My world was shattered…

My foster mother Lucia’s brutal murder almost broke me, but I have to pull myself together and be strong for my sisters, Nell and Vivi.

Lucia saved us from an ugly fate. We’d have been lost without her, but now we were lost again; this time in secrets, lies and clues, but no answers. When Lucia’s killer attacks me, Liam, the brawny building contractor Lucia had hired for her house renovation, swoops in and saves my ass. It’s the worst possible moment to notice how rock-solid that guy is, not to mention brave. And gorgeous. But my enemies could hurt him. He should keep his distance.

Welcome to Lost Creek Texas, a small town deep in the heart of the Texas Hill Country, where people come seeking new opportunities and a chance to reinvent themselves—and maybe even find love.

A man emotionally closed off from the world. A woman starting a new life. Two individuals who have suffered tragedies— and now have a second chance at love…

Trouble follows the Garcia sisters, and this time a close family friend is in the hot seat. After Emily Ruiz Sanchez is killed in a shootout with police during a bank robbery in El Paso, Dr. Kate Garcia gets a call from a Houston lawyer. Seems the woman has left her sizeable inheritance to Kate and family friend, Benny Yates, who runs the Mission of Hope, a soup kitchen for the down and out citizens of Vineyard. The problem is—the Emily they knew lived on the streets of Vineyard and died of a drug overdose three months before.
