The Book Readers Call My Best One Yet
The First in a New Series
Authors aren't supposed to have favorite books, but Echoes of Sunrise, the first of the Sisters of the Heart trilogy, has a special place in my heart, so I was delighted when readers told me they thought it was my best book yet.
What's it about? Here's a brief introduction to the series.
Welcome to Carr Valley, a small town nestled in one of the most beautiful parts of the Texas Hill Country. It's here that three women who forged a friendship so strong that they call each other their sisters of the heart have a chance to rebuild their lives and maybe, just maybe, find true love.
In Echoes of Sunrise, you'll meet Sophia Carr, a woman whose plans for the future are upended by a tragic fire that threatens her hometown, and Gideon Spencer, an up-and-coming architect who's abandoned his own dreams to protect his best friend's baby.
A baby to protect. A town to save.
Is a marriage of convenience the only answer?
It was so much fun creating a new fictional town, but - like many of you - I hated to leave my earlier towns, so I've given several of the characters from two previous series cameo roles in this one. Which ones? That would be a spoiler, and I hate spoilers. Let's just say you might be surprised.

Want a Shorter Read?
Love and Adventure Along the Oregon Trail
If you're like me, there are times when you're looking for a story you can finish in a few hours. For me, novellas meet that need. That's why I'm happy to be able to offer you one of my favorite novellas as an ebook short.
The Sagebrush Bride was originally published as part of Barbour Books' The Oregon Trail Romance Collection, which became an ECPA bestseller. Now that I have the rights back, I wanted those of you who missed it the first time to have a chance to learn a bit more about Fort Laramie, which you may recall is my favorite Wyoming historical site, as you read Avice and Raleigh's story.
Here's the teaser:
If there's one thing Avice Longcope doesn't need, it's the husband her uncle has chosen for her. Still mourning her parents' death of cholera along the Oregon Trail, she wants nothing more than to find peace. What she finds when the wagon train reaches Fort Laramie is a screaming baby and a father who's beside himself trying to care for his son while he runs the post store.
And so Avice and Raleigh strike a bargain, never expecting to get far more than they bargained for.
