Sweetwater Canyon

Balancing a career and a relationship is never easy, and it's even harder when you are on the road and everyone wants a piece of you. As a music major who sacrificed everything to become master of the upright bass, the last thing Michele Scott thought she'd be doing is touring with an Americana and Bluegrass band. But to tell the truth, she loves it. Not so much David Blackstone. Even though he's irresistible, the thought of balancing her career, life on the road, and a long-distance relationship isn't for her. Her music gives her life, yet her heart yearns for something more. A girl just can't have it all...or can she? Trusting David is a risk that may give her everything she wants or it will close her heart forever.

Forgiving yourself is the first step, but helping others forgive may be just too hard. Each note Rachel Cullen plays on her violin comes straight from the heart. But life isn't easy. A Scottish immigrant to America, she embraced the Celtic and Bluegrass communities. Unfortunately, divorce, rape and distrust leave her emotionally crippled. Can Noel Karshaw, an English teacher and poet with a young daughter, be the key to help her reconcile who she is, what she wants, and how to get there? It takes both music and words to make a love song. With Noel by her side, Rachel has a chance to be part of the family she's always wanted-a chance to make love strong.

A Thanksgiving Novella Is faith and forgiveness enough to make a family of four survive and thrive? After Sarah's horrific ordeal with Amanda, all she wanted was to be in Tom's arms forever. But her road to rehabilitation is a difficult one, both physically and mentally. She pushes herself hard to return to the Sweetwater Canyon band, to be a good mother to the Davidson boys, and to maintain her faith. When it looks like the wedding is off, Connor and Grady put together a plan to get the family they've always wanted. A Thanksgiving Day wedding, with all of Broken Bow in attendance is in jeopardy. Can the boys get the bride to show up?

Christmas Courage - A Christmas Novelette A week before Christmas, Kat's father turns up on their doorstep and wants to be a part of her life. As far as Theresa is concerned, when Doug walked out fifteen years ago, leaving her with a two-year-old child and a mountain of debt, he forfeited all claims to Kat's life. He does not get to waltz in like Santa Claus and re-claim her. Kat needs more than courage to navigate this Christmas season. She needs a miracle.

Sweetwater Canyon Book 6 — A New Year's Novelette The Sweetwater Canyon musicians celebrate Hogmanay (New Year's Eve) in Scotland with Rachel's father, Gavin Cullen.
