Summer After Summer

Summer has always meant Texas...and Charlie

In the summer of ’73, Jasmine and Charlie share a secret place by the river. Somewhere to laugh and dream on hot Texas nights. A place for making memories. For getting close... Then Jazzy’s girlfriend Bunny drops a bombshell that brings an end to teenage innocence—and the beginning of life without Charlie.

In the summer of ’93 and Jazzy’s got a rock on her finger and a successful architectural practice in California. Yet something’s missing. She bumps into Charlie at their high school reunion, and their feelings and shared memories are as powerful as ever. But before they can do anything about it, an urgent plea calls Jazzy away once more.

This summer... Her marriage over, Jaz heads for home again. For Texas. And for Charlie... This time, she knows it’s forever.

Georgia on His Mind

Shampoo, Rinse. . . And Fall In Love?

It seemed like an easy bet: All Washington lawyer Win Whittaker has to do is prove to his business partner that he can live the “simple life” in Magnolia Bluffs, Georgia, for one month. With no extra cash or credit cards, Win is forced to get a job. He might be a terrific lawyer, but his other skills are decidedly lacking. So he applies for the only job he can find – shampoo girl at Kenni McAllister’s salon, Permanently Yours.

Kenni is cautious around her handsome new employee, but she can’t help being attracted by his charm. The more time she spends with Win, the more she likes what she sees. Of course, Kenni doesn’t know about Win’s other life, his real life. But when a good friend of hers desperately needs a lawyer, Win’s deception is revealed.

Do a country girl and the city guy have a shot at love?

Win hopes so, because he’s got a lot more than Georgia on his mind!

Somewhere Down in Texas

The Barbecue Isn’t The Only Thing Heating Up!

Marci Hamilton loves her hometown of Port Serenity, but life’s been a little dull lately. So she enters a barbecue-sauce cook-off with her flamboyant sister, Sissy Aguirre. The events are held all over Texas and sponsored by country music superstar J.W. Watson. Marci’s heard of J.W. but she sure wouldn’t recognize him, so when her car breaks down on the way to the first cook-off and Marci gets some unexpected help from a handsome cowboy, she has no idea that “Johnny Walker” is none other than J.W. himself!

After a previous relationship disaster – with a guy featured on America’s Most Wanted – Marci is understandably cautious. But the battle against falling in love with Johnny is a losing one. This time around, Marci isn’t sure if she’s going to get burned or if she’s cooking up a Texas-size happy ending along with that award-winning barbecue sauce!

Zack is a big-city California detective who arrives in Magnolia Bluffs to investigate what's happening with his family's real estate development. That means dealing with Liza Henderson, a widow and one of the partners..and very much a Southern lady. But Liza's not your typical belle. She's wacky, passionate, charming, and unlike any woman Zack's ever met.

Although their initial meeting isn't love--or even like--at first sight, they're experiencing an incredible chemistry. Will the real estate riddle turn into the case of the California Copy and the southern widow?
