Hometown Series

Caleb Ransom accepted his life sentence to wander from town to town without a family or a home. Even though he was wrongly accused of murder and released, suspicion hangs over him like a bank of rain clouds. Only Brooklyn sees the man he truly is, and he falls hard for her.

But someone in Candlewood Falls has different plans for these two and will stop at nothing until Caleb disappears. As long as they are together, lives are at stake. They will have to find the person determined to destroy them before it’s too late or lose the thing they have wanted all along – deep rooted love.

The prom queen has fallen off her throne and returns to Candlewood Falls with her tail between her legs. When Lyra Ryan starts a cleaning business because she doesn't want to be a therapist anymore, the only person willing to hire her is the arrogant Brad Wilde. 

Thrown together by chance, or maybe fate, Lyra and Brad must help each other follow their hearts and learn that love shows up when you're least prepared to handle it.  

Ember Wilde returns to Candlewood Falls to reconcile her life. Recently divorced, she quits her banal job and decides the timing is good to care for her ailing mother. Only her parents don’t want her help.

Raf Alvarez built a respectable life although the odds were stacked against him. When his world epically turns on its head, he isn’t prepared. Falling for Ember Wilde surprises him most of all because her family will never accept him and his family’s questionable history.

Ember isn’t interested in any man at the moment—especially not one with strong opinions and who works at her father’s orchard. But sometimes the heart knows better.

Ember and Raf will have to fight for their chance at a future filled with love and purpose, or allow the past to steal the destiny they deserve.
