So, here are the eight books in this series:
Book 1
Philadelphia, 1776
As whispers of revolution turn swell into a roar for freedom, Lucy Carlson is no longer content to simply watch from behind the counter of her father’s jewelry shop. When a mysterious woman—none other than Martha Washington—leaves behind a locket, Lucy discovers the piece is more than a pretty keepsake. The necklace is a secret vessel for the revolution that carries the promise of love.
Drawn into a dangerous spy ring, Lucy begins crafting coded messages concealed within the locket’s clever design, living a secret double life and risking everything she holds dear in a time of sacrifice and war.
Continental soldier Branch Barton is a man defined by duty. Tasked with rooting out traitors, he moves through the shadowed world of deception and divided loyalties. He’s trained to trust no one, yet he finds himself drawn into a slow-burning connection with the jeweler’s spirited daughter.
But when Lucy begins to suspect Branch may be a Redcoat in disguise, their fragile bond is tested by mistaken identity, growing mistrust, and the threat of betrayal.
In a war where even allies can become enemies, Lucy and Branch must navigate a world of hidden truths and guarded hearts. With the fate of the colonies—and their hearts—hanging in the balance as Lucy delivers a message in enemy territory, will they find the courage to trust each other and choose love?
Book 2
Two hearts. Two worlds. Can love be the key to free the woman he loves?
Saratoga, 1777
Nineteen year old Indentured Servant, Abagail Densbury, is running for her life. Accused of stealing a necklace she didn’t take, and facing a beating that could claim her life, she has no choice but to take this one chance to run away, especially when Mr. Wilson, the proprietor of the Saratoga Inn, has told her “to get.” But Abagail has spent her life on the city streets of London, and she is a stranger to the forests of New York. Still, she might have survived on her own, if only Miss Stockenridge hadn’t sent the hounds after her.
Twenty-four year old Skenandoah is an Oneida Indian and a scout for the Patriots. When Mr. Wilson asks Skenan to help a girl to survive through the forests and to reach Fort Stanwix, Skenan doesn’t hesitate to act. What he didn’t count on is that the girl, though dressed in rags, is as beautiful as she is sweet and brave.
Closeness on the trail unites their hearts. But, when a coded message is found in a locket in Abagail’s apron, both Skenan and Abagail know they must reach Fort Stanwix as quickly as possible, even though it means they will be forced to part—she back to her world and he to his.
But, since the Patriots are fighting to throw off the chains of the English Father, is there a way Shenan can make them see that the woman he loves should be free, too?
Book 3
In a house filled with British officers, colonial spies, and dangerous secrets, falling in love may be the most reckless act of all.
Long Island, 1778
Anna Turner serves quietly at Pembrooke House, hiding her patriot loyalties beneath the careful routine of a household maid. But when cheerful messenger Nathaniel Reed begins delivering private correspondence to the British captain residing there, Anna becomes convinced he’s the enemy.
Nate, however, is hiding secrets of his own.
As two rival spy rings unknowingly move information through the same household, suspicion turns to uneasy partnership—and then something far more dangerous. Because in a city where spies are hanged in the streets, one wrong move could condemn them both.
And surrendering her heart to Nate Reed may prove deadlier than war itself.
Book 4
A traitor in the Continental Army. A raid that could end Virginia’s government. And one woman willing to risk everything for love.
Charlottesville, 1780
Anna Randolph has always believed women are capable of more than society allows. The daughter of a prominent military supplier in Revolutionary Virginia, she manages her father’s correspondence and longs to contribute meaningfully to the cause of independence. When she meets Major James Coleman at Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello, she’s drawn to the self-made officer who sees her as an equal—but in the uncertain spring of 1781, with war raging through Virginia, falling in love feels like both a gift and a gamble.
Major James Coleman earned his rank through merit, not birth. A Scots-Irish officer from the Shenandoah Valley, he’s gathering intelligence for the Marquis de Lafayette while avoiding romantic entanglements—his dangerous work is no life for a family man. But Anna Randolph is unlike any woman he’s ever known: intelligent, passionate, and brave. For the first time, James allows himself to imagine a future beyond the war. Until a routine visit to the Albemarle Barracks uncovers a deadly conspiracy threatening both Jefferson and the cause itself.
When whispered treason reveals plans for a devastating raid on Charlottesville and James is left for dead by a jealous rival, Anna must become the courier he never meant to send into danger. Racing thirty miles through enemy territory to reach Lafayette’s camp, she carries intelligence that could save Jefferson and alter the course of the war. In a world where women are meant to wait and worry, Anna Randolph will ride into the heart of danger to prove that sometimes the most perilous mission requires not just courage, but love.
Book 5
North and South. Yankee and Rebel. Union and Confederate.
In the midst of the Civil War, can two hearts come together?
Roswell, 1863
When the tide of war sweeps south and the Union Army invades and destroys the Georgia cotton mill where Kate Brodie is a nurse, not only is her livelihood destroyed but she’s branded a traitor and shipped northward with the other workers. Only the unlikely attention of a Yankee major makes the trip tolerable.
Union major, Griffin Fletcher loathes the part of his job that requires him to destroy homes, towns, and livelihoods of innocent civilians. But he’s sworn to uphold the Union at all costs. Yet, he vows to protect these women he’s been ordered to transport to Marietta. Especially the one whose fiery determination, proud stance, and soft heart draws him closer.
Determined to remain in the South, Kate makes a daring leap of faith to nurse wounded Yankee soldiers, never expecting Major Fletcher to be one of her patients. Along with his healing, they each faced the fears and prejudices that had brought them together.
With survival so tenuous, can faith help them find love in the midst of so much tragedy?
Book 6
She’s fighting to honor the past. He’s haunted by it.
Hawthorn, 1876
As Hawthorn, Texas, prepares for a grand celebration honoring America’s centennial and the town’s own fifty-year history, schoolteacher and archivist Mercy Owens is determined to see that every act of sacrifice and service is properly remembered. So when one local veteran refuses to take part in the festivities, she cannot simply let the matter rest.
Livery stable owner Wilson Porter has spent years quietly rebuilding his life after the Civil War left him carrying wounds no one can see. Respected by the town but haunted by the past, he wants no public recognition—especially not from a committee determined to call him a hero.
But as Mercy’s research draws her deeper into Wilson’s history, and a series of shared journeys begins to chip away at the walls between them, both must confront long-held beliefs about honor, sacrifice, and worth. Because sometimes the bravest thing a person can do is allow themselves to be truly seen.
Book 7
She’s lived with his name for three years. He’s never known hers. Until they meet.
Halsey, 1955
Jackie Sinclair is good at what she does–flying airplanes during the Korean War. But when she makes a mistake that will haunt her forever, she’s determined to build a new life of peace and freedom in Nebraska. Except she comes face-to-face with Beckett J. Archer, the soldier she had failed so terribly, and her hopes for a new future threaten to fall apart.
Beck has returned to heal at the one place that means more to him than anything else–his father’s ranch. The memories of war have left their mark, but the brave and beautiful woman who lands in his life–literally–stirs up feelings he never expects, especially when an old family legacy threatens to drive them apart.
As trouble closes in from every side, Beck and Jackie are drawn together by danger, duty, and a growing love neither of them can deny.
Book 8
Holiday, OR, Modern Day
Grady Guthry understands the weight of a promise. Years after returning from the Army to help his widowed sister and young nephew rebuild their lives, he’s created a solid life in Holiday, Oregon. With a thriving construction business and deep roots in his small town, Grady’s world is steady, dependable, and safe—just the way he needs it. The last thing he’s looking for is change, especially not in the form of the town’s new, temporary postmaster.
Kate Barton has always followed the horizon. An Air Force veteran who thrives on freedom and fresh starts, she moves from one assignment to the next, never staying long enough to put down roots. But when she arrives in Holiday, she carries more than just her bags. A cherished locket left behind by her father draws her into a legacy she never knew existed—and begins to stir a longing she can’t quite ignore.
As Holiday prepares for the celebration of America’s 250th anniversary, an unexpected friendship between Grady and Kate deepens into an undeniable slow-burn romance. Grady offers Kate a sense of home she’s never known, while she reminds him there’s more to life than duty.
But with Kate’s departure date looming, the independence they’ve both fought to claim may become the very thing that keeps them apart.
In a season of healing, hope, and second chances, will they find the courage to let go of their plans—and choose a future together?
You’re gonna love these books from Petticoats & Patriots.
But wait I have some more news: Because I recently signed on with OHB Publishing (a small press publisher), I have four titles of my backlist newly edited and reissued, and there are some truly beautiful covers and so, if you’ll bear with me, I’ll show those covers below. A word about this series: it is a solid Historical Romance but with a paranormal element. Each hero in these four books is charged with a task of ending a centuries old curse. Each hero in the books must free his band of the tribe from the curse. Many before him have failed to free his people. Will he, too, fail?
Okay, so here’s the covers:
Book #1:
The Angel and the Warrior
Book #2
The Spirit of the Wolf
Book #3:
Red Hawk’s Woman
Book #4
The Last Warrior
Book #4
The Last Warrior

Next Tuesday, July 14th, is release day for “Her Rebel Heart,” Book 5 in the Petticoats & Patriots series. Based on a true event, I’m excited to bring you Kate and Griffin’s story.
North and South. Yankee and Rebel. Union and Confederate.
In the midst of the Civil War, can two hearts come together?
When the tide of war sweeps south and the Union Army invades and destroys the Georgia cotton mill where Kate Brodie is a nurse, not only is her livelihood destroyed but she’s branded a traitor and shipped northward with the other workers.

The Cowboy’s Last Rodeo is free for a limited time!
Shane Marvell’s career as a rodeo rider is ending far too soon. He doesn’t have a plan B, so during his last season, he’s all in, determined to win as much prize money as possible–even if it means riding injured and taking more risks than he should.
Ella Etxeberri has always played it safe, so when her life still takes a bad turn despite her caution, she wonders if it isn’t time to see what she’s been missing. While researching risk behaviors in rodeo riders, she meets Shane Marvell, a cowboy who merits additional study of the personal variety.
Just as Ella is hitting the point to embrace risk, Shane is pulling back. He knows Ella’s all-in approach is born of curiosity and whim. He’s not what she wants forever, and perhaps Ella is one risk he can’t allow himself to take. (Please note, this story has language and a little heat.)
I have two new patriotic books I’m excited to share with you.
The first is A Patriot’s Promise — a collection of four full-length wholesome romances.
From the battlefields of World War I France to the uncertainty of a top-secret World War II mission, from a cowboy veteran returning to the ranch he loves to a former Tomb Guard searching for peace in a mountain town, A Patriot’s Promise gathers four full-length wholesome romances filled with faith in the future, tenderness, sacrifice, and the enduring power of love.
? In Sadie, a gifted doctor finally sets out on the grand adventure she has always dreamed of when America enters the Great War. But as the wounded arrive in endless numbers, Sadie Thorsen faces the greatest test of her heart when the man she has loved for years is reported missing in action. Across war-torn France, Harley John Hobbs clings to one hope — seeing Sadie again.
? In Home of Her Heart, Sergeant Klayne Campbell volunteers for a dangerous World War II mission knowing he may never return. With no family to remember him, he offers spirited Delaney Danvers a marriage of convenience, hoping to leave behind someone who will know he mattered. But one night as her husband gives Klayne something far more powerful than a name on a beneficiary form — a reason to fight his way home.
? In The Cowboy’s Summer Love, Travis Thompson returns from military service to the Triple T Ranch, restless, wild-hearted, and determined to outrun the memories that followed him home. Tess Morgan has loved him for years, but convincing Travis she is more than his best friend’s sister may be her biggest challenge yet. As summer works its magic, two hearts may finally discover they belong together.
? In Lake Bride, Bridger Holt’s life has been shaped by duty, discipline, and the twenty-one steps he walked as a sentinel guarding the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Unsure what comes next, he retreats to a mountain cabin in Holiday, Oregon, where a sunshine-hearted nurse, a cast of quirky townsfolk, and a few persistent animals might help him find hope, healing, and a future worth embracing.
Heartwarming, hopeful, and rich with the love of country, family, and home, A Patriot’s Promise is a moving collection of four sweet romances celebrating brave hearts, second chances, and the kind of love that stands strong through every season.
Available at Amazon in eBook format, or through your Kindle Unlimited subscription!
The second book is a rhyming read-aloud picture book for children called Theo and the Day the Bells Rang.
Eight-year-old Theo Carlson thinks it is just another summer day in Philadelphia. He wakes with a stretch and a yawn, pulls on his stockings, buckles his shoes, and hurries off to finish his chores. There are vegetables to water, eggs to gather, and plenty of little wonders waiting to catch his attention along the way.
But before long, Theo realizes this is no ordinary day.
Crowds begin gathering near the Pennsylvania State House. Bells ring through the city, excitement fills the cobblestone streets, and everyone seems to be waiting for something important to happen. Walking with his mother and his older sister, Lucy, Theo follows the sound of the bells and the joyful stir of the crowd. With a wooden bandalore toy in his pocket, a lost puppy in his arms, and a heart full of questions, Theo finds himself standing in the middle of a moment that will change America forever.
On July 8, 1776, Colonel John Nixon steps before the people of Philadelphia and reads the Declaration of Independence aloud for all to hear. As Theo listens, he begins to understand the courage of the Patriots, the hope of a new nation, and the precious meaning of freedom.
Theo and the Day the Bells Rang is a heartwarming patriotic picture book that introduces young children to an important moment in American history through the joyful eyes of a child. With gentle storytelling, charming historical details, and a spirit of freedom, this story brings early America to life for little listeners and early readers alike.
Perfect for families, classrooms, homeschool studies, patriotic holidays, America’s 250th birthday celebrations, and children who love history, adventure, and stories filled with heart.
Help the young readers in your life celebrate 250 years of liberty and learning with this engaging journey back to the day the bells rang in Philadelphia and freedom began to shine.

I’m riding in to share this brand new release! It’s the next to last in my historical romance series taking place in Red Ridge, but each book stands alone on it’s own just fine too!
Gus Malone has spent years watching younger folks find their happy endings while his own heart stayed silent. He’s loved Glinda Stover from afar for longer than he cares to admit, but what does an aging cowboy with calloused hands and an empty wallet have to offer a woman like her? He can barely choke out a “good morning.” Asking her to take a moonlit walk is far beyond him.
Glinda Stover is a woman who built her own life, nail by nail, and pretended she never needed a soul. Then a stranger rides into Red Ridge with a claim that could destroy everything she’s worked for. Too old to start over, Glinda faces an impossible choice, especially when a piece of her heart is here, and belongs to a man who’ll never know.
As Gus and Glinda try to stop the stranger, their race against time turns into something neither expected. But when the dust settles and the truth comes out, will Gus finally find the courage to speak what’s been locked in his heart for years? Or will fear of losing her keep him silent forever? And if he can’t say it, will she? Find it here to buy or read on Kindle Unlimited!

I’m thrilled to share I have a new wholesome western romance releasing this week!
Widower Jason Price isn’t looking for romance. As a trusted pickup man for the Rockin’ K Rodeo Company, part-owner of his family’s ranch, and a proud grandpa, his days—and his heart—are already full. Love is for younger folks with fewer scars and more time.
Photographer Lainey Collins traded corporate life for the open road, capturing the faces and stories of everyday people. Living out of her travel van, she’s built a life of freedom, purpose, and just enough distance to keep her heart safe.
But when a chance meeting at a rodeo puts her in Jason’s orbit, everything begins to shift.
As Lainey sets out to create a book featuring the faces of the rodeo, she finds herself returning again and again—to the arena… and to Jason. What begins as a project turns into something deeper as sparks fly, laughter comes easy, and two guarded hearts start to open.
Falling in love is one thing.
But trusting it—and daring to build a future—is another.
Can a cowboy who’s learned to live without love and a woman who’s always kept moving finally find a place to belong… together?
Coming June 4!

PROUD MAMA ALERT! I am so excited to let y’all know that my daughter Jessica just graduated from the Oklahoma City University School of Law two weeks ago on May 16th!
Jessica had a whole other career/life happening when COVID hit and completely shut down the acting/casting agencies (including the one she worked for here in OKC) back in 2020 or so. She went back to school and received her psychology degree, and then was offered a full ride scholarship to the OCU School of Law.
It has been a very tough time the last three years for her, with having to work AND go to school full time, but she made it and we are just so proud of her. Here are a few pictures of her graduation day!
Jessica and me outside the graduation venue there on campus, just after it was over–(Mama sure looks tired…) LOL
Family picture outside the graduation venue on campus–my d-i-l Kayla, daughter Jessica, husband Gary, me, and son Casey. Such a joyful day for all of us! Just wanted to share with my P&P family here! YEEEEEE-HAWWWWW!

I got some fun news last week. My second ever Harlequin book about a cowboy veterinarian and woman construction company owner/former trick rider called “The Family Plan” was reissued, along with two other authors, in a German trade book edition. My book was retitled “Mein Herz will zurtick zu dir” – which translates to “My Heart Wants to go Back to You”.

I’m happy to announce that IF SHE WERE MINE has hit the #1 spot for Indigenous Romance four different times this past week. Normally selling at $5.99, it is currently on sale at a 40% discount at $3.59.
This is a forbidden love story—forbidden by both sets of parents–which begs the question: will the hero and heroine get a second chance at love? Set in the 1870’s, this sensual love story is sprinkled with paranormal, Native American style. But, if you love the old west as it was lived and loved by the First Americans, you’re going to love this story.
