The Messy Life of Jane Tanner

Coyote Canyon, Book 3

When your life is chaotic, what’s one more complication?

Jane Tanner’s friends are settling down, while she’s been settling for less. She longs for adventure and the big city, but caring for her ailing grandfather means she’s shackled to her small town. She’s excited her vintage gift shop is finally up and running, but it’s not enough.

Longing to fulfill at least one dream—to become a mother before her biological clock ticks out—Jane drunkenly propositions the worst possible candidate for Dad. Kurt Elway is off-limits with a capital O. He’s a good friend, but he’s too young, too busy running his family’s ranch. Plus, he and Jane’s sister, Kate, used to date. That kind of off-limits.

Unbeknownst to Jane, Kurt’s pining for her. When he’s fully on board to father her baby, she sees him in a new light. Then lingering baggage between Kate and Kurt suddenly surfaces and Jane is reminded of just how messy life is. But…so is parenting. Maybe it’s time to embrace the mess?

Silver Springs Series

The Silver Springs series is an open-ended contemporary romance series that includes Finding Our Forever, No One But You, Until You Loved Me, Right Where We Belong, Unforgettable You and Christmas in Silver Springs. These books are set in a picturesque small town (fictional) in Southern California which has been modeled very loosely on Ojai—a place where even the hardest hearts can learn to love again.

Stillwater Trilogy

The Stillwater Trilogy is a romantic suspense trilogy set in Stillwater, Mississippi (a fictional place where some of the characters have minds as small as the town itself) and is made up of three tightly connected stories—Dead Silence, Dead Giveaway and Dead Right. In these books, the beloved town preacher is missing. The heroine of the first novel knows where he’s at and why he’s there. She was present the night he was killed and his body buried. These books can be read as stand alone novels, but because they have an overarching mystery, it would be best to read them in order.
