Born and raised in East Texas among ranchers, refined ladies, and good ol' boys was the perfect gift for me to learn about Texas life. I love writing mysteries with just a touch of romance. Most of my books are romantic suspense, but Sophie's books are considered cozy romantic suspense. "Love, Again" is my one romance with a touch of suspense.

My Books:

JUST RELEASED: THE DIAMOND TREE, Book 2 of The Winslows of Texas

During a Montana mountain snowstorm, reclusive and handsome mountain man, Eryk Sobec, finds Nora Winslow half-frozen on his land. At the same time, his nearest neighbor, his brother Alek, rescues a frightened little girl named Willa, who is desperately running from men intent on hurting her. When those same men attack both Sobec homesteads in their relentless pursuit of Willa, the brothers make a desperate choice: gather everyone under one roof and prepare for a siege.

Screams echo through the night. Gunfire shatters windows. Livestock become targets. In the strained yet quiet moments between attacks, Nora and Eryk discover something unexpected: a connection neither can ignore and the fragile promise of something more. But evil surrounds them. Survival demands everything they can give. Their strength is tested. Their faith is tested.

Trapped in a place where hope collides with danger, will love and faith find a way through the storm?
