The Sweetwater Crossing Book You Asked For
"Secrets of Sweetwater Crossing is one of my favorite series, and I'm heartbroken that it's over."
"My only regret in reading this book is in knowing that this is the last of the series; I wish it could go on forever."
"I am hoping for a 'Return to Sweetwater' series in the future."
Those are just a few of the comments from reviewers. Many of you told me you hated to leave Sweetwater Crossing, because the town and its residents, especially the Vaughn sisters and their families, had become like friends to you. The truth is, I didn't want to leave that small town in the Texas Hill Country either. That's why I've written a fourth Sweetwater Crossing book.
As you can tell from the title and the tree on the cover, this is a Christmas story, although it can be enjoyed at any time of the year. It put me in the holiday spirit when I was doing the final edits, even though the thermometer said that it was close to a hundred outside. That's part of the appeal of Christmas stories.
If you enjoy stories of love surmounting seeemingly impossible obstacles, this book is for you.

The Third Secrets of Sweetwater Crossing Book
Welcome back to Sweetwater Crossing, a bustling town in the Texas Hill Country where secrets abound and maybe, just maybe, three couples can find happily-ever-after.
I'm particularly excited about this book, because it answers the biggest secret in the whole series: what really happened to Clive Finley? He's the man who built Finley House, the mansion that's pictured on the cover of After the Shadows. Everyone in Sweetwater Crossing believes he died in the War Between the States. His fiancee believes something quite different. What's the truth?
Into the Starlight, the last of the Secrets of Sweetwater Crossing trilogy, introduces Joanna, the middle Vaughn sister. She's been in Europe studying to be a concert pianist, but when tragedy strikes, she has to abandon her dream and come home again.
Meanwhile, talented physician Burke Finley, the nephew of the man who built Finley House, is dealing with his own tragedy, so when Clive's former fiancee asks him to accompany her to Sweetwater Crossing to see Clive's grave, he jumps at the chance to leave his old life behind ... at least for a few weeks.
It should be a simple trip, but once he arrives, Burke discovers that nothing he or Joanna believed about Clive's final days is true. It's up to Joanna and Burke to uncover the truth, even though it may put everything they hold most dear in jeopardy.
