About this series
Swamp life is hard for a city girl.
When Yeardleigh's papa murders her mama, an unlikely pair steals this city girl to the swamp for safety. Twelve year-old Yeardleigh finds herself left with a family with two boys and a girl, and she has to learn all the ways of river life, nothing like her city existence.
As Yeardleigh grows up, she develops feelings for one of the boys, but he makes a decision that leads him away from her and estranges him from his entire family, forcing Yeardleigh to think about family, city life, and what she wants from her future. When tragedy and danger come to both Cy and Yeardleigh, they have another chance to determine if they could be more than friends. Assuming, of course, they survive the attacks against them.
The final book of the Trilogy on the River, Swamp Song is one more trek into the simpler—but never safer—life of a group of folks who live away from the world on the river. Sweet romance.

Grow up. Fall in love. Avoid alligators Abandoned by her mother, nine year-old Princess finds herself alone in the swamp with her absentee father, who travels the river to make a living. Then she finds Cree at her door, the boy who lives two houses down on their tiny patch of land. He's twelve and strong, the first boy she's ever seen, and he invites her to dinner with his baby brothers, because Cree, like Princess, is mostly alone in the world. That evening his eyes sparkle at Princess for the very first time, and Princess' life truly begins. From that day forward Cree and Princess work together to survive and raise Cree's brothers. Occasionally hindered by Cree's abusive father, they learn about life and growing up through her dad's extensive library as well as the lessons they figure out on their own. But life in the swamp isn't easy for two kids. They endure flooding storms, illness, and alligators along the way. Cree longs to care for his brothers and the girl he's falling in love with by traveling like his dad, but Princess is terrified he'll never return, just like her mother never returned. And yet they have to agree and work together, because neither can survive alone. In this coming of age romance, follow Cree and Princess as they grow up, fall in love, and avoid alligators. Come visit a quieter place and time and drift down the river in the sweet romance Trilogy on the River.
- Swamp Wife: Trilogy on the River, #2
2
He wanted a housekeeper, not a wife. Like many kids on the river, Emilie and Luc are married for the benefits of their families. Emilie considers Luc an attractive boy, and she hopes to find the happiness her parents had. Luc, however, has no understanding of women or wives, and he just wants Emilie to care for his ailing grandfather so he won't lose his farm. Emilie is determined to show Luc how helpful a wife can be to him, and she supports him regardless of his cold, silent demeanor or the hurtful antics of his family. Luc's father, though, is determined to convince Luc that a wife is a problem to be returned to her family when his grandfather dies. Eventually both Luc and Emilie's families are working against them, and the pair will need to be united if they are to survive alone in the swamps. Emilie only hopes she can reach Luc's heart before his papa destroys it—and possibly both of their lives—entirely. Swamp Wife is book two of the Trilogy on the River. Drift down the river and enjoy a sweet romance from a simpler place and time.
