Coming in 2025
Welcome to Heartwood!
Located in the heart of the Texas Hill Country, the small town of Heartwood is a charming and welcoming place where you'll instantly feel at home.
Fall for You: Texas Heat
Jocelyn Barnes couldn’t wait to leave Heartwood in her rearview mirror—even if it meant breaking two hearts in the process. Now, with her career on hiatus and her great-aunt in need of help as she recovers from concussion, Jo finds herself right back where she started, older but not much wiser, about to make all the same mistakes all over again.
Carter Donahue doesn’t believe in looking back. As the chef/manager of his family’s new farm-to-table restaurant, he’s got his hands full.
With a goal of turning his legacy into a must-see, Hill Country destination, his focus is on the future. The past? He’d rather that stayed buried. The last thing he needs (or wants) is to dig up those old feelings or fall back in love with his ex—especially when she’s already got one foot out the door. Again.

One Steamy Summer: Texas Summer
Even when it’s hotter than a stolen tamale, Cash Donahue loves those Texas Summers. Between farmers markets, festivals, and town and county fairs, he’s always on the road selling produce, meat and eggs and proving that even baby brothers can do their part to save the family farm.
This year, there’s someone new on the circuit. Kayleigh St James also has something to prove. After her ex took everything in their divorce—including her job at the marketing company they’d founded and grown together. She determined to prove she can make a success out of anything—even selling peaches from her grandfather’s orchard out of the back of a rusty old truck.
Cash wants to play Sir Galahad and rescue the princess. Kayleigh wants to play Annie Oakley and prove that anything Cash can do, she can do better. And when the two of them go head to head, well…it’s gonna be one steamy summer.

Bound to Me: Texas Nights
From rise of day to setting sun, a farmer’s work is never done.
Running the family farm is a full-time job for Campbell Donahue. Day in and day out, the oldest Donahue brother is always on the clock—even when there’s not a clock in sight. That’s why he loves those hot Texas nights—that’s the only time he gets to shed his responsibilities—to his employees, his crops, his livestock, his land. Not to mention his siblings, whose livelihoods depend on Camp doing his job. It’s fair to say he’s never had a day to himself. But then again, he’s never really wanted one. Until now.

Fiddler on the Hoof:
Urban Affrairs: Nashville
Once upon a time, three authors went to Nashville. They drank a lot of coffee. They drank a lot of wine. They ate some fabulous food. And they wrote. A lot. And on Saturday evening, they went bar-hopping along Lower Broadway. Call it research.
Somewhere between bars two and three, the idea to write an interconnected series of stories was born. But then life happened. And, the idea died.
But ever since then, buried in the back of my mind, there lived a story waiting to be told. This is that story. It's a little bit true, a little bit not, about something that may have occurred one night in Nashville...
Possibly releasing in 2025
