Devon Evans likes his life. He is an architect, a builder, and his daily routine is simple. He has a wonderful family, friends, and a job he loves. He has everything figured out... or has he? Catherine Masterson wants to build a house in the foothills of California. As a lawyer, she has the money to build it just the way she wants it. Her plan isn't predictable, but original, and it will take some special attention. Devon isn't above giving intense support to an important project. But as they build the house, he begins to wonder if it is the design that is interesting him so much, or the woman who wants it built. Starting with friendship, their relationship evolves through simple challenges through lifechanging accidents. Will what they have built together be able to survive the challenges of life?
Miles Evans has had the same goal since he received his law degree and passed the bar: District Attorney. But he's one of those rare lawyers who demands truth, justice, and honesty. Sadly, the courts don't always value those same things. Still, he plays the game, and one piece of that is showing up to the parties and fund raisers where he can connect with the "right people." If only he had someone nice, intelligent, and interesting to take with him. Autumn Connor is a physical therapist who does personal training on the side. When the gorgeous lawyer at her gym asks here to join him for some occasions he's dreading, she considers it a no-brainer. After all, he's sweet, considerate, and just a little old fashioned... not a blood-sucking lawyer at all. As time goes on, Autumn wonders if there could be more than friendship between them. Miles, too, thinks that Autumn might just be a big part of his future. A simple romance becomes more difficult against the background of injustice and unfairness. Real life is more than parties: It's arguments, accidents, and keeping love alive when the world around them seems to be falling apart. Can old fashioned hearts survive in the current world we live in?

I believe in Happily Ever After!
I have spent my life traveling, and along the way I was sometimes lonely. I found books to be stories with places that were always the same and people who became constant friends.
It is my goal to provide stories with believable, complex characters that can become familiar friends, and with settings that find their place in your heart... and always be certain that my stories will lead to Happily Ever After.
