Cozy Mystery

Rio Cushing is tired of fighting against the tide. She’s worked hard her whole life. Sacrificed. Struggled.

And for what? Her walking papers.

She’d worked at Lucky Trucker’s Truck Stop since she was a kid. She knew practically every person who walked through the front door by name. And Pop and the rest of the staff? Like family.

Just like her family, in fact, because they had just thrown her out, too. But these snakes did it with smiles on their faces, simply because they called it retirement. They even told her she was lucky to have reached the point in life where she could travel, spend time with loved ones and pursue her dreams!

But that was just the problem. She didn’t have any dreams. She had no loved ones — certainly not anymore. And her broken-down Honda wasn’t traveling anywhere farther than the junkyard. She had simply been surviving for as long as she could remember. So now what?

Love Triangle Romance
Enemies to Lovers, Best Friend’s Brother Romance

I remember the first time I saw Sutton Barnett in perfect detail- like a fragment of time suspended in front of my eyes. I remember his shirt- faded blue against tanned skin that had seen countless hours of the summer sun. Wet droplets peppered his shoulders from where his still wet hair had dripped onto the fabric. He rounded the bottom of the stairs, our eyes meeting for only a fraction of a second before he looked away, but it was long enough for me to know right then and there that nothing would ever be the same again.

And I was right. At thirteen years old, I had predicted exactly what was to come. Some things you just know are an absolute inevitability, and Sutton was that for me. The one thing I couldn’t escape no matter how far or fast I ran. But the distance only made me want him more. Time intensifying the deep ache that I could not outrun no matter how hard I tried. I loved him so much it hurt. But I also hated him almost as intensely.

Aspiring chef Bree Taylor thought she’d found a home at last, in the kitchen of Lassiter’s restaurant. Chef Henry Lassiter was not only her mentor, but a dear friend who regaled her with stories of his childhood home in Pajaro Bay.

Now Bree has only one last task to complete for Henry: she will deliver the dog to Henry’s twin sister in Pajaro Bay. Then she can move on, and find some way to start over, as alone and adrift as ever.

American Soul Food Cooking

My name is Christy Jordan and I like to feed people.

I come from a long line of Southern cooks who taught me home cooking is best, life is good, and there is always something to be grateful for. I created Southern Plate so that I could share the recipes and stories that have been passed down through my family for more than nine generations.

You won’t find fancy food or new-fangled recipes in this cookbook—just easy, no-fuss Southern favorites such as Chicken and Dumplings, Homemade Banana Pudding, Aunt Looney’s Macaroni Salad, Fried Green Tomatoes, and Daddy’s Rise-and-Shine Biscuits. (I want to make one thing as clear as possible: How your mama made it is the right way! I’m going to bring it to you how my mama made it, which is the only right way for me.)

These stories and recipes come from my heart. They are a gift from my ancestors, but the ability to have them heard is a gift from you. Take a seat at the Southern Plate table; you’re with family now.
