Before the burglary that shattered her confidence, Phoenix Rose had a fiancé, a successful store and a busy, happy existence.

Surrounded by beautiful scenery, friendly colleagues and a charismatic, widowed boss, Phoenix is slowly inching her way back into the world.

Visiting Cooper’s Charm to check up on her little sister, Ridley Rose impulsively agrees to fill in as housekeeper. Still reeling from an ego-bruising divorce, she finds satisfaction in a job well done—and in the attention of the resort’s handsome scuba instructor.

For Phoenix and Ridley, Cooper’s Charm is supposed to be merely temporary. But this detour may lead to the place they most need to be, where the future is as satisfying as it is surprising…

Just A Hint—Clint

Book 4 in the Visitation, North Carolina Series

Some Days, It Doesn’t Pay To Get Out Of Bed

That’s what crosses Clint Evans‘s mind the minute he takes on the four thugs holding heiress Julie Rose hostage. It isn’t the danger that has Clint in a lather, but Julie herself. The pretty, petite schoolteacher he’s been hired to return to her wealthy fiancé is no fainting trust-fund baby. She’s more of a hellcat, one who won’t be deterred when she sets her sights on something. And her sights are set on Clint.

The one rule Clint never breaks is this—don’t get involved with the client. He can look, but he definitely cannot touch—even if it’s driving him crazy. Keeping Julie safe until he can figure out who’s behind her kidnapping means never letting her out of his sight. And the closer he sticks to the feisty, seductive woman who makes him feel alive… the harder it gets for him to ever consider letting her go…

Jamie

Book 5 in the Visitation, North Carolina Series

It’s not that the woman in his arms is naked. It’s not that he’s carrying her up a mountain in a driving storm. What bothers Jamie is that the unconscious redhead is an intruder, someone who could bring him harm. He has his reasons for hiding out in this stark, secluded cabin; for keeping his emotions under wraps; for never, ever getting too close to anyone.

But before she passed out in his bed, she said her name was Faith—an appropriate name since he has to take her at her word. Who is she? Why is she here? Who sent her? And what is she doing to him? Jamie’s used to feelings of wariness, isolation, of being on guard. What he’s not used to is this dangerous, nearly uncontrollable new emotion raging through him like a man on fire.
