Willow Creek Hearts - Series Overview
I write clean historical romance for readers who believe in second chances, quiet strength, and love worth loving again.
Each story in the Willow Creek Hearts collection stands beautifully on its own—complete with its own hero, heroine, and happy ending—while offering an even richer experience when read together as the town and its people intertwine like family.
Set in the quiet Wyoming Territory town of Willow Creek, these five tender historical romances follow men and women finding their way back to hope after loss. From mail-order brides to wounded widowers, every story reminds us it’s never too late to begin again.
Not too late. Not second best. Just exactly right.

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.
