Coastal Christmas--An award-winning book
October Release--Feathered Quill Book Awards--Bronze Medal
When Christmas magic fills a house, the charm of falling in love becomes possible―especially in this heartfelt holiday story from award-winning author Lori Hayes.
An old farmhouse on a salt marsh is said to have Christmas magic. As the legend goes, whoever moves into the homestead will not only fall in love but be married by Christmas. Terri McMillan is burnt-out on city life. She wants to buy the house, but the owner, Matt Baker, requests one final Christmas in his grandparent’s home before selling it. When Terri and Matt discover letters and a diary from the Vietnam War era, an old family secret is revealed. Could love like this still exist? The magic of Christmas just might be working.

Island Summer--A multiple Award-Winning Book
JUNE RELEASE 2022--Feathered Quill Book Awards--Gold Finalist
When a betrayed young woman moves to a charming beach town to escape love, an unlikely matchmaker gets involved.
Physical therapist Emily McMillan broke off her troubled engagement to move to a charming, albeit tight-knit, seaside community for a new start. But will the locals accept her? She's too quiet, too reserved and wants to hole up in her apartment to write her latest novel. When she treats a spunky patient, popularly known as Gran, she finds herself agreeing to a date with Gran's handsome grandson.
Keith Stallings, a creative businessman who owns the local passenger ferry, tempts Emily with a dreamy island full of wild horses, an enticing beach laden with colorful sunsets, and a home-cooked picnic under the stars. Heck, even a wild pelican named Sam loves him. Emily had declared men off-limits, but just when she believes this is the best island summer ever, the park service threatens Keith's livelihood. Keith has a difficult decision to make, one that may not include Emily.
An emotionally complex beach read, this love story reaches just beyond the sand dunes where the sea turtles nest and where the tides can wash away dreams.
