His Heart Found Home2.jpg

He built an empire... but she built a home.

Rafe Montebon is a self-made oil magnate with power, wealth, and a private jet that rarely stays grounded. But when business forces him to the Arkansas wilderness, the last thing he expects is to fall for a fiercely independent woman with a stubborn streak and a heart big enough to heal his deepest wounds.

Samantha Greeley has spent her life building something real—on her land, with her hands, and on her terms. She doesn’t need help, and she certainly doesn’t need a man blowing into her life like a Texas storm. But Rafe isn’t just any man. He’s kind. He’s strong. And behind his city polish is a soul that’s quietly unraveling.

A whirlwind marriage. A shocking pregnancy. A love that’s tested by secrets, distance, and the ghosts of Rafe’s past.

Can a powerful man who’s never slowed down find peace in the arms of a woman who’s never run? Or will ambition cost him the only thing that truly matters?

His Heart Found Home is a tender, emotionally rich contemporary romance about second chances, the meaning of family, and the kind of love that refuses to give up.

THE PORCHLIGHT FILES

The Junk Sale Murders2.jpg

When small-town florist Shelley Harper hosts a yard sale to clear out clutter, she expects a few bargains and maybe some gossip—not a box of evidence linked to a decade-old crime.

At first, the items seem odd but harmless: a dusty apron, a flash drive, a photo taken from her own yard. But when a human skull turns up and a stranger with too many secrets steps out of the shadows, Shelley realizes someone planted more than junk—they planted a trap.

Now, the sale is shut down, her shop’s under watch, and her quiet life is unraveling. With a missing girl’s name resurfacing and the sheriff’s badge beginning to tarnish, Shelley must decide how far she’ll go to uncover the truth… and who she can trust when the killer may be someone she’s known all along.

A cozy mystery with a twist of menace, The Junk Sale Murders is a story of forgotten things, buried secrets, and the danger of underestimating a woman who notices everything.
