English Toffee #recipe

Another Recipe Friday is upon us :) How about some English Toffee? I have the feeling this snack would win over a courter very easily. Just don't try it on someone you know you don't have interest in.

1 t vanilla

Put first four ingredients in heavy-duty sauce pan and cook, stirring constantly. After 3 minutes, add almonds. Cook until col...

The Bishop's First Bride by Rayanna Jamison

Rayanna Jamison was kind enough to come over to my blog today to showcase her newest book The Bishop's First Bride.
Excerpt:
~~~
“I…Do you believe in domestic discipline, Luke?”
“Well, this is kind of heavy conversation for the beginning of our first date, but since you asked, I do. I am a major proponent for domestic discipline and what it can do for a marriage. Is that a problem?”
“I….No, it’s just...”  Rosa trailed off. She could literally feel her face turning purple. She hated that it di...

Another snippet from Courted by Fall, Book Two of In Hyacinth. Takes off from where last week's left us. Cami is having a bit of a hard time.


~~~~~
As it was, Cami was thinking she didn’t want to be sucked into staying in Hyacinth. Surely there was a huge world out there she could explore. Xander went away to college and law school and now he and Kathy were probably gone for good. “Mom?” she asked quietly, but Charlotte hadn...

Cover reveal for Courted by Fall

Very excited to reveal the cover for Courted by Fall, Book Two of the In Hyacinth series.

Courted by Fall

Camille Covington thought she had it all: the perfect life, the perfect future, and the perfect suitor; until it went downhill just days before her 18th birthday. Now struggling to pick up the pieces, she did everything she could to not let anyone know just how depressed she’d become. She did such a good job that she fooled even herself.
Newcomer to Hyacinth, Jerod Kinsley, offered friendshi...

Courted by Discipline
Book One, In Hyacinth

When Kathy Bretherton moved to Hyacinth at the age of eighteen, she looked forward to living amongst people who believed in traditional values like her family did. She did not expect to become part of the Hyacinth Courting pool and the object of interest of every man looking for a wife.

Alexander Covington was the most eligible bachelor in town and he wanted her. For Kathy, who grew up in a traditional household where the man was the head of the home and her and her mother a committed homemaker, falling in love with him was relatively easy. Following his lead and accepting his discipline was the life-changing part.

About the series In Hyacinth:

Hyacinth, Washington is all about traditional values. In Hyacinth; its residents live their lives by discipline; there is a strong male head of house; and words like trust, honor, and kindness aren't just buzzwords. Each story in the series is of a young woman (18-20) and her struggle to figure out who she is in this little town while at the same time going through Hyacinth's old-fashioned courting system. On their way to meet, get to know, and finally marry their princes, these heroines grow in ways they and their town never expected.
