(self-published)

Sometimes, the ones who know a girl best are her dog and her horse. Ranch-raised and city-tested, Maggie knows all about life’s battles, and she is prepared to fight them all – for her son, her makeshift family, her ranch, and her best friend. But to survive, Maggie will have to learn to fight to save herself.

Maggie McClellan lived the best of two worlds: her corporate profession as a PR director for a world-renowned boot maker, and her frequent escapes to the serenity of the West Texas ranch where she was raised – until her parents were killed in a car wreck. Selling the ranch seemed the obvious choice, but when Maggie learned that she was pregnant, she could not imagine raising her child anywhere but on the M-Bar Ranch.

Ten years later, Maggie is back on her feet, but someone is threatening to take it all away. Maggie is not just fighting to save a ranch, she is fighting to save a home, a way of life, and not just for herself, but for her son and the makeshift family who has stood beside her through all storms.

A mystery over two timeframes…

Sometimes love can be a shortcut to heaven – literally! A gift from the dead? Sophie Harris thinks so until her appointed handyman – the delectable Andy – unearths skeletons in the garden of her inherited new home.

Could a secret murderer lurk in her family tree? Simultaneously, the buried victims live on in their own time – 1930’s – as their story breathes through Elise’s diary. The touching love story twists through intrigue and heartfelt sympathy. Can happiness ever be theirs?

Delving into family secrets, Sophie finds herself at the mercy of a poisonous pen, her life threatened – just how far will they go to keep the truth hidden?

Police efforts do nothing to dent the poison pen’s composure, and a plot to murder Sophie begins to take shape. With the truth inches from revelation, Sophie is left clutching at the jaws of death. Will the police arrive in time?
