Heartwarming Romance with a Southern Accent
About Me
I've told stories since I was a child. I wrote my first "book" about my dog when I was ten. Thanks to my sentimental mother, I still have the book. As I got older, I entertained the neighbors with stories I wrote. Sentimental me, I still have those notebooks of handwritten stories. Fast forward years later, God nudged me to start writing again. To make a years-long story short, Love's Twisting Trail released in April of 2022. I write to encourage people while entertaining them. Life is full of problems and unforeseen heartaches. Don't give up.
When life hands you lemons, don't settle for lemonade. Taste and see that the Lord is good. Psalm 34:8

Treasure and Trouble
Book 1 in Troubles of the Heart
Can a pampered Southern belle give up her life of luxury to follow her heart?
Eugenia Hampton wants to be loved for who she is, not what she has. Her parents intend to see her married and cared for, but she's determined not to be a mere parlor decoration to show off some man's accomplishments. She wants a love match or no match.
Paul Stuart is tired of clashing with people over his abolitionist views--especially with his father, who is the overseer for Eugenia's father. Paul is saving money to move from Tennessee and buy a farm in Illinois where he can live in peace with people of like-minded ideas.
Paul rescues Eugenia after her horse throws her. They form a secret, forbidden friendship based on their common family problems. Neither of them expects their relationship to grow into love. But when Eugenia's father selects a non-Christian man for her husband, she must choose between her known and comfortable life of luxury or a lifetime of love with Paul, where little else will be certain.

But when Luke's cousin is deceived by a rouge, who only Luke and Clarisse know the whole truth about, they form a reluctant alliance to protect his cousin. Their feigned attraction grows into genuine love. But will the differences between them become a wall too tall to climb or can they find a way to go around?
