Contemporary Romances


You Are on the Air Series

Fourteen Christian authors and I joined together to write in the You Are on the Air series as a fun writing project. The idea I presented to the authors is that somewhere in each of our stories, at least one character would call into a radio station for Christian relationship or dating advice from a live, on the air personality.
To make it even more engaging, we decided to write one book for each of the letters in the alphabet. These will not release in alphabetical order, to keep it fun for the reader to see which letter is being released next. We hope you’ll want to collect every book in the series! We are having a blast behind the scenes.

For Reese, it’s love at first sight. As far as Calliope is concerned, it’s one more risk that she’s afraid to take. Can he build her confidence enough to accept his love?

Calliope Schmidt loves her hometown of Frankenmuth, Michigan-- a German American town that keeps the holiday alive all year long. She is even content with her job as a classroom aide.

That is, until the teacher collapses. The new principal offers Calliope the chance to be the real teacher—the role she’d already been playing for the students. The handsome, intimidating man thinks she can do it. He’ll even mentor her.

Voices from the past say that he’s wrong. She’ll fail. She always fails. Whose voice will she allow to sway her? Will she be ready to accept the surprise her gorgeous boss springs on her?

Brighten your holiday season with this sweet Christmas happily ever after.

Rosella doesn't trust men or God. Kyle determines to change that in this sweet contemporary romance.

Will this be a stumbling block in this whirlwind courtship? With one disrupted date after another, is there any hope for their relationship?

Will their dates bring an end to their romance before Rosella has a chance to learn the difference between love and attraction?
If you enjoy bonnet-wearing piggies and a flock of silly chickens, this book is for you.

Empty-nester gone wild? Why should a handicap stop this thirty-something heroine?

Julia Arnold adores the color pink and her old LeSabre. Those are the only two things that bring her happiness since her husband's passing. When she learns of her inheritance, she seizes on the chance to start a new life in Wisteria, Wisconsin.

Soon after Julia arrives, strange things happen. From roaches to mice to late night intruders, someone is attacking her business. Perhaps handsome Alex—the other heir—is behind the mischief. Or is it someone she would never expect to sabotage her new life? And what's the deal with the treasure supposedly buried in her basement?

What begins as a new start in a charming small town rapidly morphs into a race to discover the villain’s identity. How will she discover the face behind the vandalism before she is harmed?

Intrigue and murder disrupt her small-town life. Can two amateurs find the answer in time?

Poppy Ackerson does not understand her sudden visions. She knows about nails. Not the elegant, painted nails of a lady’s hand. No, her expertise deals with the sort pounded into wood.

Little wonder she runs her grandmother’s hardware so well. She is adept at construction, the trade she studied. Women might not have typically pursued building trades and construction in her generation, but she’s happy doing that. 

So, why does Hawk, the newcomer in town, pursue her? When they met, she took a terrible tumble in front of him. After that embarrassing accident, he should have lost all interest in her. Something else happens during her fall. When she bumps her head, repeated visions invade her mind. She sees Hawk and her together, a premonition she gets repeatedly. The vision terrifies her. Worse, when one of her customers dies, break-ins at her shop appear to be linked to the murder.

 With the help of the annoying and attractive Hawk, will she stop the murderer before her premonition becomes a reality?
