An adult contemporary sweet holiday romance.
Brad has just one wish this Christmas: to find a real home. Having lost his parents before joining the Marines, he misses that sense of belonging and family. When he meets an introverted flight attendant on his journey to start his civilian life, he wonders if this might be his chance.
After a messy divorce, Shelly has decided the only person allowed within the brittle walls of her broken heart is her daughter, Lilly. At least, until she meets a friendly man who hails from her hometown while working a routine flight. When she learns he needs a place to stay, she offers the apartment over her garage out of the kindness of her heart – and her desperate need for extra cash.
Even as Brad endears himself to Shelly by saving the town’s Christmas pageant, she attempts to keep her distance to protect the fragile stability she’s built since her divorce. But Brad’s willingness to walk the fine line between what Shelly’s heart wants and what her head allows slowly wears down her resolve. And when Brad receives a job offer near the only family he has left, Shelly must decide whether she’s willing to risk her heart again before he leaves her home, and her life, for good.

Review
"You have the hunky hero and the damsel in distress (or rather lonely), and things unfold wonderfully from there. Amidst a bit of bickering and the usual getting-to-know-you kinks that occur, these two develop feelings for each other. Whether or not those emotions turn into long lasting ones, or fade off in the distance, is a joy to discover. Heartwarming and well written, with wonderful characters and a romance that avoids all the genre pitfalls while still managing to grip and enchant you. Reading this is a perfect holiday gift to yourself!"

When Cardinals Appear
Contemporary Women's Romantic Fiction
Have you ever been stalked by a bird? Grief-stricken Lanie’s frequent visits from a cardinal teach her that those we lose are never truly gone in this emotional story about family, forgiveness, and a mother's undying love.
When Lanie returns to her hometown to settle her late mother’s estate, her frequent chance meetings with her former high school sweetheart, Nate, stir up the past, especially when a cardinal appears every time he does. Lanie’s heard the legend “when cardinals appear, angels are near,” but there’s no way her mom is meddling in her love life from the afterlife, right?
Sounds crazy, particularly since her mom never liked Nate. And when she learns her ex is harboring a secret about her mother, she suspects there’s a purpose to the cardinal’s visits. But discovering the truth risks breaking her heart all over again.
