Genre: Sweet Romantic Comedy

Release Date: May 1, 2025

From Breck Girl to Hippie to Jesus People…

…It’s been a long journey back home

But can her heart truly find peace where it all began?

When free-spirit Shilo Anderson inherits two million dollars with an unexpected condition—marriage—she refuses to be bound by her grandfather’s will. Until her beloved aunt faces cancer with no insurance to cover chemotherapy.

She won’t marry for money for herself, but to save her aunt’s life? She’ll make that sacrifice in a heartbeat.

Maybe.

Jesse Franklin never forgot his first love. When her grandfather’s will brings Shilo back to their hometown, he discovers his love for her has only deepened with time. Offering to marry her to help save her aunt, no problem.

Keeping it a marriage of convenience, that might be a problem. More like impossible.

As their feelings grow stronger, Shilo faces her greatest fear: revealing the truth about her past decade. Can she make Jesse see she doesn’t belong on anyone’s pedestal?

Return to 1973 Kokomo, Indiana, where faith shapes the journey and the legend of the cardinal in the sycamore still proves true love endures all seasons.

You will enjoy this sweet, quirky tale of second chances, because sometimes the rough patches prepare us for the wildly wonderful.

Insight from the Author

They are standalones. What pulls them into a series is that in each one, the legend of the cardinal in the sycamore lets the couple know they are meant for each other. In other words, if you haven’t read any of the other books, no worries. You can start with Shilo.

In the meantime, this is Shilo’s turn to be introduced to readers. I can clearly picture her—tall and lithe with strawberry blonde hair that she often wears in a thick braid that hangs over her freckled shoulder. She has a tiny gap between front teeth and a big smile to show it off. Her preference is to walk whenever possible, and she enjoys being barefoot in God’s green grass. She has no trouble talking with people—my dad would’ve said she’s never met a stranger. Friendly, fun-loving, and compassionate to a fault. What’s not to love?

Okay, Shilo isn’t perfect because if she was, there wouldn’t be a story. I realize that. But she is someone who’d make a great friend. Just like I thought she did in the song before I learned the real meaning.

I hope you will give Shilo: A Sweet, Quirky, Romantic Muddle a read. I think you’ll find laugh-out-loud moments as well as ones that will touch your heart.

You can find Shilo and all the other books of the series on Amazon.
