"This is a contemporary romance that contains profound lessons of faith and portrays love's ability to heal beautifully. It is witty, intricate, and immersive. Highly recommended." - Edith Wairimu for Reader's Favorite "It is refreshing to read any romance in which the characters have self-restraint and values, and they can sit and converse and deal with trust issues before acting on their mutual attraction. This book series shows that it is possible to write emotionally charged stories without compromising values and beliefs to make them sell.... interweaves belief and faith in Christ into the plot so that it feels natural and right. May we see more of these stories that reflect the values that Christians live by and want to read about." - Delene Vrey for Reader's Favorite Chase Bondurant spent years running from his past the only way he knew how: by keeping his mind busy and his hands preoccupied. He moved to Goodwater Ranch, rebuilt his life and started his own business to put as much distance between himself and those memories that he possibly could. But soon, his demons will come roaring back when he happens upon a chance encounter with Goodwater Ranch’s mayor-elect. Ophelia Day has skeletons of her own, ones that she's been trying to bury beneath her political platform centered around sheltering abused and neglected women and children. When she learns that the man behind her painful memories has escaped prison, Ophelia turns to the only place she feels safe: Chase Bondurant's arms. Despite his best laid plans, Chase will be forced to make a choice: protect this woman he’s strangely drawn to, or keep pretending everything’s fine. *** Each book is a stand-alone*** However, Goodwater Ranch is a small-town series, and many characters cross over and interact in each story.

"...an exciting fun-filled ride of a lifetime. Where the first book was more serious, the second is filled with sassy women and good humor. The first book is an introduction to Jude's world and his family of Immortals, but the second book is an action-packed adventure filled with time travel and people from myth and legend. I was so caught up in the book that I did not want to put it down. Ms. Lewis writes a story that flows effortlessly from the pages, creating a rich and fulfilling reading experience." Delene Vrey for Reader's Favorite For a time, they remained hidden. For a time, they remained as legends. Until it was not enough to only live. Jude, the vampire king, just wanted to live out his life with his new bride. Go on their honeymoon, read the paper every Sunday morning over coffee and beignets, bury himself in the comfort of his wife’s arms. Is that too much to ask? They say life is what happens while you’re making other plans, and now Jude is coming to terms with two highly uncomfortable truths: the world is nothing as he’s known it to be, and nothing will ever the be the same again. Because while he’s been on a personal quest to save history, an ancient and paranormal war has been simmering beneath his nose to wipe out his family and the vampire kind in general. Now, like it or not, Jude is forced to step into his destiny as leader, king and the prophesied Warrior. With the help of the People of Wudge, along with history’s immortal heroes, Jude and his family will begin to discover their true purpose – and just exactly how nightmares can become reality. Continuing where A New Queen left off, join our band of immortal misfits as they travel the world in search of the keys to defeat the supernatural army rising to destroy them. Part historical fiction, part speculative fiction, and part paranormal fiction, take a deeper dive to discover the stories behind Marie, Ludwig, the People of Wudge and the Ancient Impieties! What if… everything you knew about history was a lie? What if… it was all connected? *Please note: This book picks up directly where Book 1 left off, and there is a cliffhanger.* "...what also impressed me about this superb creation was its emotional resonance and the level of realism that’s interwoven by the presence of real history and powerful characterization. There was also a great deal of humor, pathos, intrigue, and mystery, not least in the utterly charming dialogue and razor-sharp wit, which characterized each individually wonderfully and moved the plot along at a suitably action-packed pace." K.C. Finn for Reader's Favorite Book 1 - A New Queen Book 2 - Legend & Lore
