Mountain Due

Storme Knight longs for a baby of her own. Is she desperate enough to take Sunny’s—her twin and one-time rival for her husband’s heart—offer to become her surrogate seriously?

Although Storme Knight is a newlywed, she dearly wants to have their first child sooner rather than later. She’s stood on her head—literally—to become pregnant. But despite using no birth control, how well she eats, rests, and makes love, her attempts fail.

Craig Knight wants a child someday. With COVID-19 still raging, the purchase of his own law firm, and virtually no money in their bank account, having a baby isn’t his first priority. He thinks a baby will come with time and is in no particular hurry to take on any additional expenses.

Storme feels differently and will do anything to get pregnant. When Sunny, with her wacky plans, offers to help, how can a desperate Storme refuse? What could possibly go wrong?

Mountain Holly

It’s one thing for Storme Weathers to slip and fall on Craig Knight’s walkway. It’s a different story when he takes care of her—in his home. In such close confines, what’s an independent girl supposed to do? Hobble away on a crutch or hold onto him for dear life?

Feisty Storme Weathers is good with spreadsheets and crunching numbers, but with men—not so much. Case in point, hunky Craig Knight, her childhood crush. She thought she’d reeled him in hook, line, and sinker, but when a case of mistaken identity involving her identical twin almost succeeded in seducing him, she can’t trust him—or her heart. Luckily, he caught his mistake before he swallowed the bait, but the damage was done, leaving her heart as frosty as the Smoky Mountain mists.

It’s Christmas and Storme is busy with work and preparing for the holidays when she is summoned to Craig’s home office. Wearing her signature stiletto boots, she falls and injures herself on the icy walkway to Craig’s house. While carolers are singing, Storme lays screaming. She reluctantly accepts Craig’s offer to recuperate in his hilltop home.

Craig swears he can prove his love for her with his round-the-clock attention. Mad at himself for falling victim to Storme’s twin’s ploy, he vows to heal the heart he broke.

Can the magic of the season coupled with his loving care prove his fidelity and love? Can she accept his challenge to put happiness and his love on her Christmas list or face another new year alone?


 Mountain Christmas

With Skye in Scotland, Storme in Michigan, and Sunny in Tennessee, it didn’t look likely that they would even be together, let alone, home for Christmas. Not even the magic of Christmas can make that happen. For that, they need a Christmas miracle.
Is that miracle in the hands of a stranger named Gabriel? Are a man called Luke and another named Craig, not to mention Jesse—someone for whom Sunny admits she may have more than the hots—part of the miracle? Can these men help the sisters find some peace on Earth and feel goodwill in their childhood home at their lodge in the Smoky Mountains, or will it be a blue Christmas
