Eighteen months after the loss of his wife, Deputy Jasper Goodspeed wasn’t ready to move on.

Living on an isolated island with a population of three hundred, crime was almost non-existent. Murder, especially one witnessed by the deputy’s best friend and his visiting sister, Poppie, was a once in a lifetime occurrence.

As rare as it was, Deputy Goodspeed didn’t need a partner.

While he tries to ignore his growing feelings for Poppie, Jasper’s friends and family attempt to convince him she’s just what he needs to bring a little sunshine into his dreary existence.

Jasper’s new duties as Chief keep him busy, as he trains a new deputy and deals with the usual small-town mischief. When Poppie surprises him with her return to the island, he’s excited to share the Fourth of July celebration with her.

When Jasper decides to ask Poppie to marry him, his traditional surprise proposal gets derailed multiple times. Will hard cider, a firework accident, wayward snakes, and a moment of panic prevent Jasper from asking Poppie the question she already knows is coming?

Do you believe in Santa Claus? Jasper’s not so sure. But Jensen and his cousin Micha are pretty convinced Santa is alive and well and living on Gracie Island.

While investigating the appearance of a reindeer on the island, Chief Goodspeed and his son discover the island has a new resident by the name of Chris Smith. He’s the owner of the runaway reindeer along with seven others.

While Jasper tries to make sense of it all,

a freak snowstorm may cause a problem, and keep them all grounded on Christmas Eve.

Being the second son had its perks, but having Deacon as your older brother was sometimes a pain.

 While Deacon kept everything running smoothly from an office, Tobias was a working cowboy and proud of it.

His love life, however, wasn’t so great. So when he met an incredible woman one night at a bar in Malady Springs, he didn’t mind parting the next morning, not knowing anything about her.

Fate had other plans and when the woman showed up at the ranch, Tobias was unsure of how he felt about it. Nothing in the real world could compare to that one magical night.

Tanner grew up as the sweet younger brother. He could live with that.

When the new vet, Harper Waverly, moves to town, Tanner’s not sure what to think about her. With her vegetarian lifestyle and her holistic approach to healing, she’s out of place in cattle country.

Tanner tries to help Harper assimilate into the town. But even having the endorsement of a Carmichael isn’t always enough.

As Harper struggles to win over the town, Tanner can’t help but be drawn to her.

Is she his fireworks person?

I think I fell in love with Clint Carmichael the first time I noticed him when I was twelve and he was a high school senior. Then, it seemed impossible. Now, not so much. I just had to get him to notice me, then somehow convince my father that it was true love.

But Clint and I were determined to stay together, no matter what obstacles my family put in our way. Toss in Clint’s best friend, who also wanted to throw his hat in the ring and cause some trouble, and we were fighting an uphill battle.

The road to our happily ever after was going to be a rough one. But true love conquers all. Isn’t that what they say? I sure hope that’s true.

The night of Jasper and Poppie’s reunion ends with a first kiss, a black eye, and a new family member. After ten months apart, Poppie returns for Lewis’s wedding.

But just like the weather off the coast of Maine, Jasper and Poppie’s budding relationship is a bit unpredictable. The emotional mix of sunshine, fog, and rain keeps them both on their toes as they try to stay on course.

As Lewis’ wedding day approaches, stubbornness and hurt feelings threaten to ruin the day. Can Jasper and Poppie put their pride aside long enough to make it to the reception?

Chief Jasper Goodspeed’s compulsion to protect those he loves kicks into overdrive when Hurricane Isabella threatens Gracie Island.

As he gathers his friends and family and makes sure they’re safe from the impeding storm, Jasper hopes his very pregnant wife, Poppie, doesn’t go into labor.

When the winds die down, and the rain stops, what will be left of Gracie Island? No matter what kind of devastation they may face after the storm passes, the residents of the island will band together as they always have to make their home whole again.

When Clint Carmichael died, he left a shattered wife and four children. Someone had to take over the reins of the Starlight Ranch.

That someone was twenty-three-year-old Deacon. Now, ten years later, the multi-million-dollar ranch is running smoothly under his command.

Running a ranch and a family are two full-time jobs. There’s no room or time to look for a relationship.

But when Cassidy O’Hare comes to town, he starts to wonder if being alone is what he really wants. One problem. She’s dating his brother.

Being away at school has crushed Abby’s adventurous spirit, and she’s been counting the days until the end of the semester. When her brother Tanner shows up with devastating news, she packs up her dorm to head home.

As she deals with a tragic loss, Abby reconnects with Skyler Fremont and discovers he’s engaged.

As they rekindle their friendship and spend more time together, Abby and Skyler realize that there might be something more to their relationship. But the cost of pursuing it is high.

Is Skyler willing to give up everything to be with Abby?

It only took five months for Tanner to go from being single and happily unattached to becoming a married man. That is, if a norther Texas blizzard doesn’t keep him and Harper from tying the knot.

Harper was determined for her low-key and very well-planned Christmas Eve wedding to go off without a hitch. Then it started snowing.

Things got worse from there.

Will Harper get to marry her handsome cowboy on Christmas Eve? It just might take a Carmichael Christmas miracle to pull it off.

The Carmichael Series follows Deacon, Tobias, Abilgale, and Tanner Carmichael through their life on the Starlight Ranch and the trials and tribulations of love and loss.

Family is everything and one thing they all know for sure, they will be there for each other.

Family, loyalty, and hard work has been the family motto since their great-grandfather settled on the first thirty thousand acres of prime northern Texas grassland.
