FIREFLY SUMMER: a PB&J Novel

Sessa is falling in love with kind, gentle Trey Brown, a doctor who cannot hold a scalpel. When she discovers the reason---Trey used a scalpel to kill Sessa’s son in self-defense—can she forgive him? 


Welcome to Sugar Pine, Texas, where there is one red light, one taxicab, and one grieving mama left wondering why the Lord didn’t grab hold of her prodigal son before it was too late. When Sessa Chambers’ son is murdered during a robbery, she is left with a baby to raise and a decision to make: could she accept a dream job restoring carousel horses for the Smithsonian, manage the ranch on Firefly Lane, and take care of a little one? The ladies of the Pies, Books & Jesus Book Club think so, and they’ll do whatever Sessa needs to help—even if that means hunting for a husband for her.  If only she would cooperate!

Former rodeo star turned Houston surgeon Trey Brown is haunted by the night he killed a teenager with the same hands he uses to hold a scalpel. Forgiveness is his only hope for ending the nightmare that chases him, even though the State of Texas declared his actions self-defense, so he seeks out his victim’s only living relative, his mother. Ranch owner Sessa Chambers is not at all what he expects. Her presence is more jolting than any eight-second bronc ride from his rodeo days, and the only thing he wants to do is get to know her better. She’s mistaken him for the hired help, and he’s fine with that. Until he finds a way to admit he killed her son, Trey will work off the guilt that has imprisoned him.

In tiny Sugar Pine, everyone knows everyone else’s business and most of them know the others’ secret pie recipes as well. When the ladies of the Pies, Books & Jesus Book Club decide to matchmake, will the stubborn artist with the history of disastrous dates be convinced to cooperate in their schemes? 


AUTUMN LEAVES: a PB&J Novella

Autumn is good at one thing: leaving …until she meets the one man who wants her to stick around. 

When Galveston bounty hunter Nate Donahue is hired to find Skye “Autumn” Hudson, it’s just another job. Until this shop girl, who lives on the other side of his duplex, challenges his commitment to keep things strictly professional. A challenge he must overcome. After all, he’s being paid to spy on her—not care about her. No matter how tempted he may be. 

Skye has secrets of her own in the form of a little girl named Pansie who is being raised by her grandmother Sessa Brown in Sugar Pine, Texas. She’s always left any relationship before it could go anywhere. She’s certainly never trusted someone the way she trusts Nate. He’s so kind, so helpful. Can it be possible? Has the girl who always runs finally found a safe place to stay? And what will the woman who has been raising Autumn’s child do when she discovers Skye just may be coming home to claim Pansie?


THE YES DARE: A PB&J Novel


Have you ever wished for a second chance to fix something you’ve messed up or for the courage to say yes to something that just may change your life? Sometimes saying yes to the last thing you want can mean saying yes to exactly what you need.


Ryan “The Rocket” Sutton’s winning streak is legendary makes him the undisputed best quarterback in the NFL. However, thanks to one dumb mistake, he’s a failure as a husband to Coco, the only woman he’s ever loved. When a judge’s mistake in divorce paperwork means Coco is still his wife, Ryan makes up his mind to fix what he ruined. 

Ryan’s game plan doesn’t count on an internationally famous movie director’s camera crew following him as he competes for Coco’s love.  

After spending most of her adult life as a football wife and mother to twin sons, fashionista Coco Sutton is learning how to be single and fabulous. Emphasis on Fabulous. The sports trophies, memorabilia, and heavy masculine wood furniture in the home she used to share with Ryan have been banished to the attic, and her home is now a cozy haven of plush candle-scented comfort. She’s got big plans that include owning a boutique or maybe an art gallery, but she never planned to take on the biggest challenge of her life: staying single. Then her best friend gives her a copy of a book called The Yes Dare, and all her plans are turned upside down.

From a Hollywood movie to the local spring event formerly known as the Cow Chip Toss Festival and a country crooner with a crush on Coco, and the Rocket has plenty of obstacles to dodge on in order to win back his wife. Meanwhile, Coco isn’t making things easy for the man who could have just about any other woman he wanted...
