Sometimes, two weeks can seem like a year...
Police Sergeant Jim Sanders has been appointed the Acting Police Chief while his boss takes a vacation in Montana. Jim thinks two weeks will be a breeze, crime isn't a big thing in the small town of Bradford, Pennsylvania.
Was it an accident? Maybe suicide? Or could it have been something more sinister? John Crocker was not a well-liked man. He smoked too much, drank too much, and gambled too much. But even he had a family and they deserved to know the truth.
Small town Klondike, up the hill from Bradford, suddenly sees a spike in vandalism. Cabins ransacked, cars trashed - who is responsible? Summer tourist kids or someone more evil?

When a retreat becomes a nightmare...
When Cherie Marshall catches her fiancé and best friend in a compromising position, she cancels her upcoming wedding and jumps at the chance to escape to quiet Klondike, Pennsylvania to care for her elderly aunt.

As they both become acquainted with the close-knit Klondike residents, things get complicated as Cherie and Jazz find themselves in the middle of a local crime wave where arson, kidnapping, embezzlement and a decades-old murder are just the tip of the iceberg.

[short story] Sarah is barely making it as a divorced, single mom in Chicago when her parents offer her a chance to move back to her rural hometown of Baxter Springs, Kansas. She looks forward getting back to a simpler lifestyle but her eight year old son, Brian, thinks differently.
Sarah wonders if she made the right decision when Brian goes missing. Should they have stayed in the city where she knew the dangers?

Synopsis: Now that Sarah and Brian have decided to stay in Baxter Springs, they have to forget some of their big city ways that might set them apart from new hometown. No city buses, no big movie cinemas, no street lights and no 911 service. Sarah worries that Brian will grow bored and get into trouble but she has her own worries, like finding a job to support them. There isn't much call for more waitresses in a town with one diner and a coffee shop. How will she support them so they can stay here in her home town?
Then there is the hunky sheriff who's also new to town, Carl Pierce, who seems to be quite interested in learning more about Sarah and her son.
A contemporary romance for everyone to enjoy.
