Sarah Mims stood alongside her husband and fellow Texans for the entirety of the thirteen grueling days of battle at the Alamo. Upon capture in the aftermath, she and the other women are swept up in Mexican wagons bound for an unknown future. Intercepted by a group of Texan scouts, the women are rescued and taken to General Sam Houston.

It is there at camp that Sarah decides her journey in Texas is not yet over. Saddling up with a group of Rangers, she becomes their appointed nurse. Learning to live on the prairie and overcoming her grief, she becomes close with kin-spirit Lee Anderson, a Ranger with a story similar to her own.

As the war rages on, Sarah questions her placement amongst the men and learns that there are many more threats at play than Santa Anna and his army; some are even sleeping in the same circle.

Elliot Apershine’s yearly Christmas charity ball is in trouble — a sudden cancellation by his usual bakery has left his event dessert-less. If he doesn’t want the attendees’ checks to be as empty as their plates, he needs to find someone to fill the order, but in the middle of the holiday season, that’s not an easy task. When his search leads him to Ash Preston, a man who is as sweet as the desserts he makes, Elliot hopes the ball will be saved… but his heart might be in danger.

Ever since moving to Everlight City, Ash Preston has dreamed of one day opening his own bakery. However, dreams don’t put food on the table, so he works at a catering business and takes on any baking side gigs he can find, saving every penny possible toward his goal. A last-minute holiday order from a rich client could open a lot of doors for him, and Ash will do whatever it takes to make it work out… even if it means fighting some unexpectedly warm feelings toward the handsome and kind Mr. Apershine.

In the mix of holiday chaos, sweet treats, and a very cute stray cat, is it possible for something more to grow between them, or will that budding warmth collapse like a poorly made cake?

This clean, sweet holiday romance is the first in the Everlight City Romance series. The next book in the series, Scones for Valentine’s, will release later this year.

Edward Price had built a life of law and order in Rio de Roja, taming the wild East Texas Territory with his Colt Peacemaker. But when the vicious outlaw Quinn Valentine and his gang raze his town and slaughter his family, Edward is left for dead. Now, with nothing but his gun and a burning desire for vengeance, he embarks on a dangerous journey to track them down across the unforgiving Arizona territory…

Will he survive long enough to get his revenge?

Morgan Adams has survived a life of hardship, scraping by on the edge of despair. When fate brings her to the wounded lawman, she seizes the chance to help him — and in return, gain the justice she seeks.

Can she trust the man who carries so much darkness in his heart?

Together, Edward and Morgan face dangerous enemies and the demons of their pasts. As they close in on the outlaw, they must decide if vengeance will be enough — or if redemption can still be found along their violent path.

Joshua Barnes-Fleetwood is the prince of Willow Fork, Texas, but not all is right with his world. He’s the heir to a multimillion-dollar company, has a family he adores, and his best friend at his side. He can’t figure out what is missing until Nicole takes a job at Christa’s Café. The pretty waitress is a mystery he needs to solve. He’s never been so attracted to a woman, and after one night in her company, he’s sure she can handle his needs. Unfortunately, he’s also sure she’s lying to him.

Jared “Grim” Burch found a home with the Barnes-Fleetwood family when he desperately needed one. With support from his newfound family, Grim beat all the odds and became a veterinarian. In Willow Fork, however, there are still people who are suspicious of him and his past. When he sees Nicole, he knows she’s the perfect woman for him and Josh, but he wonders if he has the right to bring her into his sometimes dangerous circle.

For Nicole Mason, Willow Fork is nothing more than a pit stop. Once she can save up the money to fix her car, she’ll do what she’s been doing for the last several years. Run. Framed for her husband’s murder, she can never stop looking over her shoulder. There’s always someone on her trail, and she can’t let them bring her back to the real killer. Getting to know Josh and Grim makes her dream of the life they could have together. If only she could trust them with her secrets.

When their past catches up to them all, they’ll find out that even a small town can be big trouble.
