Series Blurb:
Love is worth the risk…
When their grandfather dies, the Lindquist sisters, Harper, Scarlet and Maggie, inherit the northern Minnesota fishing lodge that had been in their family for three generations. The inheritance is bittersweet. They were raised at the lodge by their grandparents. The natural beauty of the place hasn’t changed, but the building itself is crumbling and desperately in need of repair. The lodge also reminds them of what they lost. Twenty-two years previously, their parents died there in what was ruled a murder/suicide.
As the sisters struggle to breathe new life into the failing lodge, old fears and questions rise to the surface even as new love presents itself. Why did their father murder their mother? What truths did their grandparents keep from them? The sisters must fight to keep the wounds of the past from putting their futures, and their fledgling relationships, in jeopardy.
Lies and Solace - Book 1
Blurb for Lies and Solace:
She can’t live with one more lie. He can’t tell the truth.
Harper Lindquist is convinced she’s found the answer to her financial prayers. Unless she pours cash into crumbling Solace Lake Lodge, she’ll lose her family’s legacy. Her would-be savior arrives in the middle of a Minnesota blizzard and she’s determined to prove to her reluctant, and trapped, financier the lodge is a sound investment. But Harper isn’t completely honest with him. And she has no idea the lake is hiding secrets of its own.
Ethan James is a liar, but his money is very real. He isn’t convinced a broken-down inn is a smart investment opportunity. But the more he understands Harper’s dreams and desires, the more he wants to be the man to make them come true. The trauma in both their pasts means neither can fully trust the other. They must find the courage to love, to trust, and to accept, or yesterday’s sorrows will keep them apart.

Christmas at Solace Lake
Book 4
It’s Christmas time at Solace Lake Lodge, but a series of thefts threatens everyone’s holiday spirit.
An emergency
brings Drew Barnes to Solace Lake Lodge, an inn deep in the Minnesota woods
owned by his aunt and uncle. He’s sure desperation is the only reason they’d
allow him to fill in as their bookkeeper. No one in his family has believed in
him since his mistake got him fired from his previous job. Soon after he arrives, Drew is
disheartened to discover thefts and financial irregularities. The last thing he
wants is to be put in the middle of another crime.
Sous chef Celeste Bishop has made a good life for
herself and her nine-year-old daughter in the three years she’s worked, and
lived, at Solace Lake Lodge. After being unfairly fired, this was the only job
she could get, and she’s grateful her gamble on the lodge paid off. The only
sticking point is the isolation since she never learned to drive. How can she
show her daughter independence when she’s always relying on others?
Drew sees Celeste’s frustration and offers to teach
her to drive. A powerful attraction ignites between them, and soon deeper,
stronger emotions blossom. Drew is all in, but Celeste resists her feelings.
She’s nine years older than Drew. An interracial relationship didn’t work for
her parents. And loving Drew feels like a betrayal of her deceased husband.
As Christmas approaches, the thefts escalate. Can Drew
stop the thief and redeem himself in his family’s eyes—and his own? And can he convince Celeste they deserve
the gift of a happily ever after this Christmas?
