Her demand for a divorce blindsides Dane who, as an inner city high school principal, has become the target of increasingly dangerous attacks because of his stance as high principal. As she builds a new life, Susan feels freed except she still loves her husband. She searches for why their marriage fell apart and learns the answer lies in a secret which Dane is keeping to himself.

This is a story of love, reconciliation, the adult ramifications of childhood abuse, of groups determined to assert control, of education in the United States, and most importantly of the cost of standing up for what is right with the view that we can change lives. Adult romantic suspense set in Portland, Oregon. 'Second Chance' is set 8 years later and follows two of the characters from Moon Dust into a new romance set in the work of wildlife rehab.

Where Dreams Go is set in 1855's Oregon Territory where these new pioneers must learn skills needed to build a state. Building a new world isn't for the weak.

Not everything in life can be explained or planned. Sometimes the unexpected take people places they never intended to go. In Tucson Moon as Priscilla is looking for answers to the unexplained, Cord has only problems and he is going to have more. Tucson Moon is about love, family relationships, the desert, and Arizona Territory in 1886-87 with main characters who carry over from "Arizona Sunset". Marshall Cord O' Brian and Priscilla Wesley disliked each other in the first book. Martin Matthews seemed mostly weak but he had since continued to make choices that carried him deeper into decadence. He blames others for whatever has gone wrong in his life. Exploring how our characters evolved was part of my interest in writing this story. Cord has never trusted the outlaw, Sam, that Priscilla's friend Abbey married (ran off with), in-spite of or maybe because of the great similarities in the two men. Bad choices at the 'wishing well', bad timing in natural events and finding your own path play major roles in the joys and miseries of the characters all around.

In Arizona Territory, 1883, a woman's options were limited by her social status which Abigail Spenser resented. Despite her father's wishes, she planned to remain a spinster to avoid another man ruling her life-right up until she saw a way out. Was it safe? Who asks that question when an exciting option appears. Well maybe she should have. Sam Ryker had grown up in a brothel at the back of a saloon. He was tough, a gunslinger, and if not legally an outlaw in Arizona Territory, bordering right on it by rustling cattle south of the border to sell to rich Arizona ranchers. He didn't see any chance for more than a quick death-right up until an option was presented to him. One he maybe should have denied but that wasn't his way. So put these two combustible personalities together on Sam's ranch, with his gang, where life rode a precarious edge, and a marriage begun for all the wrong reasons couldn't possibly work-not when each sunset might be Sam's last. A logical woman wouldn't stay with such a man-would she? Arizona Sunset is an adult, western romance about how sometimes we do find a new way-when we follow our heart. 128,350 words
