Hearts of the South series
Available now in e-book. Coming in print January 2009.

Public Defender Autry Holton is in a "shunned if she does, disbarred if she doesn't" position -- charged with defending a former cop and accused serial killer. To complicate matters, she’s pregnant and hasn’t told the father.

Sheriff Stanton Reed never believed he was the right man for Autry. He’s already raised one family and suffered a failed marriage. When an attempted break-in at Autry’s home highlights the real danger she faces, all he can think of is protecting her. Before long, all he can focus on is how much he loves her and wants both her and their child in his life.

However, an act of home-grown terrorism threatens not only the couple’s newfound happiness, but their lives as well.
