3 primary works
Book 1
Love's crossroads converge when Beauford, Tennessee, meets Merritt, Alabama, in this charming new series by USA Today best-selling author Alicia Hunter Pace.
Dr. Maxwell Ellis Buchanan IV had wealth and privilege, a flourishing career, and perfect parents. Then his life suddenly skidded into a tailspin, and his lead foot landed him in hot water. Too many speeding tickets means Max must volunteer his time at Merritt's local arts center. Even worse? He'll report to Audrey Evans, the gorgeous new woman in town who just flat out turned him down for a date.
Audrey's fought hard to rise above her rough childhood and achieve her dreams. When a terrible attack robbed her of her job as an ESPN reporter, she retreated to Merritt, with its slower pace and kindly townsfolk, to figure out her next path. The last thing she expects is for it to lead to an arrogant golden boy like Max.
Yet as they work together to support their new community, Max and Audrey find surprising common ground and a chemistry that leaves them breathless. They soon discover that starting over might just be the best way to get to where you always belonged.

Book 2
As personal assistant to the rich and famous Beauford brothers, Sammy Anderson spends his days catering to his employers' needs--and his nights with the beautiful women who don't mind using his bed as a stepping stone to his bosses. His life may not be glamorous, but he's happy enough--until he meets interior design assistant Pam Carson and realizes what he's been missing.
Surrounded by her glamorous, accomplished family and talented bosses, unassuming Pam tends to blend into the background. She wouldn't expect Sammy Anderson to look at her twice, so why is it this gorgeous errand boy can't seem to stop staring at her?
When they join forces to make sure Jackson Beauford's benefit concert goes off without a hitch, Sammy tries to make Pam see that this connection they share is special. But she's convinced her ordinary existence could never be enough to make him give up his sparkling life in Beauford.
During a star-studded week in Merritt, will these two underdogs finally step into the spotlight to find their own fairy tale?

Book 3
Bennett Pontellier Watkins and Helene-Louise Soileau had a secret, youthful love affair--until their mothers found out. Helene-Louise, the housekeeper's daughter, was sent to France to study lacemaking while a bereft Bennett drowned his sorrows on the beach with beer and sorority girls.
Eight years later, Helene-Louise, now a master craftsman, owns a shop in Beauford, Tennessee, and teaches a series of workshops at the Cultural Arts Center in Merritt, where Bennett is the director. It isn't long before they fall into each other's arms once more.
But old patterns begin to re-emerge, and despite Bennett's declarations of love, it's clear to Helene-Louise that he still has no intention of coming clean with his upper-crust parents about their relationship. Is she willing to give up everything she's built for herself in Beauford for a man who may never see her as more than the hired help's daughter?
Or will Christmastime in Merritt reveal love to be the greatest present of all?
