Hope for the Best - Book 1Hope Jones grew up on Lake Sutton. It was a vacation hot spot, and summertime flings were a part of life there. In fact, that was how her own parents had met years ago. Years had passed since Hope and Charlie had spent their childhood summers together. Charlie was definitely a man now, and Hope was beginning to feel not-so-jaded about a harmless summertime romance.Full Circle - Book 2My father was one of the best surgeons in the world. He wanted nothing more than for my brother and me to follow in his footsteps. I was in my last year as a pre-med student when I caught the acting bug and decided to pause my dreams of becoming a doctor to try my hand at acting. It was already too much for my father to handle when I broke that news to him. But, that kind of rebellion would prepare him for other things… like me falling in love at first sight.Just for Tonight - Book 3My plans for the summer seemed to be falling apart. Originally, I was going to live outside Chicago, but suddenly it seemed I'd be spending the summer at a family friend’s cabin in Arkansas. Even that looked like it wouldn’t work out until a handsome stranger miraculously got involved. I was hoping for the best and looking forward to getting some much needed work done. What I didn’t expect was that meeting Beau and going to the cabin would change my life forever.Way Past Mistletoe - Book 4The lights were strung, the mistletoe hung, and Christmas season was in full swing. Everywhere I looked, people were happy and making holiday plans. Not me. I desperately wanted to stay in Houston, but it would take a real Christmas miracle for that to happen. Ideally, that miracle would be handsome and charming.The Wild One - Book 5Eric Jones was from a small lakeside town my family frequently visited. He was a rebellious, bad boy type who rode skateboards and was the life of the party. He was the type of guy I should avoid at all costs, and I knew it. But one summer all that changed.The Rest is History - Book 6I was at a wedding purely for work related connections. I was surprised when a handsome stranger sat next to me. Caleb was a much needed distraction to end an awful day, but I never expected to see him again. You can guess how that worked out.Two Is Better Than One - Book 7Summer Stockton was a Grammy Award winning artist and former winner of American Idol. She had been performing on stage since she was a child. She was extremely busy and equally famous, and not at all in a position to fall in love with her temporary bodyguard. But Miami was just too romantic, and Casey Morgan was completely irresistible. Summer knew it was cliché and unlikely, but there was nothing she could do to stop herself from falling in love. The problem was, Casey wasn’t a bodyguard at all. He had another job, a very secret job, and he was about to return to it. Also, Summer had a twin sister, Allie, who was a major part of her life and career. In a way, this is Allie’s story, too.

Only later, when the suspect is behind bars, does Jill wonder whether he’s as guilty as he appears. Prompted by a terrifying attempt on her life, Jill and old flame Dan Nichols dig deeper into the case. But standing in their way lies an obstacle Jill hasn’t counted on: the power of a covenant.
