    About this series

    An unlikely friendship, a weathered family barn, and the quilt that wove them together...

     

    It's winter, and Liesel Hart needs a project. Single and over the hill, she's more likely to turn to the convent than to find a date for the Christmas tree lighting. But when her friend's daughter reaches out with questions about Liesel's favorite passtime, she sees a chance to reinvent herself... until a family secret comes knocking like the Ghost of Christmas Past.

     

    Gretchen Engel has a simple dream: open a craft store. But then her ex-boyfriend comes home for Christmas, bringing a winter storm with him. Now Gretchen is stuck in the Hickory Grove Inn with her ex and a Christmas shopping list a mile long... how can she pull off a business plan if she can hardly manage the holidays?

     

    Becky, Fern, and Maggie, and Greta are close friends and happy locals, and their cherubic children are starring in this year's Nativity play. But a critical prop is missing... and the show can't go on without it.

     

    Will the group of six find the time to patch together a cozy friendship? Or will they run out of hot cocoa first?

     

    Take a trip to the heart of America and fall in love with Hickory Grove's quirky residents who work hard, enjoy the simple life, and always put love first. Each title is a standalone read.

With her son ready to go off to college, it's finally time for the hardworking single mom to do what she wants to do. And as far as she's concerned, there's only one place to go for a fresh start and a little me time: home. She's sure that if she goes back to her hometown, everything will fall into place. So, she does…and it doesn't. Her grandfather is sick, job opportunities are nonexistent, and Zack Durbin, the ex-boyfriend she never really got over, is still in town.

Or are some foundations simply broken beyond repair?

      A desperate hairdresser. Her handsome friend. And a farmhouse full of secrets.  When Maggie Devereux is served an unexpected eviction notice, everything falls apart. Out of options, the nearly divorced hairdresser packs her valuables and drags her children to the local boarding house. Then, she stumbles across an unopened letter regarding her late aunt's estate: a ramshackle farmhouse on the outskirts of town. It could be the perfect solution, if it weren't on the verge of collapse and teeming with complicated family secrets. Property investor Rhett Houston needs a fresh start. So when he bumps into his old friend, Maggie, who's looking for help with a project, he jumps right in. Soon, Rhett finds himself growing close to the hardworking family, and he realizes he's at a crossroads: stay in the city where he's made a life, or move home to Hickory Grove to help Maggie for good. His choice would be easy, if she weren't still married.  Can friends become more under the right circumstances? The Farmhouse is a romantic, small-town women's fiction set in charming Hickory Grove.
