I'm starting life over in Dogwood Grove.

I left my rich husband and bought an old farmhouse with a wraparound porch, amazing views of the mountains, and only a twenty-minute walk from Dogwood Grove. It will be hard at first to be a stranger in a new town, but I have a solid plan: smile and make lots of friends.

And it was going great until my ex canceled all my credit cards. Now I'm broke, stuck with an old, rundown house, and all alone.

Until I meet Parker, a grumpy single dad who works in construction. It only takes a batting of my sad eyes and a strategically placed smile to convince him to help me fix my water heater.

But when I get to know the kind and generous man inside, another problem arises.

How do I show him that my interest is genuine and not just quid pro quo?

Jewels in September is a spicy, grumpy/sunshine, small-town romance with a heroine who is new in town and learns to pull herself up by her designer bootstraps, and the hero who wants to rescue her... but he'll have to take a good look at himself first to heal her heart.

The books in the A Year in Dogwood Grove series are short standalones with a guaranteed HEA. Perfect for a busy schedule. You get all the romance feels and small-town shenanigans in one sitting. You'll find a familiar face every time you come back and know that you're always home in Dogwood Grove.
