Graceful Harmony - Book Two
Melanie Brown's life has become a miry pit that she may never break free from.
She hated her job, had an apartment she couldn't afford, and her pride was tumbling. After being dismissed from her teaching job, as a music instructor, Melanie's mother, Lilly Brown showed up with her flying eagle RV, ready to take her to a 'safe place' on her sister Faye's lavender farm. There, in the quiet town of Thistle, Texas, she could recoup her losses. Melanie had thought her life couldn't get any worse. She was wrong. Wild Billy Higgins loved taking risks. He'd rode bucking broncos and ran into burning buildings, but none of that prepared him for the bristly, sharp-tongued woman that had come to stay at his best friend's farm. He could have believed that Faye's beautiful sister was an angel sent from heaven if her horns weren't tilting her halo. He'd never backed away from a challenge, then again, he'd never been up against the likes of Melanie Brown before. They say opposites attract. Billy just wasn't sure if they could ever get along and live in harmony. What Readers Are Saying:I love returning to Sweet Grove, Texas. This is a sweet and clean romance with natural dialog, wit and heart. I highly recommend this book to anyone missing Sweet Grove or just looking for a great story. Amazon Reader- 5 stars
I really enjoyed this sweet and clean love story. The characters were fun, real, and charming. I look forward to reading more by this author in the future. Amazon Reader -5 stars |
Blessed Gifts - Book Three
Ben wasn't sure if he was father material. Then in a stopped heartbeat, he became a single parent.
Benjamin Brown wasn't proud of his mistakes, but he did intend to try to step up and do what was right, even if the baby's mother wanted nothing to do with him. When the delivery goes bad, Ben is left holding his son with no idea of how to take care of a baby's basic needs. Lively Lilly has a plan. Ben's mother, Lilly, takes him to his sister's farm in Thistle Texas. There is nothing for miles around except fields of lavender, gardens of produce, and an ornery old goose. However, his sisters Faye and Melanie promised to help Ben get back on his feet. Unfortunately, he fears that he's slowly sinking in the mud. Olivia Canales wants out. She has outgrown her family home and nagging/interfering mother. She wants her own place, but jobs in town are few and far between. Besides, she loves working on her best friend's Lavender Farm and Faye has promised her full-time work once they get everything going and open up to visitors. When Faye's brother shows up with a baby he has no idea how to take care of, Olivia's heart goes out to his dilemma. The deceased mother's parents show up and give Ben an out his problem: They will raise the baby, but only if he gives up all his rights. Ben doesn't want to lose his son but desperately needs help so he can finish his last semester of college. Olivia agrees, only to end up going in deeper than she ever anticipated. |

Visit the beautiful Lavender Farm where a family of three siblings finds hope, healing, and love in the Texas Hill Country.
It starts with a man on his deathbed. An estranged daughter. A young man who belongs to no one. And the mercy they find in a loving God who brings them all together…. Because of the Lord’s great mercy, Faye and Chase decide to turn the little farm they’ve inherited from Heath into a Lavender Farm for tourists to enjoy, deep in the heart of the Texas hill country. What they didn’t expect was for this simple farm to become a place of healing and restoration. When Faye’s siblings—Melanie, soon to be followed by her wayward brother—Benjamin, show up on their doorstep, needing help, love, and acceptance, their vision for the farm becomes something neither of them anticipated. In the midst of beauty, there might be thorns. In the thorns, there might be pain. But in the beautiful places, where the Lord’s light shines brightest, there one finds healing and restoration.
