Will this be the year Swan and her lake write a story of love in the skies? She has always been the author of her own story, independent and courageous. Her parents were lost when she was a teen after they ventured into the shores of the Outer Banks, never to return.
Could she open her heart once more, having had it crushed before by a man from another land? Could this Sleeping Beauty open her eyes to be kissed by a Prince Charming she could never have envisioned, from a land not as geographically far away but infinitely far from her ideals? Can royalty, history, magic, and mystery collude to bring these two together? Follow me into these hills and find out.
Ruth Fairfax sees auras. Her former boss exploited her talents to embezzle from their investment clients, and she fled home to magical Pinevale Valley to evade his devious manipulations. But the past always has a way of catching up.
When Hinto Miller’s grandmother asks for help, he relocates from Wyoming to Pinevale Valley to manage her shop, The Rustic Reliquary. Hiring Ruth is the perfect solution to free up his time to open his fledgling trail-riding business. Their attraction is undeniable, but Ruth’s past puts Hinto in danger.
Ruth must embrace her heritage and confront her past to protect the man she’s come to love. Will she be forced to sacrifice her heart to make amends for her past, or can she protect both love and honor?
Grace Culmer, a young widow seeking healing and purpose, moves to Pinevale Valley after inheriting Culmer Manor. When she moves into the dilapidated house, she meets Samuel Trueblood Haight, a ghost from the 18th century bound to the manor because of a curse. Together, they navigate personal loss, uncover historical mysteries, and seek redemption and peace.
A meeting of true opposites: a woman and a man, an optimist and a pessimist, modern and colonial, the living and the dead.
Can Grace and Samuel maneuver around grief, personal and public history, and a complex relationship to heal and transform their lives and possibly find new love? This endearing paranormal romance has the answer.
It’s November 1928 in the small town of Bakersbee, Georgia. Fifteen-year-old Scooter Wagner longs to escape the mines for a life in medicine, while Mary Maldon, the mine owner’s daughter, harbors ambitions of becoming a nurse and helping others.

Their journey ignites a spark between them despite their youth and social differences. But love comes at a price. Mary’s father issues an ultimatum that forces Scooter to choose between love and saving his family.
The pair find themselves on separate paths—or so it seems. In a world where coal dust and class barriers threaten to smother hope, can their bond prove strong enough to forge a new future?
