Wynter Series

Faith Fitzgerald thought that if she got an education and became a high-powered attorney in Manhattan, maybe she'd gain the attention and respect of her absentee father. What she dreamed would be glamorous and satisfying turned out to be grueling and thankless. Deciding she is done, Faith packs up and leaves New York and heads home to Colorado. On the drive home, she finds herself in Wynter, a tiny mountain town at the foot of the Rockies. When she tries her luck and buys a raffle ticket at Pop’s, Wynter’s charming café, her prize is far more than meets the eye - or the heart.

A victim of a massive corporate downsize, Liberty Faulkner suddenly finds herself without a job, without a home, and without a plan. Though certainly not part of her vision, Libby decides that the familiar is the safest path back to her life goals. In this case, the devil she knows is home: the tiny mountain town of Wynter, Colorado, a close-knit place where everybody knows everybody and everybody’s business. Seems like the perfect place for the 25-year-old to start over and figure out who she is without being noticed…not.

In 1890, 17-year-old Justice Kilkoyne and her mother, Ninny, are one bad decision away from living on the streets of Azrael, Pennsylvania.

Determined to find a better life, Justice saves every penny to get a train west to California. Before they can leave, the bigotry of one shopkeeper sends Justice on the run, chased by the police for a crime she didn't commit, and straight into the unwitting arms of a stunning young prostitute.
