Victoria McLeod has a full and happy life. After retiring from teaching high school history, Vicky stays busy volunteering with the Historical Society, is active in the Mountain Town community, and loves socializing with friends.
Vicky often feels lonely and wonders if she missed out not having a family of her own. She craves companionship, closeness and intimacy with a special someone, but gave up on finding him a long time ago.
To her surprise, a perfect match rides into her life, and offers her a fresh start and chance to heal from heartache. Before romance can bloom, they both must confront the past and embrace a brighter future together.
Victoria’s story speaks to the heart’s resilience and the possibility of finding love and happiness later in life.

Mountain Town: Lula
Right now, Lula really needs a friend, not an enemy.
As if starting a new job and mourning her grandma’s death isn’t stressful enough, the Bar C Ranch Cook seems to have it out for Lula. Juan criticizes her work, accuses her of stealing, and calls her names in Spanish- which he knows she doesn’t understand despite their shared Mexican heritage.
Lula and Juan struggle to find common ground on the ranch. Meanwhile, Lula struggles with loneliness and depression as she grieves her grandmother.
This is Part One. Mountain Town: Lula, Part Two published September 15, 2025.

Mountain Town: Travis
Travis is a nice guy: approachable, a good listener, has strong morals, and is so ready for a committed relationship when feisty farrier Lacy Doyle shows up at the Bar C ranch.
Travis isn’t the only one with eyes for Lacy. Cocky cowboy Jake proposes a challenge to see who can get the girl.
Jake pulls out all the stops, gaslighting, emotional blackmail, using flattery, triangulation and withholding information to manipulate others. Meanwhile, Travis does every “nice” thing he can think of. He shows up for Lacy in ways Jake won’t. And it doesn’t seem to get him anywhere.
Travis’s story is about being the underdog in a world where bullies regularly win.
This is Part One. Part Two published August 15, 2025.
