Leslie Noyes grew up in the panhandle of Texas many, many years ago. She married her high school sweetheart, and they now reside in Florida, just outside of Tallahassee with their cat, Gracie. They have two terrific children and five way above average grandchildren.
When she’s not writing, Leslie is either reading or trying to figure out the meaning of life. She's pretty sure it has something to do with wine, but more trials are necessary before she can reach a conclusion.
Gracie hard at work!
How well can a wife ever know her husband? Paula Arnett would swear she knows everything there is to know about hers, that is, until she gets the call that the love of her life was involved in a freak accident. She doesn't think things could possibly get any worse. But after his funeral, she's blindsided when their lawyer informs her that, several months before, her husband liquidated their assets and purchased a run-down fishing resort in east Texas!
Worse yet, while searching for answers, Paula discovers a note from a mysterious woman whose name gives her reason to believe that her husband may have actually been married to this woman at the same time he was married to Paula! Determined to learn the truth, Paula enlists the help of her best friend, Cassie, and together, they go undercover on the road trip of a lifetime.
Wedding bells are ringing at the Happy Valley Motor Inn and Resort. While she’s still grieving the loss of her husband the year before, Paula Jean Arnett is determined to help her friend have the wedding of a lifetime.
Still, she doesn’t expect her own heart will heal anytime soon. But between friends old and new, the resort’s well-deserved reputation for mayhem, and two handsome men vying for her attention, Paula learns that sometimes life offers a second chance at happiness.
Paula Arnett is ready to embark on a new adventure. To that end, she’s made some bold choices, and in the process, surprised some of her dearest friends--all in time for her high school class reunion at the Happy Valley Motor Inn and Resort. While Paula hopes to reconnect and reminisce with her classmates, not everyone on the invitation list has come to party.
When one classmate goes missing, Paula can’t ignore the possibility that something terribly wrong has happened. Even worse, she suspects that someone from her class might be responsible. Add in her burgeoning desire for a reunion with a certain doctor, and the stage is set for mystery and maybe a little romance.
Ho! Ho! Humbug? Is there a cure for the holiday blues? If so, Paula Arnett has yet to discover it. Candy canes and eggnog just aren’t doing the trick this year as she struggles with memories of Christmases past.
How can she possibly prepare for a future with the man she adores when so many unresolved questions weigh her down? It's going to take equal parts comfort and joy, a pinch or two of mayhem, along with a heaping helping of love to put Paula in the mood. Is the Happy Valley Motor Inn and Resort up to the task?
Not everyone gets a second chance. At life. At love. At having it all. So, when Paula Arnett realizes she’s one of the lucky few, she jumps at the chance to elope with her handsome Dr. Hunky, aka, Mark Fields.
There’s another, though, who’d do anything to convince Mark that she, and not Paula, is the one who’s worthy of a second chance. Even if it means eliminating the competition for Mark’s affections.
Will Paula and Mark finally get to say, “I do”? Or will their vows die at the altar?
D’Aun Gilman is determined to prove she’s worthy of her recent promotion. If she can close a deal to acquire Young and Sons Ranch in the Texas panhandle, her new position as Vice-President of Acquisitions for Cattle King Industries and the corner office that comes with the job will cement her place in the business world.
The only thing holding her back is Barton Young, the handsome cowboy who will stop at nothing to obtain his family’s ranch for himself. Between balancing her emotions with her career, D’Aun soon finds her job in jeopardy. Worse yet, she fears her heart might be broken beyond repair. Will fate step in and allow D’Aun to keep her career and her heart’s desire?
