for her brother’s death.
