Finding Home - Book 1

Hard-working but soft-hearted Casie Carmichael seems to be a magnet for strays and misfits. When a run-down ranch ends up in her possession, she hopes to sell it off. But before long, she finds a horse that needs rescuing, an exasperating old flame who turns her life upside down, and a trio of kids in dire need of help. Together they'll discover that Hope Springs is a place where the heart goes to heal.
Home Fires - Book 2

Casie Carmichael's accidental dude ranch is well on its way, but the residents of her Hope Springs haven are running wild. With an unwed mother-to-be, a turbulent teen romance, and a bronc-riding grandmother to contend with, the last thing Casie has time for is a romantic relationship. But convincing recently returned Colt Dickenson she's not interested in him--or the confusion he causes her--is easier said than done.
Yet as Casie's ragtag crew saddles up to help with everything from birthing babies to legal woes, she finally begins to see that family wears many faces--and being independent isn't the same as being alone.
Finally Home - Book 3

Wild horses, wild hearts, and a diapered lamb under the Christmas tree...Could life get any more hectic at the Lazy Windmill? With the holidays reminding Casie of every mistake she's ever made, and her assistant Emily struggling to be a single mom, it's anyone's guess what the New Year will bring. Then bad boy Colt Dickenson shows up with a ring. No one has ever gotten under her skin like he has, but Casie can't believe a rough stock cowboy will stick around for the long haul.  

But the heart wants what it wants; love is as stubborn as family, foals, and farm equipment. And sometimes you have to face your fears to find the happiness only coming home can bring.

Country Christmas - Short Story FREE

It’s a short story about Emily Kane (the funky, spunky teenage mom who stole so many hearts in my Hope Springs and Home in the Hills series) as well as several new (and in my opinion, endearing) characters.
