The Mint Creek Ranch Series

My Favorite Story (available for preorder; comes out 5/13/22): When reporter Tessa Kincaid sees a job listing for a mysterious three-month assignment with bonus pay, she applies immediately. It doesn’t matter what it is—she needs the money. The first night in her new town, she spends several sensual hours dancing with a sexy cowboy she believes she’ll never see again.

 

The next morning, she discovers that man is bull rider Cody Davis, whose comeback tour she’ll be covering for the next three months … and that he hates reporters.

 

The last thing Cody needs is a distraction—especially one who’s as great of a kisser as Tessa. Strict focus is the only way he’ll win the championship this year.

 

The two of them develop a tenuous professional relationship, their chemistry simmering just below the surface. When Cody finally begins to trust Tessa, though, she starts disappearing every night.

 

As the championship approaches, Cody must decide whether their relationship is an unwelcome distraction, or exactly what he needs to win the title, and Tessa realizes she’s in danger of losing everything—including the man she’s falling in love with.

My Favorite View (Coming Soon): For as long as she can remember, Montana Hart has planned on marrying Sawyer Nelson. But things are over between them—for good this time—and she’s finally ready to build her own, completely separate life.

 

Sawyer has never felt quite good enough for Montana, but starting his own cattle ranch might be just what he needs to prove—to himself—that he’s enough.

 

When Sawyer and Montana realize they’ve bought property in the same subdivision—the one their best friend Trace Walker is completely against—they’re forced together again … as future neighbors and as the keepers of a secret that could change their lives forever.

 

The more they do together, the more it seems they want the same things. But with everything that’s happened between them, are their lives meant to run parallel, or to intersect?

My Favorite Place (Coming Soon): Builder Abby Flores is determined to build her dream project, so she can provide her dad—her mentor and hero, paralyzed after a jobsite accident—with the life he deserves. She’s thrilled when she finally finds a pristine piece of land in Arizona.

 

Serious, stubborn rancher Trace Walker loves his home, the Mint Creek Ranch, and his hometown, Prescott. He’d be more than content if nothing changed—ever. When he realizes Abby, the drop-dead gorgeous woman to whom he gives directions one day, is the developer planning a subdivision on the parcel adjacent to the ranch, he vows to do everything in his power to stop her.

 

Only, as Abby becomes friends with his friends, Trace can’t help but admire her intelligence and tenacity. And how great she looks in those ridiculous faux snakeskin high heels. His tough exterior begins to soften, and Abby realizes he’s surprisingly sweet and thoughtful.

 

The two of them begin to fall for each other, but soon realize that not everyone in town is as happy about the pairing as they are.

 

Is it possible for Abby and Trace to live happily ever after? Or is parting ways the only way to save what they love most—each other?

The Seedling Homestead Series

The Composition of Order: Adopted as a young child, Sarah Ward has always preferred order to chaos. That’s why she’s worked so hard to create a life that checks all the boxes: get married, raise a happy, healthy child, and maintain friendships and hobbies. So Sarah is stunned when Donny, her childhood sweetheart and husband of 20 years, announces he wants a divorce. Although she resolves to fight for her marriage, salvaging it seems impossible: Donny’s list of grievances is long, and every item on it relates to her pursuit of order. While she’s still reeling from shock, Sarah finds out her mother is in the hospital. She and Donny return to her childhood home, the Seedling Homestead. There, in the place she’s always considered a refuge, Sarah immerses herself in family. But it isn’t as healing as she expected. As Sarah spends time with her sisters, Margaret and Hannah, and their mother, Mama Katherine, secrets begin to emerge. Now, Sarah craves structure more than ever. But releasing her grip on order may be the only way to win Donny back.

The Architecture of Vision: Margaret Bradley is the rising star of America’s architectural field. In keeping with the promise she made to herself when her first mother died, she’s fiercely self-reliant, traveling the world solo, enjoying her success and renowned for her vision. Then she finds out she’s going blind. The situation is unimaginable. Independence, the one thing for which she’s always striven, seems impossible. Worse, Margaret’s adoptive mother, Mama Katherine, is sick. Margaret returns to her childhood home, the Seedling Homestead, to help care for her, and to seek refuge as she grieves the loss of her sight. Margaret is determined to prove–to her family and to herself–that she can still be self-sufficient. While one part of her begins to accept this new life, another part of her–one born when she was just a little girl–fights against it. As those two sides struggle for control, Margaret must weigh losing her vision against gaining something much more significant.

The Structure of Perfection: Hannah Bradley knows she’s lucky: she’s always lived an always-magical existence on the Seedling Homestead. In fact, when her sisters started new lives–Sarah as a picture-perfect wife and Margaret as an independent, jet-setting architect–Hannah chose to remain home with her mother, Katherine, and become a teacher at the local elementary. And everything is perfect–until Hannah realizes their life is built on a foundation of secrets and deception. Now, as she unravels the tangled truth about her own past, she struggles to define her future. She finds a surprising refuge in one of her students, Sadie, whose life is anything but perfect. By nurturing this lost and lonely little girl, Hannah gains a new perspective on the sanctuary that is the Seedling Homestead.
