Publisher: Solander Press

A.J. had always dreamed of being a cowboy on his family's Oklahoma farm. Without a horse, he felt like something was missing. How could he care for the animals and help with the farm work without a trusty steed?

One afternoon, A.J. returned home from school to find a surprise waiting for him in the barn - a beautiful little horse named Lady Star. She was now his to ride and care for. From that day on, A.J. spent all his free time learning how to ride Lady Star and caring for her. He dreamed of being skilled enough to ride alongside his grandfather, father, and Jon, the farm hand, during the cattle roundups.

Award-winning author Sherry Roberts weaves a heartfelt story about growing up in the 1930s and 1940s. Based on the tales passed down by her father, Just Call Me Pardner is a must-read for history lovers and those who enjoy stories of the American West.

In Oak Hollow, every recipe comes with a dash of mystery...

Temperance Matthews thought opening her dream bakery in Oak Hollow—with her mini dachshund, Hank, at her heels—would be a sweet start to her new life. Instead, her shop goes up in flames, and a body is found among the ashes.

When her quiet assistant Louise shows up bruised, with twigs in her hair, and missing a shoe, Temperance’s data-analysis skills from her FBI days suddenly feel like the only hope of untangling the mystery. But the plot thickens: Jonah, the bakery’s former owner, is stabbed while trying to reach Temperance. The frosting on the cake? Louise’s boyfriend is the victim of the fire. Surveillance footage shows him entering through a locked back door—yet only three keys exist, and Louise doesn’t have one.

With threats mounting and the police closing in on a suspect, Temperance must follow a trail of half-baked clues before the real culprit turns her cozy little town into a crime scene… and who becomes the next target.

Just Desserts and Murder is book 1 in the exciting new Little Bakery Cozy Mystery Series featuring Temperance Matthews. Each book can be read as a standalone.

Blurb: 

He’s sixty-two. She’s twenty-three. Is it just a love affair or could it be forever?

Landry had always imagined at the age of sixty-two that he would be rocking his grandchildren and enjoying a life of retirement.

Life has a funny way of disrupting your plans, and Landry just hired a twenty-three-year-old single mother as his assistant who seems to do just that… stand in the way of his plans.

He’s raised his three children to adulthood. He’s supposed to be settled down. However, he can’t seem to get Tennessee Bradley out of his head.

She consumes his every waking thought.

She’s too young for him.

Far too young.

Except, she’s everything he thought that he could never have in a partner. She’s soft, gentle, caring, and kind.

Is it just a fantasy, or could she be his future?

Daisy Adair has always been my dream girl. From when we were best friends in high school to finding her now.

A gorgeous mother who shows up on my property with three kids in tow.

Our future—bright, hopeful, and almost within reach—hovers on the edge of becoming real…

Now I’m fighting to save her and her children before our second chance at forever is burned to the ground…

Who knew the wolf I saved would be my fated mate?

When I found an injured wolf outside the Witches' Brew, I couldn't leave him to suffer alone. Taking him home, I nursed him back to health. Little did I know he was actually a wolf shifter, investigating a series of unusual activities happening outside of Pleasant Grove.

I thought I was done with romance, but as I get to know the man behind the wolf, my heart slowly starts to open again. The looks of longing and the sizzling connection between us can't be denied, and the longer he stays with me, the more I start hoping for things I know I shouldn't.

Only Barrett is keeping secrets of his own, threatening everything I've ever known. But when the truth is revealed, what happens when it all comes crashing down on both of us?

A spicy witch x wolf shifter, only one bed, paranormal romance from bestselling author Jennifer Chipman.

Bewitchingly Hers is the third book in the international bestselling series, The Witches of Pleasant Grove. While this book is a standalone, it is highly recommended that you listen to the series in order for your best enjoyment.
