What's In a Name?
What happens when you're running for the wrong reason? Kelli Carpenter is afraid someone will connect her to the self-defense killing of a former lover.
Handsome stranger Blake Windsor shows up purporting to be a handyman doing much needed repairs at the wilderness jobsite where Kelli is working. Kelli's instincts tell her to leave, but without him, the project won't be completed on time.
When someone comes after Kelli, she runs—but she takes Blake with her. Keep your friends close but your enemies closer is her philosophy. And Kelli is convinced Blake knows something that will link her to her lover's death, ending her life as she knows it.

Being robbed at gunpoint wasn't part of Sarah Tucker's business plan. Neither was falling in love with the detective who arrived to solve the case.
All Sarah wants is success for her gift boutique, the one she and her husband created. Now, she's living a hand-to-mouth existence. Her husband died a year earlier in a car accident — an accident that was ruled suicide, denying her his life insurance money. Burdened by guilt that she was somehow to blame for his death, Sarah faces one business setback after another. She's determined to succeed on her own, fending off a meddling sister-in-law as well as offers of financial assistance from a former boyfriend. Unaware someone is setting her up for failure, she's totally unprepared to find herself fighting for survival.
Police Detective Randy Detweiler thinks the crook is a thief who's been evading cops all over the state. A routine robbery investigation turns into the biggest challenge of his career when he falls in love with the victim and he starts crossing professional boundaries. When Sarah disappears, he's afraid all his detective skills might not be enough to find her in time to save her life.

Sarah’s husband died in a car accident a year ago, leaving Sarah alone to run the gift shop they founded. Ultimately, his death was considered a suicide and his life insurance payout withheld. Struggling to cope with the reality of his death, their shop in a financially precarious position, Sarah did not need the hassle she received from her former sister-in-law and an ex-boyfriend from high school.

Hidden Fire
Stand-alone sequel to Finding Sarah.
Returning from a stint as part of a task force on violent crime, Randy Detweiler is eager to reunite with Sarah Tucker, but she's having second thoughts about their relationship. Can she deal with a cop who gets called away at a moment's notice, especially one who won't talk about his job?
Their reunion is cut short when a body is discovered and rumors fly that it's the work of a serial killer. To make matters worse, the Town Council might disband their police department and Randy's under added pressure to solve the murder before they take action. Forced to work under the radar, Randy struggles to balance work with a shaky relationship.
Sarah can't cope with apparently meaning less to Randy than his job. Should she force him to choose between his job and the us she envisions for the two of them? All bets are off when Sarah becomes a suspect in Randy's case. Before long, it's more than their relationship that's in danger.
