Book Description
Endorsement for Released, Book 1 ~ “A curmudgeonly ex-con senior citizen, a little girl named Bea, and her addict mother. An unlikely trio crosses paths on the road to redemption from their pasts in small town Nebraska—with a little help from above. With true-to-life grit and characters you love to love (and some you love to hate), RELEASED is a fresh slice of hope in a world of injured souls." —Tosca Lee, NYT bestselling author of Progeny In Released: Ex-con. Nobody cares ... except a tiny girl named Bea. Clarence was locked up in prison for sixty years. Now he’s free in a nursing home. Still imprisoned by his angry heart. He’s been set up. Bea’s mommy, Katty—brutally abused by a former boyfriend. She follows her family’s tradition for living and parenting. Until the boyfriend comes back for their daughter. In Rescued: A pool—sink hole, really—in small town Nebraska. It’s either a blessing or a curse, depending on the heart of the person who explores it. Ex-con Clarence and germaphobe Noell, are both being drawn to the pool. Clarence finds a yellowed newspaper article about it, stuck in his old law textbook. Noell stumbles across journals, documenting pool drownings back in 1937, in her vintage camper. Both dive in—or rather, Clarence falls in. Neither bargain for what they find. In Restored: Clarence is set up. Again. Just when he and Harold Dexter scheme to create an agency—Harold is the detective, and Clarence the put-em-away lawyer—Clarence is dragged away to prison ... again. This sets off a string of events: Katty digs through Clarence’s files to find a way to free him—only to be confronted with the shock of her life, and with Clarence out of the way, evil Phil has free access to Katty and his little girl, Bea. Noell has to face her own nightmares and the reality of her gift—or is it a curse? Buy the Collection to engage Clarence’s story now!

Charlie Dixon never had it easy. Growing up in a loveless home, she always yearned for love. She gave the saying “looking for love in all the wrong places” its meaning. Failed relationship after failed relationship lead Charlie to give up on love. That is, until someone special crashes into her life—literally. Charlie never expected to find love, but when she starts falling, her loyalties and mounting lies threaten to destroy her last chance. Will Charlie fight to finally be happy, or will the odds stay stacked against her? Emerson Dayle is finally coming into her own as a career woman. After a devastating divorce from her childhood love, Mason, Emerson has to pick up the pieces of her shattered life one shard at a time. With a newfound love of self, she swears off the days of sacrificing herself for the sake of a husband. As a new entrepreneur and wildly successful internet influencer, Emerson feels like she’s finally made it. But when a secret from her past and a new betrayal threaten everything she has worked for, her life quickly changes. Can Emerson keep all her scandals out of the limelight, or will everything she’s worked for fall apart right before her eyes? Mikayla King has a secret, and it’s big enough to bring her entire life crashing down. Her children, Kai and Zuri, are the only people keeping Mikayla grounded, until her relationship with her children is threatened too. Mikayla would rather continue suffering mental and physical abuse at the hands of her husband than go back to being poor and subject her children to the life she lived as a child. However, when Mikayla’s deepest secret is revealed, life as she knows it crumbles to pieces. It is not long before she turns to substances to ease her pain, just like her mother did. Can Mikayla overcome her demons to save her children, or will she see her worst fear realized and lose them?
