My new book baby is born!

Olivia Baker left behind her cheating boyfriend and her career as a pastry chef in one of the finest restaurants in Houston. Arriving in the quirky town of Crawdad Beach, Olivia is given the incredible gift of starting her own bakery and living a dream come true. Yet, gifts and blessings haven’t stopped Olivia’s anger at God or fixed her wounded heart.

Cybersecurity expert Marcus Patterson is grateful his job keeps him busy and out of trouble. However, his culinary incompetence puts him at risk when he hires the town’s new baker as his personal chef. Marcus knows how to stop a computer hacker, but he’s not sure he can handle the temptation Olivia brings.

Will their friendship cook up love or be a recipe for disaster?

Crystal’s Journey Home

Book 3 of the Crawdad Beach Series

Widowed for seven years, Crystal missed her family in Crawdad Beach, but she wouldn’t leave her twenty-three-year-old daughter, and Olivia probably wouldn’t leave Texas. Yet, Crystal’s life continued to bring unwelcome changes. Her neighborhood had gone downhill, her friends had moved, and she had been laid off from her job. Crystal was torn; the old hometown was calling to her, but could she let go and trust God for whatever came next on her journey?

Eric Reed lived in Crawdad Beach all of his life and had no desire to leave. He loved his job and the town, but his wife died two years ago, his daughters were away in college, and his life was getting lonelier every day. The thought of dating again terrified him. Maybe he just needed a dog.

Sometimes letting go is the only way to move forward.
