Something is burning in Hill Country Ridge.

And this time… it’s personal.

I’m beyond excited (and a little emotional) to announce that The Rise of Raven Strickland, Book One in my new Hill Country Shadows Series, is coming soon.

This isn’t just another small-town romance.

It’s fire.

 It’s fallout.

 It’s a woman fighting to reclaim her life in a town that never forgets — and rarely forgives.

🌾 About the Story

Raven Strickland knows what it means to be judged.

A single mother with a past the town won’t let her forget, Raven has spent years trying to rebuild her life quietly. But when a calculated threat turns her world upside down, quiet survival isn’t enough anymore.

Enter Riley Thompson — the protective sheriff who’s determined to keep her safe… even if it costs him everything.

As danger tightens its grip and secrets surface, Raven must decide:

Will she keep running from the ashes of her past?

 Or will she rise from them?
