Romantic Suspense
Cherry Blossom Capers: A Novella Collection (January 2012)
Four women encounter love, danger, and mystery beyond their neighborhood near Washington D.C. Tara Whitley, assistant chef at the White House, helps FBI agent Jack Courtland unmask a state-dinner saboteur. Attorney Ciara Turner and her nemesis Daniel Evans investigate a judge's murder. Archeologist intern Samantha Steele almost loses her nerve and children when she and security guard Nick Porter investigate a forgery at Mount Vernon. Coffee shop owner Susan Holland and builder Vince Martini encounter danger in her late uncle's mansion. Can these couples trust God with their lives and love as they track down killers and culprits?
In this book I got to join three writing friends as we created a series of connected stories about four friends who live on the same cul-de-sac. The truly fun part was we based their neighborhood off of Fairlington Village in Arlington, VA, a place I lived for several years. My heroine just happens to live in my old townhouse!

A Wedding Transpires on Mackinac Island (April 2012)
Can the truth set Alanna Stone free?
Attorney Alanna Stone has never forgotten Jonathon Covington--or the pain of his betrayal. In fact, he's why she's avoided returning to Mackinac Island. But an exhausting, high profile case and an urgent plea from her parents bring her home. She immediately finds herself thrust into controversy as an unsolved murder once again turns public opinion against her family. Jonathon has been waiting for her return, but the woman he sees now has little in common with the one who left. Will they be able to lay aside the past and let God heal their hearts, or will reconciliation come too late?
My family loves escaping to Mackinac Island, so it was a treat to get to write a romance set on the island. Especially when that romance includes mystery and a taste of suspense!
Rainbow's End: A Novella Collection
(May 2012)
A geocaching adventure in the spectacular Lake of the Ozarks area of Missouri is the setting for four romances. Lyssa is the enthusiastic volunteer who can't see past her own plans; Madison, a city girl is paired with an outdoorsy guy who gets on her very last nerve; Hadley, who doesn't know enough about guys to realize she's met a womanizer; and cautious Reagan, who meets an equally cautious guy. As each woman looks for hidden treasure, they'll find that God has pointed them in a different sort of treasure altogether.
This was another fun collection to write with a different group of writing friends. My favorite part is the collaboration in what is usually an isolated endeavor and helping a writer get their very first contract. There's nothing quite like that!

Deadly Exposure
Find rest, O my soul, in God alone; my hope comes from Him. He alone is my rock and my salvation; He is my fortress, I will not be shaken. Psalm 62:5-6
A MURDER AT INTERMISSION
How could a killer have struck in a crowded theater? That was the question plaguing TV news reporter Dani Richards. She'd been in the box next to the victim -- and hadn't heard or seen a thing. Now the very man who broke Dani's heart years ago is investigating the murder. And when her coverage of the story led the killer to stalk her, police officer and former flame Caleb Jamison insisted on protecting her. Dani was afraid to let Caleb close again. Yet she had no choice. The killer's sinister phone calls left no doubt that he'd come for Dani next.
