​The stories in The Southern Collection all have slight connections so you can read each book individually — without a cliffhanger — then continue the journey and meet new protagonists with different issues and tragedies to overcome. Each story has a mystery, there’s always a gentle message, and above all, there’s always romance and suspense. 

The novels are listed below in the order they were published, but you can read them in any order, but so you don't run into any spoilers, I suggest you read Charlotte 1 before Charlotte 2, and Nantahala 1 before Nantahala 2.

Each book is a separate story; you DO NOT have to read the next book in the collection...unless you want to! :)

​Split Decisions
Charlotte #2

​Split Decisions is the follow-up story to She Belongs to Me, a "what if" type of story that explores the questions we often ask ourselves about our life and the choices we've made. Get ready...this is not your normal romantic-suspense... This is romantic-suspense with a supernatural twist.

Eighteen years ago, Jaynee Monroe married the man of her dreams, became the mother of four, and fulfilled her career goals. About to turn forty, she senses something is missing from her idyllic life. While Googling her name in an attempt to find herself, she unearths something so impossible, she contemplates her own sanity. Seeking answers, she embarks on a journey to discover the truth, only to end up abducted by a deranged stranger who insists on calling her Caycee.
