The Second Secrets of Sweetwater Crossing Book
When a female doctor-in-training saves a handsome stranger's life, little does she know that he'll bring both love and danger into her life. That's the 30-second pitch for Against the Wind, the story of Louisa, the youngest Vaughn sister, who left Sweetwater Crossing in a fit of anger when Emily turned their home into a boardinghouse.
It's a year later, and much has changed ... including Louisa herself.
And then there's Josh, the injured man she finds on the side of the road. His carefully crafted plans are in serious jeopardy, thanks to a badly broken leg.
Neither he nor Louisa has any intention of staying in Sweetwater Crossing, but sometimes plans don't turn out quite the way we expect, do they?

The First Secrets of Sweetwater Crossing Book
Welcome 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 delighted to tell you that After the Shadows is now available and has received rave reviews, including a starred review from Library Journal, which called it "a must-buy."
So, what's it about?
Emily Leland no longer believes in happily-ever-after. Her marriage has left her fearful of men, and when she returns home, she discovers her father has died under mysterious circumstances. What else can go wrong?
Widowed schoolmaster Craig Ferguson knows it's time for a change. Though he doubts he'll ever remarry, both he and his two-year old son need a new life, and so he seizes the opportunity to teach in Sweetwater Crossing. Unfortunately, the town is not the idyllic spot Craig had anticipated.
Can Emily and Craig unravel the secrets behind her father's death and escape the shadows of their own pasts?
