Welcome to Sutton!
The fictional small town in Ohio where the people are real and things like faith and love can blossom.
Sutton Series Book 1
Right Where They Belong
Marcus Hunter is perfectly content living the small town life, except for the fact that he’s never been able to find the right woman to do it with. All he wants is someone who “gets” him. Who appreciates his sense of humor. Someone who can join in and keep up. Is that too much to ask? Does such a woman even exist?
Enter Corinne Edwards. She may be a college educated professional, but she’s also a bit of a gypsy. With a mobile business she built from the ground up, she’s free to go where she wants–and does. Moving from city to city, she spends her free time seeing the sights and not bothering to build relationships of any kind because she doesn’t intend to stay.
Imagine her surprise when she feels led to make a stop in a small town instead–and likes it! There she meets friends she didn’t know she had, a community that embraces her, and a man who, to all appearances, checks all the boxes. He’s intelligent, funny. And he gets her. Some long dormant hunger begins to awaken.
Happily ever after, right? Perhaps, but with a past littered with failed attempts and a present constrained by invisible expectations, happily ever after might be easier said than done.

Not What They Expected
Coming October 1, 2025!
They joined us for one brief scene in Right Where They Belong: Sutton Series Book 1. Now they’re back to tell us their own story.
Thomas Schaefer:
A quiet, hard-working guy who’s only ever loved one woman. Problem is, he never had the courage to tell her that before she moved away.
Elizabeth Shepard:
Just moved home to take a demanding job and look after her parents. There’s little room in her schedule for romance-and even less in her emotional bank.
Add in struggles with family and a couple of difficult friends, and their challenge card is complete.
Though they share a history uniquely their own and a mutual desire for a life of faith, if they want any chance at building that life, Thomas and Elizabeth must navigate through all of this.
Together.
