A Place to Belong - Book 1
She had a plan. God had a better one.

Letting Go of Perfect - Book 2
She’s done everything right. So why does her life still feel wrong?
Michelle Harper has been the perfect daughter, the perfect hostess, the perfect face of the Harper legacy. But when a fall from her horse brings everything to a standstill, cracks begin to show in the image she’s spent her whole life maintaining.
If you love cozy, character-driven fiction with emotional depth, strong family threads, and a faith foundation that never preaches - you will love Michelle’s story.
An Ever After Christmas - book 3
This Christmas, love comes wrapped in community, kindness—and just the right amount of cinnamon sugar.
Wedding bells are ringing in Willow Creek, and Sammy Thomas is doing everything she can to make this holiday season one to remember. With a wedding around the corner, a twinkle-lit Grove to manage, and a planner bursting with events, she’s determined to make space for meaning amid the hustle.
When Grace Finds You - book 4
What if God’s grace is bigger than the shame that won’t leave you alone?
Spoiler alert: It is.
Amanda never imagined she’d be starting over in a tiny town with a newborn, no plan, and more questions than answers. But between walks with her mentor, Lora, a slow-growing friendship with the town’s most eligible bachelor, and a God who keeps showing up in the quiet places—she’s beginning to believe that maybe broken doesn’t mean beyond repair.
And maybe finding grace has less to do with being strong…
and everything to do with letting yourself be seen—by the God who knit you together in your mother’s womb, and by the friends He’s placed beside you for the road ahead.
