In a world of faith and flour, love is the secret ingredient.

The Secret Ingredient

Release Date: December 1, 2025

Holy Grounds runs on two things: the nutty, caramel scent of coffee and Sebastien Davenport’s beloved cranberry-gingerbread muffins.

When the pastry chef collapses days before Christmas, owner Bridgette Calloway faces an impossible morning rush and an even harder truth: the beloved chef she’s leaned on may need her more than ever.

When a frightening diagnosis upends Seb’s independence and he’s at his lowest, it’s his boss he finds himself calling. Perhaps she’s more than a boss after all… Bridgette shows up with a Bible, Chinese takeout, and the solid courage he didn’t know he needed. In the hush of winter and a kitchen dusted with flour and light, their friendship warms into something deeper. But fear, pride, and new limitations could cost them more than a holiday menu.

As carols ring and candlelight glows, Bridgette and Seb are thrust into uncharted territory and must make a choice. Will they retreat into safety, or put their trust in the God who writes love stories in unexpected places like a coffee sleeve, a baker’s bench, and prayer whispered over racks of cooling pastries?

Treasures Along the Fenceline 2025

including "On the Straight and Narrow" By Kirsten Clark

Hoity-toity highrise living Alice Mae has left Calgary behind, returning to the family farm in Red Grove to care for her ailing mother. 

As it turns out, Alice’s hell-raising party animal neighbour Matthew Floyd Phillips is back in town too. And if Alice knows anything about Matthew Flloyd Philips, it's that he’s trouble. Trouble with a capital T. 

But Matthew swears he’s changed. Sobered up. Matured. Gotten on the straight and narrow.

Can they find common ground along the fenceline?

He’s a lost soul. She has faith. God has a plan for them both.

A Christmas Cup of Joe

Release Date: November 1, 2024

Simon Jenkins is a lost soul. Struggling to process a deep loss, he survives one day at a time on the freezing streets of Bunker Hill, finding fleeting warmth at the local homeless shelter. So when a beautiful woman with ruby-red lips and a bright blue beanie thrusts a blessing bag into his arms and shares a message of faith, Simon is dubious. But her presence brings a deep warmth, and her eyes twinkle with a secret that promises hope and love. Could he really deserve such blessings?

Sandra Williams leads a life of faith. With a great job as a nurse at the local retirement home and an apartment she shares with roommates, Sandra knows she’s lucky. But her life hasn’t always been this way. And, to be honest, she’s lonely. So when she’s called by God to take a blessing bag to Dickensfield Park on a frigid January morning, she goes, despite the freezing temperatures. The man she’s led to is clearly down and out, but his honesty, and good looks, captivate her. Could he be the answer to her prayers?

Brought together by nothing less than divine intervention and a cup of joe, will Sandra be able to convince Simon that he’s worthy of giving God’s love, and their budding relationship, a chance?
