A heartwarming story is the hallmark of romance. Savor the magic of love in Leading Hearts (First Books In Series) with my three sweet and inspirational romances in 1 volume. These wholesome stories, where God is oftentimes at the center, brim with love and laughter.
A Love Song To Cherish (Inspirational) It’s easy to recognize another’s pain. The tough part is facing your own. When Dorothy Thompson returns to Cherish, SC, to play piano for her brother’s wedding, memories and fear nearly paralyzes her fingers. If anyone she knew back in high school discovers her secret, the whispers will start. Fake. Fraud. Failure. It’s not as if she can blame God for her troubles. She did that all by herself. But, remembering His lessons, she’s fighting to get back on track. All she can do is pray the wedding vocalist—her brother’s friend Ryan, a rising opera star—won’t notice the way her hands shake. When Ryan Edwards sets foot inside a church for the first time in years, he’s no longer the kid from the poor side of town, but someone who’s made it on his own. Without God’s help. When he lays eyes on Dorothy—all grown up, more beautiful than ever, and clearly hiding something—he almost forgets why he left Cherish. Almost. But while his heart yearns to call the tune, he can’t forget his hard-earned career comes first…and his old friend’s little sister is off limits. Note: Contains references to opiate addiction. When the storm destroys everything, remember God has your name on something else.
Seeking Fortune (A Regency Inspirational Romance) Are her superstitions working their magic…or is God sending a message?
First novel in the Romany Gypsy Seeking Series. A Golden Pen Winner. Losing his wife and daughter to influenza shook James Colchester’s faith in God. As another epidemic threatens, he’s torn between what’s best for his fragile son: fleeing to his Welsh homeland, or staying put. In a moment of weakness, the black-haired, green-eyed Gypsy’s delicate touch on his palm quells his fear…and her beauty ignites a warmth he hasn’t felt in years. Desperate to return to her people, Valentina goes against the lessons her mother taught her to soothe the Englishman into a false sense of security. But as James’ quiet faith sparks a hunger to know it for herself, she realizes she’s made an unforgivable mistake. One that could rob James of his most precious gift—and destroy their chance for lifelong love. There are lies more believable than the truth.
1-800-CUPID A house flipper looking for quick profit. A survivor with a dream. Can two broken hearts find a place to call home? Prepare for romance and fun with the first book in my home-flipping series. When a Miami investor calls in search of prime property flip prospects, North Carolina real estate broker Candee Contando expects to meet a balding, steely-eyed land shark.

Teddy Winchester is adept at negotiating life’s curves, but Candee’s curves stop him in his tracks. She’s a warm spark in the emptiness he’s felt since his brother died. Attraction glows in Candee’s eyes as well, but also wistfulness as she points out all the reasons a tumbledown Victorian doesn’t fit into his tried-and-true house-flipping plan. When the heart flips, there’s no telling where the the walls will fall.

"I really enjoyed this first book in Josie's house flipping series! Ireally felt drawn to Candee Contando. Her personality and her love forchildren animals touched my heart! I liked Teddy, but he really made memade when he pretty much ignored his current girlfriend. He should havebroken it off with her before pursuing anything with Candee. But heredeemed himself with the house and his love for his nephew, Joseph,touched my heart as well!
This was a short and sweet story and I enjoyed it a lot!"
