Where every porch has a story, every neighbor knows a secret, and everyone is welcome.






NEW RELEASE!




Welcome to the Compass Rose B&B where there's always a scone waiting for you, the seagulls don't follow the rules and someone will be dead before dessert.

NOW IN PRINT!

 

Welcome to Starlight Hills, where mountain views, small-town charm, and the little Bitty Bake Shop make romance always worth savoring.

Meet Bitty Crane, the town’s beloved baker and resident matchmaker, who knows that sometimes all it takes is a little holiday magic—and the right baked good—to bring two stubborn hearts together.

In Muffins & Mistletoe, Corinne Mackenzie makes the biggest mistake of her life when she turns down a marriage proposal from the man she loves. With Christmas approaching, she turns to Bitty for help winning Jimmy Crane’s heart back. The trouble? Jimmy intends to avoid Corinne at all costs…until mistletoe gets in the way.

In A Proposal & Pumpkin Pie, city girl Lacey Andrews returns home for Thanksgiving, expecting nothing more than family, crisp autumn days, and a slice of Bitty’s famous pumpkin pie. But one chance encounter with Kane O’Brien—and one very unexpected proposal—may change everything she thought she knew about love, family, and coming home.

Two heartwarming novellas. One charming town. And plenty of love to go around.
