    • Santa is coming and for the first time in years, the Roanoke, VA club plans to celebrate. When the past reveals itself, mysteries begin to unravel while new ones emerge.

      When Brick decided to bring his father, RiffRaff, back to the clubhouse to live, he had no idea the mysterious words spoken by Madame Laveaux would be unraveled thanks to his father living in the past.

      Now that the secret’s out, will Raeleigh be able to handle the fact her past wasn’t her reality? Finding out she’s a long-lost club princess has her doubting everything she was ever told. Add to that, she now finds herself under the protection of an older brother, one whose guilt has him overcompensating while she tries to find her way.

      Meanwhile, even though it’s the holiday season, the bad guys never rest, so the club is faced with enemies from the past. Enemies they thought were long dispatched to the pits of Hades. With the help of their new brothers, will everyone finally be able to enjoy the beauty of the season or will they be thrust into another situation where they’re flying blind?

      **Suitable for ages 18+ due to adult age, content, language, and situations**

    • This was a delightful read with discoveries that are

    •  changing lives and coming to light, rewarding and

    •  heartbreaking at the same time. Now that the club

    •  has become aware of this, they are seeking

    •  answers and revenge. We enjoyed seeing Ryleigh embrace the Christmas

    •  holiday with childlike wonder, experiencing the joy of

    •  the season for the first time. Her infectious

    •  happiness brought a smile to our faces. This holiday

    •  romance was the perfect feel-good read.

    • We were delighted throughout the story, witnessing

    •  Ryleigh's personal growth and her journey to finding

    •  her passions and happiness. Brick's patience and

    •  support in allowing her to navigate her feelings and

    •  desires added depth to their relationship. This was a

    •  great read with surprises that kept us engaged.



I'm a lifelong reader who had a dream to write her own books. A transplanted Yankee, I recently moved cross country from Georgia to Texas. While I have a strong personal belief system and faith, I won't be "preaching" in any of my books. They'll have perfectly imperfect people in it who meet, fall in love, fall into bed (at times; sometimes they might wait), have kids, get married. In short, I want to write books that make people think and feel.

My debut novel, "Bountiful Harvest" was released on the 7th anniversary of my mom's death. Somehow, I think my biggest cheerleader and staunchest defender helped it publish so quickly.

Since hitting publish 8/31/16, I've had the privilege to begin co-writing with Liberty Parker on an MC series, the Rebel Guardians. There are seven books out in this series, plus two books in a spin-off (2.0, the next generation) and the first book in The Nelson Brothers (who show up in book 5 of the RGMC). We're hard at work on yet another spin-off (New Beginnings) featuring some of the girls from the RGMC whose love interests are not with the men from the MC!

I also co-write a series of children's short stories with a fellow author, Cherry Shephard and her 10 year old son. Get immersed in "The Mischief Kitties" and their zany, crazy lives!
