When her phone rang, Diane Macklin wondered what her sister wanted now.  Then, she heard that their mother was in the Emergency Room with a heart problem.

The doctor tending to her mother was Dr. Joe Adams, who was far from Diane's idea of the family doctor.  He had been alone since his first wife had died, and was apparently heaven-sent as a mate for Diane, if she could only get past the trauma of her previous near-miss at the altar.

The heart problem was hard to solve initially, the subsequent difficulty turned out to be murder, and affected the lives of both Diane and Joe.



“…a sweet, fast-paced story of love, growth, and murder told
from the point of view of two traumatized individuals who
are attracted to one another but find it difficult to
overcome their pasts.”

               SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT  
 The colored lights on the snow gave it a holiday appearance, but the dead woman’s body in the yard added a grisly touch. How did Ina Bell Patrick die? Who killed her? And why?
 
The dead woman had no direct heirs, so two nephews and a niece stood to inherit. Dr. Laura Morris was left to make all the arrangements, attorney Roger Morris could certainly use the money, and Zack Morris had disappeared two years earlier. Then there was neighbor and “best friend” Fay Autrey, who was certain the woman intended to leave her some money—a great deal of money.
     The police were still looking for the killer who left the frozen body in the snow when it became apparent someone was trying to pick off the heirs, one by one.
   
  Who would win the race—the police or the killer?

                      DOCTOR’S DILEMMA
Young surgeon Tyler Gentry thought the offer to join the Hall Group of surgeons offered the answer to his problems, but things changed when he received a 3 AM phone call that told him such a move would be hazardous to his health.
Dr. Tyler Gentry had it all planned out, but the death of his parents in a plane crash changed everything. When he discovered his father had left him a mountain of debt, piled on top of his own student debt, the offer from Dr. William Hall to join his group of surgeons seemed a perfect solution. But the night before he was to start, Tyler received a call that told him to get out while he could.
Despite the salary and perks, Tyler found a curtain of mystery surrounding the surgical group. The only thing that made it worthwhile was the lovely operating room nurse, Ashley Wynn, with whom Tyler seemed to make an instant connection. But when their first date ended with his car exploding while she watched, Ashley seemed hesitant to continue their relationship.
The stakes continued to rise while Tyler was faced with his dilemma: stay or go?

KILLER OR TARGET?

The relationship between Dr. Kelly Irving and her husband, attorney Jack Harbaugh, has cooled recently, but she figures they’ll muddle through and repair it.
But when she backs down her driveway, her car hits a bump that turns out to be the partially snow-covered body of a man her husband recently represented. Not only that, the gun that killed him belongs to Jack, who seems to be the primary suspect.
 As events escalate, Kelly can’t decide if her husband is a murderer or the next victim. Eventually, they put their marital differences aside and find the person masterminding the syndicate behind all this, while trying to keep Jack alive.

                   BITTER PILL

“Brother” Bob Bannister is content with his life and his itinerant healing ministry, until one night he finds that the woman who walks off the stage under her own power isn’t one of his shills.  At that point, doubts begin to intrude on his previously untroubled existence
               Dr. Abby Davis is tired of her family practice and at odds with God.  Dealing with critically ill and dying patients has crushed her spirit to the point she’s ready to quit.  But she soon realizes that there’s more to healing than ministering to the physical body. 
               Scott Anderson was the oldest graduate of his seminary class.  Then again, most of the graduates hadn’t turned away from a medical practice, hoping to atone for past mistakes (including his wife’s death).  Now he hopes he hasn’t made a colossal mistake in switching careers.
               Each of these individuals becomes linked to the other, and each finds that God has a purpose for them—but, as it often does, the lesson comes with discomfort.
