When Whip Poor Wills Cry
​
An overheard conversation! A lethal secret! A disturbed mind!
Everyone has secrets. But sometimes what we hide is revealed and the piper must always be paid.
A beautiful Spring morning in 1846 finds artist Tylar Brandt strolling down a gardenia-scented river path. She has no idea that in less than ten minutes the chatterbox of a girl skipping in front of her will be dead, and she will be left with a future worse than death.
Knocked unconscious, bound, tossed into a dinghy, pushed into the swampy river for vultures to clean her bones, Tylar must survive snakes falling from trees, gators ramming the boat, and devastating heat. Her only hope: the mercy of runaways living deep in the watery swampland.

Tenants-in-Common
Twenty-nine-year old Carolina Moncrief, a photojournalist, is badly injured in a boating accident while on assignment. Believing her mother paid her health insurance premiums while Carolina is away, she finds her policy has lapsed.
Injured and burdened with bills she cannot pay, she ends up on the charity of an uncle who resents her presence at his inn.
​
Out-of-the blue, she is told her grandfather, a man she never knew, died and she has inherited half of his estate, a plantation outside Charleston, South Carolina, the other half bequeathed to his step-son.
​
The Will does not specify who owns what of the inheritance, leaving the two battling attraction for each other, while going head-to-head over who gets to do what with the plantation home.
