As Jack and Kerrigan work to turn the band around, they struggle to overcome the secrets that have kept them apart. Just when they’re coming together, on both fronts, other forces conspire to keep them from reaching their goals. Will they be able to put the past behind them and clear the way for their future?

Rocky Creek is a small town in the mountains of southwest Virginia, much like the town where I grew up. This series is about what happens to Rocky Creek's inhabitants as they deal with life's problems and find love along the way. My characters live in the contemporary world and deal with real life issues, but they all come back to their roots of the traditional small town values of loyalty, honesty, and family. I hope you have as much fun reading them as I have writing them!
