Women of Worthy

 Three stories of women who flourish in the small town of Worthy, Ohio where their lives intersect with one another. Each woman must battle their fears and unforgiveness at the expense of their families, friends, and the men who adore them to fulfill their greatest desires and destinies.


Book #1: Cassie's Secrets
Where secrets go, distrust follows. Can two lonely people let go of past hurt and learn to trust again?


Single mom, Cassie Verano, and her two young daughters move to small-town Worthy, Ohio to be near her brother and his family. She longs to raise her daughters without her ex-husband's family's controlling interference, and live in peace. When her daughters befriend two girls who are cared for by their matchmaking aunt, Cassie avoids it at all costs. It's the last thing she needs or wants after escaping a dangerous marriage.


Widowed business owner, Steve Nardelli, wants nothing more than to complete his huge Australian deal and expand his deceased father's electronics firm to secure his family's future. Though his wife died, their marriage was anything but happy. His sister's matchmaking only annoys him and adds to his guilt, especially when the lovely Cassie Verano seems to be hiding something-and he's not interested in anyone else's deceitful ways.


Can Cassie and Steve set aside their deep suspicions and guarded feelings to learn to trust again?


Book #2 Mia's Irishman
When real love comes calling as the storm rages on, are you brave enough to trust again?


Former fashion photographer, Mia Nardelli, returned home to Ohio to help her widowed brother and two nieces. But after years of living a quiet life and trying to put her past trauma behind her, she wants to get back to photography. When a trip into the West Virginia mountains to hone her skills leaves her injured in a ravine after an accident, she doesn't know if she'll ever work again-or even survive.
Veterinarian, Sean McDermott, is happy to seclude himself in his remote cabin to write a book about his profession. But even when he isn't away, he sticks to caring for animals and helping his brother on the family ranch. Besides, it's the best way to hide his physical facial scars from everyone else.


When Sean finds an unconscious woman on the bank of the creek, he must save her-even if it means opening his quiet life to a stranger who can't remember her name. Can Sean and Mia find happiness as they navigate her injuries, his guarded life, and the raging storm that has cut them off from the world?

Sparks fly in this opposites attract journey when a my way or the highway soldier collides with a determined woman on a mission to find her family.


When Kate Callahan finds letters her deceased mama never intended for her to find, her world is flipped upside down. She quits the job she loves and embarks on a journey to find her birth mother. Worthy, Ohio is the final stop before the trail runs cold and she gives up her quest.


Master Sergeant James Woodford comes home from war with haunting PTSD he thinks will never leave him. But when his cousin invites him to Worthy to work for her while he gets his feet under him, he accepts.


When James's computer talents are Kate's only hope, and her trained eye detects his simmering emotional stress, can these two learn to work together, even when their journey takes them from sleepy Worthy, Ohio, all the way to Ireland?? And maybe even fall in love


Sometimes the first person we need is the last person we expect.
