Branching Out!

If you’ve followed my blog and my books, you know I’ve always enjoyed bringing Christian historical romances to life. Well, I’ve decided to modernize a bit, to branch out in a different direction with some Christian contemporary romance.

My first book releases May 12, but is ready to preorder now at the special price of 99¢.

Love in Second Bloom is the first of three stories from me for the Love at Christmas Inn multi-author novella series. All three will release in 2022.

Set in a small, fictional town in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee, the books in the series revolve around or include the Christmas Inn, a place where Christmas never ends. My kind of place. 🙂

While the inn celebrates with ornaments and elves and twinkling lights, as you can see from the covers below, my first two books take place in spring and fall.


About Love in Second Bloom:

She’s searching for direction. He’s trying to change his. Are they beyond renewing the dream of a future they once believed in?

At a crossroads in her career, Erin Ward works as a groundskeeper in a small town filled with precious, romantic memories. With Shaun Hadley’s surprise arrival, Erin dreams of a second chance at romance with the guy she broke up with in college. But Shaun isn’t the same man she once loved, and she blames herself.

As an easygoing college computer geek, Shaun let Erin’s rejection light a determined fire under him. Today, he’s a successful businessman seeking to relax. Letting go of his workaholic ways is harder than he’d imagined, even when it threatens both his health and a renewed relationship with the love of his life.

What hope do they have when Shaun can’t slow down, and Erin refuses to stand up for herself and their future…again?

If you’d like to get started reading the previous romances in the Love at Christmas Inn series, you’ll find them all on Amazon.

But reserve your copy of Love in Second Bloom while you can get it at 67% off.
