Willow Creek Hearts — Series Overview
I write clean historical romance stories for readers who believe in second chances, quiet strength, and love worth loving again. Each book can stand alone, but they’re best enjoyed in order as the characters and town grow together—just like a family.
Set in the quiet Wyoming Territory town of Willow Creek, this 5 book series follows women and men finding their way back to hope after loss. From mail-order brides to wounded widowers, each book tells a tender, redemptive story of love blooming in unexpected places—and reminds us it's never too late to begin again.
Not too late. Not second best. Just exactly right.

(Expected release December 31, 2025.)
A tender Western romance about memory, meaning,

When a flood brings trouble to her doorstep—and Levi Callahan with it—Eliza finds herself drawn to a man who sees through her restraint. But as truths about the past come to light, she must decide whether clinging to memory is the same as honoring it… or if love, like lantern light, is meant to be carried forward.
