Welcome! Let me invite you to step back in time with me through the enchantment of historical fiction. Whether digging into the lives of biblical women or creating godly heroines on the Texas frontier, I love to share stories that feature characters of faith—stories that exemplify the power of God's love and his ability to create new blessings from the tragedies in our lives.

It is my prayer that through these romantic tales, you will be drawn into a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ, the Rose of Sharon, and the lover of your soul.

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him,
so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
~ Romans 15:13 ~
