The Garden down the Beach

Her gardening business needs more clients.

Shiloh Boyd lives two miles down the beach on Sandbrooke Island, Washington, in his grandparents’ house. He’s tasked to return the property's garden to what it once was, in honor of his late grandmother. The view of Puget Sound from the baby grand piano inspires him as he creates calming, soft-voiced audio clips for use in reels.

Is there room for a relationship in all their planning?

A Christmas Duet!

 Now a stand-alone release!

 

A Christmas Duet

Originally included in the anthology, Melodies of Christmas Love, Christmas 2020. Now a release from Prism Effect Publishing.

Here's more about the story:

Following a breakup, professional cellist Kate Fleming’s well of inspiration has run dry. Her musical ensemble is counting on her to write several cello and piano compositions for their next album. She’s rented a beautiful beach house on Whidbey Island for the Christmas season. But the atmosphere may not be inspiring enough.

Church music director Zach Tillmon would love to book a professional musician for the upcoming Christmas program. His number-one choice is out of reach. But perhaps the newcomer wouldn’t mind sharing her talents with the congregation.

When these two perform together, sparks fly. But their lives aren’t settled, so a romance is out of the question. Or is it? 

Join them near picturesque Puget Sound at Christmastime for a delightfully musical love story.

This is the sequel my novel award-finalist novel, Finding Love in Whidbey Island, Washington. For the best experience, I recommend reading these in order.
