Multicultural Small Town Romance 

Kate Newman swore she'd never go back to Texas. 

Growing up in tiny Oak Stand gave Kate all the small-town narrow-mindedness she could ever want. Her bold personality is better suited to a city that never sleeps. So coming back to take care of unfinished business with a father who never wanted her is like squeezing into last decade's jeans. A bad idea all around. Her only diversion is Rick Mendez. Enigmatic and irresistible, the rehab director has a heart as wild as her own. 

Sparks fly between them as Kate reckons with her past. But Rick has planted deep roots in the same soil Kate can't wait to shake off. Their temporary relationship is bound to end in heartache. 

Unless Kate can learn to forgive and forget all she thought was true about herself.

Christian Romantic Suspense 

No way to escape… 

After the death of her fiancé, Olivia Leighton takes solace in her work as a wedding planner—until she receives threatening messages.

With each bridal gown fitting and cake tasting, the peril mounts as Olivia's stalker grows bolder. Cole will do anything to protect her, but their forced proximity creates its own complication as he and Olivia grow closer. Can he capture her stalker before it’s too late? Or will the next event Cole plans be Olivia’s funeral?
