It’s Always Been You
Retired Sergent Major Seth Roberts returns to Summerville to begin the next chapter of his life. To do that, he needs to find out why his girlfriend married another man more than twenty years ago while he served in the Persian Gulf. Their high school reunion is the perfect place to confront Elyse Jordan.
Determined to be a strong role model for her daughters, Professor of Feminist Theory Elyse Jordan never talks about the loss of her only love twenty years ago. Caring for her mother during cancer treatment brings Elyse back to Summerville, the one place she avoided after Seth’s death. When an invitation to her twenty-fifth reunion arrives, she decides to go and reconnect with lost friends. She never imagines she’ll come face-to-face with Seth instead.
Can Seth and Elyse find the thread of love that bound them together or will past tragedies and misunderstandings keep them apart?
A Country Kitchen Christmas
Sometimes love comes one recipe at a time.
Penelope Anders can’t cook, yet she writes the very successful Country Kitchen Cooking blog for the Southern Cooking Channel. Everything is going fine until she’s informed that the new CEO ran a contest giving one lucky winner the opportunity to spend Christmas with her at the Anders Farm in Crater’s Corners, Tennessee. But there is one big problem. Penelope doesn’t own the Anders Farm anymore. Derek Smythe does. And she still hasn’t forgiven him for buying the place.
Derek Smythe needs a new roof and a new septic system at the farm so he can sell the place and move on with his life. When the producer for the Southern Cooking Channel shows up wanting Penelope Anders to return to the farm to fulfill a contest he believes his prayer has been answered and agrees for the price of the repairs. The producer calls his bluff and agrees.
Derek isn’t sure he is ready for Penelope to walk back into his life, neither is he prepared for the possibility of her walking out again, because this time she may take his heart with her.
