She’s hiding from a past that could get her killed…
He’s building a future he never thought he’d have.
Gleason Pennington has finally found solid ground.
With a new home rising, a second chance at life, and the family he’s always needed, everything is falling into place—exactly the way it should.
Until she walks into his world.
Hailey Sheppard is running—quietly, carefully, and always one step ahead. After a violent night that left bodies behind and questions with no answers, she’s learned to survive by staying invisible. Trusting no one has kept her alive.
But Gleason sees her.
And worse… he refuses to look away.
As whispers of the truth behind the Golden Sheep grow louder and danger circles closer, Hailey’s carefully built disguise begins to crack. The closer she gets to Gleason, the more she risks—not just her safety, but the guarded heart she swore no one would ever touch.
Because some men offer protection…
And some offer something far more dangerous:
A reason to stop running.
In a town full of secrets, trusting the wrong person could cost her everything—
But trusting the right one might save her.

Kinsey Pennington never planned to take on the family farm alone, but duty doesn’t wait for perfect timing. With a broken-down truck, a failing water heater, and his brothers scattered between odd jobs and burnout, Kinsey’s barely keeping things afloat. Until a chance encounter with a precocious little girl at the bank kicks off a chain of events that changes everything, including his future.
Meggie Gold doesn’t do small towns, and she certainly doesn’t do farmers. But when rumors of a shady land deal reach her office, she heads to rural Ohio to protect her grandmother’s promise—and runs straight into Kinsey. What starts as business quickly turns personal, and Meggie finds herself drawn to the quiet strength behind Kinsey’s stubborn pride.
As secrets surface and futures hang in the balance, Kinsey and Meggie must decide if love can grow where roots run deep—or if it’s time to let go and start again.
Heartfelt, witty, and full of slow-burn charm, Kinsey is a story of love, legacy, and the courage to choose your own path.
Wylie Pennington never expected to become a millionaire overnight—or to find himself searching for a forever home instead of the life he thought he wanted. After selling off the family land, Wylie is learning how to navigate wealth, independence, and a future that suddenly feels wide open… and a little lonely.
Rosie Donaldson has always known exactly who she is. As the town’s police chief, she keeps the peace, handles rumors, and holds her community together—just as she has since she was a girl quietly in love with one of the Pennington boys. What she never expected was for Wylie to finally see her as more than a childhood friend.
When a long-delayed first date turns into something deeper, sparks fly fast. Between family obligations, small-town scrutiny, and two people learning how to trust happiness, Wylie and Rosie must decide if taking a chance on love is worth the risk.
Tender, passionate, and filled with heartfelt moments, Wylie is a story about second looks, lifelong crushes, and discovering that sometimes the love you’ve been waiting for has been right in front of you all along.
