A marriage on the rocks. A homeless hound. Can they get a Christmas miracle?

Tori and Luke Sutton’s first year of marriage has been far from the idea of wedded bliss that the two of them envisioned. Luke’s job as a civilian with the US Navy, and the constant travel schedule that has come with it, has put a strain on their relationship. As the holidays approach, Tori is feeling the stresses of the last year and Luke’s absence.

Luke is struggling with the pressure from not only his job, but his family as well. He’s determined to achieve success, something that has been drilled into him his whole life, but will it come at too high a cost?

One fateful night on a back country road has the potential to change Luke and Tori’s lives and their relationship. A down-on-his-luck Coonhound is in need of a family and a safe place to call home. Tori is immediately smitten with the hound, though Luke is skeptical. Despite Luke’s reservations, the hound is determined to be a part of their lives and the dog might just be the key to bringing Luke and Tori their own Christmas miracle.

Now Available: Heart of Hope

If she isn’t the top rider at River Green farm, who is she?

Hooves & Hearts Book 2

Horses have been Isabel Martin’s whole life. As the daughter of top show jumping trainer Rodger Martin, she’s been expected to be a champion for as long as she can remember. But lately, she can barely get around a course without feeling sick to her stomach and she’s earning more last places than blue ribbons.

With an abysmal summer show season, Isabel has more questions than answers about her future, and on top of that, her beloved mare, Cadence, is dealing with more lameness issues than Isabel can count. Rodger wants her to get rid of the mare and focus her attention on her career, but Isabel does something even worse. Not only does she keep Cadence, she takes on another down-on-his-luck jumper, Kaspar. She’s hopeful that with a little time and patience, she can get Kaspar performing again, but the young horse has other ideas.

The training program at River Green leaves Isabel with nothing but dead ends when it comes to helping Kaspar and Cadence, and she finds herself feeling more and more desperate. Selling the horses isn’t an option, so she turns to outside help instead, despite Rodger’s disapproval. And that outside help includes bringing in local equine veterinarian, Derrick Thompson. Isabel is desperate for him to help her horses, but she might get more than she bargained for. Derrick might be just as good at healing broken hearts as he is at healing horses. And when Isabel finds herself the target of a personal vendetta, she discovers she needs Derrick more than she ever imagined.

Meet The Horses In Heart of Hope

With the release of Heart of Hope just 1 month away, I wanted to pop on the blog today and share a little about the horses you’ll see on the page in Heart of Hope. As with the other books in the Hooves & Hearts Series, the horses are very much at the center of the story, and many of them have been inspired for the many, many horses I’ve been so lucky to have spent time around over the years.

First up is Isabel’s Dutch Warmblood mare, Cadence. Cadence is the first horse Isabel had actually owned, despite riding for her father, Rodger Martin, for years. Mares often get a bad reputation in the horse world for being difficult, something that Rodger definitely believes in, but Isabel knows that Cadence is a kindhearted and good-natured mare, so when Cadence starts acting difficult and out of character, Isabel isn’t willing to brush it off.

The second horse Isabel finds herself the owner of is Kaspar, a quirky young warmblood that’s come to River Green Farm for training. Kaspar is a pinto Dutch Warmblood and while pinto coloring isn’t super common in warmbloods, it does exist! I loosely based Kaspar’s appearance off of the beautiful Dutch Warmblood stallion, Art Deco, who stood at stud in Virginia for many years. Kaspar isn’t an easy horse to handle and somehow always seems to find new ways to get into trouble, but Isabel is determined to do the best she can for the young horse- even when things take some tough turns over the course of the story.

The third horse at River Green Farm who finds his way into Isabel’s life in Knight Errant. For readers who have read By Heart & By Soul, your might remember Isabel riding Knight in a clinic at Haven Hills Equestrian Center. In Heart of Hope, Knight is a good bit older and when his owner finds herself in the middle of some significant life changes, she ends up putting Knight up for sale. After having grown up riding Knight and being pretty bonded with him, Isabel makes the choice to step in and purchase Knight herself- something Rodger doesn’t agree with.

Last but not least is Esperanza! If you’ve read the previous books in the series, Esperanza will also be a familiar equine face. This sweet older Paint Horse mare is back to fill her role of helping Meg help her human clients. With Isabel’s riding burn-out, Meg challenges her to try some new things, and Esperanza is there to help Isabel on that part of her journey.

From The Desk- 10/23/2025

Popping in today with your end of the month writing update! This month has been a busy month around other health things, but I’m so excited to be inching closer to Heart of Hope’s release date.

This month I have been busy getting Heart of Hope ready for release! Which has included final proofing, print proofs, and formatting. ARC Team Sign Ups are currently open (you can sign up by clicking here) and ARCs are scheduled to go out on November 1st. I always loved when I start getting print proofs, there’s just something that’s so fun about holding your book in your hands, and I am absolutely in love with the print cover for Heart of Hope.

I have also started dabbling a bit in what will be the next Hooves & Heart’s book. Right now I’m very much in the beginning stages, so I’m largely focusing on plotting, character backstory, and some writing here and there. I’ll have more about the next book in the series for your closer to the end of this year/beginning of next year, but there will be more books in the Hooves & Hearts Series, and I can’t wait to share them with y’all.

On the fantasy front, with the publishing process slowly wrapping up with Heart of Hope, I’ve diving back into the Tales of Kelnore. The next book in the series, The Deceiver, is drafted, and I’m currently beginning to go through the manuscript again with a fine tooth comb, focusing on self-editing and self-revisions. I’m still not spending quite as much time on the manuscript as I am on Heart of Hope, but I’m really enjoying getting back into it. My goal is to have my self-edits & revisions done by the end of this year so I can get the manuscript off to my editorial team and stay on track for a 2026 release.

At the beginning of the month, I had started reading A Sense of Danger by Jennifer Estep (urban fantasy romance). I’ve finished that and it was a super fun read! I’m definitely looking forward to getting my hands on the rest of the series. I’ve currently started reading The Star-Crossed Empire by Maya Darjan (sci-fi romance) and Traitor’s Knot by Cryssa Bazos (historical fiction).

This month’s book deals are almost over, so be sure to take advantage of them while you can!

The Betrayer: Tales of Pern Coen (Legacy #1) is $0.99 through October 31st
The Princess: Tales of Kelnore (Royals #1) is $2.99 through October 31st
