Coming in 2012
Heart of Honor (Book 1 — Now available)
Abigail Locke resents having to leave the fort at New Echota and travel to Raleigh, but she has no choice. A dishonorably discharged officer guides the travelers, and Abby has no choice about that either. Learning to not take things at face value, she suspects there is more to Nathaniel Danfield than her father has told her.
Nathaniel must endure the stigma of dishonor that has been placed on him knowing he acted in good conscience, but Abigail only knows what she’s been told. He could tell her about the events leading to his court-martial, but true conviction comes from seeing proof, and he’d rather show her the kind of man he is.
Harvest of Hope (Book 2 — Coming Soon in 2012)
Colton Danfield abhors slavery. He and his employee—a freed slave—work together to harvest a crop and raise sheep on a small farm in view of the north Georgia mountains. But the mountain vistas pale in comparison to Auralie Covington’s beauty.
Auralie has been promised to Perry Bolden, the son of a wealthy plantation owner whose political connections with her father have resulted in an arranged marriage for her. How can she marry a man she barely knows? She prays for God’s intervention. If she had the privilege of choosing for herself, she’d rather have a man like Colton, but they are from two different worlds.
Harbinger of Healing (Book 3 —Coming Soon in 2012)
Charity Galbraith harbors deep resentment toward the rebels who captured and perhaps killed her father, a Union officer, during the War of Southern Rebellion.

Dale Covington can’t erase the images in his mind af the devastation after the War of Northern Aggression. Everything that defined his life—his land, his home, and his wife—all are gone. With the arrival of a Yankee woman asking a lot of nosy questions, must he relive the horror?
