One Southern Summer
It’s her second chance summer…if she’s ready for it–in this warm and utterly irresistible Southern small-town novel.
When Avery Lansing Crawford left her hometown of Camellia, Alabama, she was the darling of the town. A beauty queen. Now she’s come back a disgraced and divorced mom who has lost almost everything–her home, her husband, even her TV design show–all while the public watched. And if the humiliation wasn’t bad enough, Avery and her two small children are moving in with her mama…just in time to give everyone in Camellia something to talk about.
And oh, they’re talkin’. Especially when Avery reignites her old friendship with Cole Whitaker who’s offered Avery the opportunity to do something real: a redesign project that would help survivors of human trafficking. It could kick-start both her career and her confidence–not to mention give her a chance to spend more time with Cole.
With three generations of strong Southern women around the family dinner table, coming home to Camellia could be the perfect fresh start. Even if Avery is the topic of salacious gossip over sweet tea and her grandmother won’t stop interfering in her love life. But the bonds of family and the promise of second chances just might lead to a future that looks nothing like she expected.

A Winter of Sweet Secrets
What will it take to save her family’s candy company …and end a decades-long feud?
The Evergreen Candy Company is a small-town Alaskan tradition, run by Jovi Wright’s family for decades. But with her grandparents no longer at the helm, Jovi’s parents are considering selling. Determined not to let that happen, Jovi hops a plane back to her hometown. Her plan: launch Grammie’s salted caramel chews as a new product that will save the company. But with Grammie’s memory fading and the recipe missing, Jovi has her work cut out for her.
Still reeling from being jilted by her fiancé, Jovi welcomes the distraction of trying to re-create the recipe from scratch. True, the trip is off to a rocky start when her flight is canceled and she has to car-share with a grumpy and mysterious author seeking a fresh start, but Burke Solomon’s little girl is adorable. And the recently widowed man needs help adjusting to Evergreen, whether he’ll admit it or not.
With a looming deadline and the stresses of single parenthood, the last thing Burke needs is a bright-eyed optimist like Jovi to disrupt his life. But their association soon becomes the talk of the town because of a long-standing feud between their families. Turns out, Burke’s late aunt and Jovi’s Grammie were once best friends—until something tore them apart. Untangling their history provides an antidote to Burke’s writer’s block. But when he unearths several shocking family secrets, will revealing them settle the feud or bring everything he and Jovi have been working toward crashing down around them?
