Beach House Memories
(Book Six in the Angel Series)
Veterinarian Yvette Hepler thought she had closed the door on her ex-husband Tate after his betrayal shattered their marriage. Co-parenting their children is a constant tug-of-war, with Tate playing the fun parent while Yvette shoulders the responsibility. But when Tate suffers a tragic accident, Yvette finds herself at his side once more. Against her better judgment, she opens her home—and her heart—to the man who once broke it. As they rediscover each other, old wounds begin to heal, and Yvette dares to believe in second chances. But with Tate's lover still in the picture and shocking secrets revealed, can they have a future together?
Meanwhile, Brooke and Dillon McGregor begin their married life sooner than planned, exchanging vows in front of family and friends. With a baby on the way and Dillon’s past as a guardian angel behind him, they settle into a loft at Carson Farm—only to discover that Dillon’s human life carries dangerous baggage. A ruthless gun dealer resurfaces, forcing Dillon into secret exchanges under threats against Brooke and their family. Can Brooke and Dillon escape the past in order to build their future?
Two couples. Two battles with the past. One question: can love survive when secrets and danger refuse to stay buried?
About Me
I grew up in Johnson City, Tennessee, and studied at East Tennessee State University before marrying my high‑school sweetheart and settling in Virginia Beach, Virginia. My love of writing began in college after discovering a pair of Southern Heritage cookbooks filled with images of historic plantation homes. Inspired, I spent afternoons in my backyard, typing on a manual typewriter at a picnic table beneath towering maple trees.
After moving to Virginia Beach, my passion for storytelling deepened as I explored the beautifully restored homes of Williamsburg and the historic plantations along the James River. Today, I work in records at my local Sheriff’s Office while continuing to write on the side. I published my first novel, Wellington Cross, in December 2012 and have embraced the freedom and creativity that come with self‑publishing. My novel Sunrise Kisses was honored as a finalist in the 2018 Golden Quill Award Contest sponsored by Golden Box Books Publishing.
When I’m not writing, I love spending time outdoors—visiting historic homes and gardens, reading, traveling, gardening, walking, practicing yoga, and enjoying time with family and friends. After 35 wonderful years, I’m still happily married to my sweetheart, and we share one son who now lives in sunny Florida and two lovable Havanese puppies.

My Books
I’ve always loved writing about romance. To me, the most powerful stories are rooted in love and relationships, so that’s where my heart naturally goes when I write. I currently have three book series, each offering its own window into the worlds and characters I adore.
The Wellington Cross Series unfolds in the late 1800s on plantations along Virginia’s James River, setting the foundation for the Wellington family’s legacy. My second historical collection, the Wellington Patriot Series, serves as a prequel, taking readers back to the late 1700s during the American Revolution. These stories explore love, bravery, and the origins of the Wellington estate as the first generation fights for both freedom and a future. My third series, the Angel Series, shifts to modern‑day Virginia Beach, where angels walk among humans and influence their lives in unexpected, heartfelt ways.
I’ve lived in Virginia Beach for 37 years, and this beautiful coastal area continues to inspire me. With miles of beaches, rolling sand dunes, scenic trails, and countless waterways—the ocean, the bay, rivers, canals, and lakes—it’s a place rich with atmosphere. Nearby Colonial Williamsburg and the James River plantations sparked my passion for historical fiction. Touring these historic homes helps me imagine the lives once lived there, and those visions often become the stories I write.
All of my books are available on Kindle through Amazon, as well as in paperback through Amazon and Barnes & Noble (by order). Amazon also offers a special perk: when you purchase the paperback, the Kindle edition is FREE. I hope you enjoy reading these stories as much as I’ve loved creating them.
