Eager to discover all the new blessings which await them in their new home on US soil, the McFerrin family turn their backs to the Emerald Isles. But far more than just wealth and prosperity await this eager Irish family as they embark on their long journey into the wilds of untamed American Continent; unexpected adventures meet them around almost every bend in the rugged landscape.
Soon Jenny Mc Ferrin finds out that God has other plans for her life than just the sedentary family life her mother hopes for her. Her path which was planned for her even before her birth leads her down a much more perilous and exciting route, right into the lives of a people as untamed and wild as the lands they were born to; the Sioux Indians.
Will the shy Irish lass be strong enough to hold on to her faith and identity when suddenly she is thrown into the midst of the fierce Indian tribe, or will their untamed nature and brutal ways be her undoing? But as the winds of change storm around her, Jenny discovers unknown strength and courage which brings her blossoming gifts of spirit into full and glorious bloom, pushing her at last over the boundaries of innocence and into womanhood.

From cattle fencing to broken-down equipment, he's always been the one who can repair anything-but the secrets surrounding his real father can't be fixed with any of the usual tools. On top of everything going on in his life, fate has placed the beautiful Caitlin Fenshaw in his path. He's drawn to her strength like a magnet, but is he ready to open his heart to someone else when he is still figuring out who he is?

Mine to Break, Mine to Keep | Daerin |
When bright, chaotic college senior Danielle finds an abandoned black cat outside her apartment, she takes her in without question - talking to her like a best friend, cuddling her through lonely nights, and naming her "Rin." But one spontaneous kiss on the nose turns her world upside down, as the cat suddenly transforms into a stunning, quiet girl with nothing but an oversized shirt... and a secret curse. Haerin has lived in silence for years, trapped in fur by an ancient magical object - a curse that can only be broken by something far more intimate than a kiss. With Dani's warmth melting her walls and desire simmering beneath the surface, the real question becomes: how long can they hold back from each other when love is the one thing that could set them both free? 🥇Daerin 1/8/25 🥇Marshdanielle 1/825 🥇Modani 1/8/25 🥇 Humanform 1/8/25Complete

Across the River - an 1800s Black / Native American Novella
Part black. Part Irish. Part Lumbee Indian. Wholly determined to protect her family. Naomi Jackson made a mistake. Born in the tumultuous years following the American Revolution, she embraced change, excitement, and adventure. So when the Devil Bill Williams swaggered into town, she launched into his arms, determined that her love for him could overcome all obstacles. It couldn't. Now she has two young children, a life of misery, and a hopeless, desperate desire to escape. Then David Oxendine arrives for a Christmas visit - and things will never be the same. * * * Across the River - an 1800s Black / Native American Novella is the first in a series of novellas about Naomi Jackson's heartfelt, challenging life. These stories are based loosely on author Lisa Shea's real-life ancestor, Naomi Jackson, who was born in 1784 in Guilford County, North Carolina. Naomi's father had been taken from Northern Ireland as a child, while her mother was mixed-blood black, Lumbee, and Irish. Each novella has a cliff-hanger ending, much like Naomi's life. All author's proceeds from the Naomi Jackson series benefits local battered women's shelters. An important note for readers of my various series. Normally my content is quite "clean" with little to no swearing, violence, or physical intimacy. With this being based on the immense hardships my ancestor struggled through, I wanted to be authentic to the issues she rose above. This book therefore includes period-appropriate harsh language as well as several scenes of conflict. I gave a great deal of thought to including these and feel they are necessary to fully convey the trials she overcame. I apologize to those who feel uncomfortable reading that style of material. Please feel free to contact me at my website if you have any questions or comments - I thrive on your feedback.Complete
