ISBN 0-8034-9742-3
Holly’s father is
quitting the business. The problem is – he’s Santa
Claus.
The only way to get her father back to work is to accept
his challenge to get just one person to realize the true
meaning of the season. Another problem - he gets to pick
that person. He chooses Michael Sutton, hard-nosed and
hard-hearted Vice President of Property Management at
the local mall.
Holly races the clock to prove to Michael that Christmas
is more than just the latest video game and begins to
find cracks in the wall he’s placed around his heart. As
the days count down to Christmas Eve, she discovers a
heartrending holiday secret that just might cause her to
not only lose the challenge, but also her own heart as
well.

Stealing April's Heart
Avalon Books
January 2003
ISBN: 0-8034-9573-0
APRIL STEVENS: Confident and focused,
she’s on a fast track to own the most prestigious Sports
Medicine Clinic on the East Coast. She has no time for
interruptions if she’s going to stick to the timetable
she has set for herself. But in a single passing moment,
she runs into one mighty big distraction, one that could
set her heart on another path.
RYNE ANDERSON: He knew the owners of
the New York Rockets expected him to he healed and ready
for spring training in six months. But why rehab at a
clinic run by a woman? What did women know about the
importance of sports to men who lived and breathed the
game?
April Stevens felt her spirit rise to
the challenge when she saw the skepticism in Ryne
Anderson’s eyes. The baseball player’s career is in her
hands and he obviously doesn’t think she’s the right
person for the job. Let the games begin. April works
hard to show Ryne that she’s as career-minded as he is,
and as capable as any male trainer to tackle the
challenge. But can she keep hidden her feminine side and
the not-so professional feelings for him that are on the
rise each time they are together?
Baseball means everything to Ryne and
he reluctantly agrees to put his career in Aprils’
hands. But as he works to return to the starting
line-up, it soon becomes clear to him that he wants more
than just a doctor-patient relationship. Will it stay a
cat and mouse game, each reluctant to admit how they
feel about the other, as time is running out as baseball
season approaches? Or will Stealing April’s Heart become
the most important part in winning the most crucial game
of all – love.

Jessie's Wedding
Avalon Books
August 2001
ISBN: 0-8034-9485-8
When
Jessie O’Brien rumbles the ambulance into the
Emergency Room parking lot, she knows she’s
affecting someone’s future. Little does she know
that future is her own. Jarrett Collins, the man
who she always thought she would marry but who left
her suddenly years earlier greets the stretcher.
Jessie
had walked down the aisle with Jarrett Collins once
already. She was only five and afraid he was going
to get her beautiful flower girls gown dirty. He
was seven, unhappy enough about having to hold a
pillow all morning before discovering he had to hold
hands with a yucky girl, too. Although the
photographer had to bribe them to pose together for
the wedding pictures, soon Jarrett was bringing
Jessie champagne glasses full of soda and they were
dancing the night away. Flying home, Jessie told
her grandmother she was going to marry Jarrett when
she grew up.
A
successful physician, Jarrett has come to Wisconsin
for a change, both in his life and his career.
Jessie is shocked to see him again. He tells Jessie
one of the reasons he came to Wisconsin was to find
her. Unwilling to be hurt again and unsure of his
motives, Jessie informs Jarrett he’d better not
expect to begin where they left off.
As
Jarrett opens up to her, Jessie falls in love with
him again. They share magical moments that remind
them of both what they had and what they let slip
away. Tiny expressions of caring, impetuous kisses
and undeniable attraction bring Jessie and Jarrett
full circle into each other's hearts.
The
question soon becomes: can Jessie find out what
happened to Jarrett to make him disappear from her
life, or will his past and the wagging tongues of
the town gossips keep them apart forever?
It will
take a medical emergency, a mad race to the hospital,
and the loss of Jessie's first patient in the ambulance
to prove to both Jessie and Jarrett that it’s time to
let go of the past, take hold of the present and walk
down the aisle again - this time for real.

Blue Diamond
Avalon Books
December 2000
ISBN: 0-8034-9443-2
When Kent McReynolds showed up on
Bethany Clarke's door, she knew it meant trouble. The
last thing she needed was to see the handsome fighter
pilot again.
Bethany Clark thought
she escaped the memories of the plane crash that shook
her world years earlier, but now those memories came
rushing back, making her want to slam the door on Kent's
handsome face.
Coming to see Beth again was the last thing Kent wanted
to do. He was fighting to save the Blue Eagles, the Air
Force's premier air demonstration team from a
Congresswoman's budget-cutting axe, as well as trying to
escape the memory of the same tragedy. He couldn't
accomplish either without Beth.
Both vow not to get involved beyond a professional
level, but the trouble is, the more time they spend
together the more they fall in love. Attraction soon
swirls around them like the exhaust from his F-16 and
their love explodes, threatening his career and her
peace of mind.
But they soon discover that through working together to
save the Blue Eagles, they are facing their best chance
for the most daring undertaking of all - a future
together.
