Luke (The Hometown Heroes Series Book 1)
Rancher Luke Parker swore he’d never risk his heart again after his childhood sweetheart walked out on him to start a new life in the big city. The brooding cowboy has stayed true to his word over the last six years while he wrangled cattle and guided city slickers on cattle drives through South Florida’s version of the Old West. But everything changes the day a feisty social worker shows up on the Circle P with a scrappy little boy at her side, a child she swears belongs to Luke.
Luke might be the best-looking man who’s ever swaggered into the DCF office, but as far as Sarah Magarity is concerned, he’s the latest in a long line of fathers who refuse to take responsibility for their children. And Luke’s plan to take five-year-old Jimmy on a two-week round-up while they wait for the results of a paternity test? Ludicrous! But it’s either that or stick little Jimmy in a group home. Which isn’t going to happen, not when she’s already put her career on the line for the child.
On the long trail ride, Luke’s concern for those around him convinces Sarah he’s telling the truth when he says he never knew about his son. Soon, Sarah and Luke’s attraction grows hotter than Florida in the summer. But will their new-found love survive when Jimmy’s blood work delivers surprising results?

If the Moon Had Willow Trees (Detroit Eight Series Book 1)
Award-winning author of The Otherness Factor takes us to Detroit during the turbulence of the Sixties.
Detroit,––July 25, 1967, two days after Detroit cops raid a blind pig (speakeasy) inciting the biggest race riot in American history. Maggie Soulier wakes to a deejay’s cry for ‘anyone left in the city’ to hustle pop to police sweltering at highway checkpoints leading into the firestorm.
Maggie’s not a hippie chick looking for a cause, she’s the daughter of notorious French Canadian secessionist radicals who disappeared without a trace. A grad student on a visa, Maggie covers absences at a pizzeria to support her stateside civil rights work. Delivering soft drinks to keep armed men from having a meltdown sounded simple. That was before she met Sam Tervo on the wrong side of a gun––before she offered him a Coke, before shared laughter ricocheted against shrieking sirens and a darkening sky.
Sam, a fierce human rights advocate, thinks he’s being targeted by mafia types who want something; the question is what. More and more he relies on his friend Clyde Webster, a black civil rights leader and Maggie’s co-worker, to guide him through this underworld. Cold sober in the ash, soot and rubble, Clyde pulls together The Eights: eight working-poor, part-time activists, to curb white flight and integrate the burbs. Maggie and Sam, the token whites.
With the intrigue, corruption, brutality and bigotry, Maggie, Sam, Clyde and The Eights experience the love, laughter, irony and self-reflection of blacks and whites redefining friendship and transforming the world with pocket change.
