In a series of twelve “tracks”, ANTHOLOGY begins with That Summer, a tender and passionate tale of a hardened widow who falls for her teenaged farmhand. In Roller Coaster, a whirlwind summer romance is threatened by the storm of a lifetime. A famous actress is starstruck by a returning soldier who doesn’t know she’s famous in Enchanted, and a couple on safari explores whether their marriage is worth saving in Austin. In Just A Dream, a retired Special Forces operator develops paternal love for his young pregnant neighbor, while Amarillo by Morning follows a bull rider who sacrifices his wife and girlfriend for love of the rodeo.
From the windswept plains of Texas to ground zero of Hurricane Katrina, from the orchards of Central California to Hollywood’s elite parties, from a military post in North Carolina to Tanzania’s breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater, ANTHOLOGY celebrates the raw emotional power of country music.

Discover all that glitters in the Liberty Hill Series
The California Gold Rush roars to life in Sonja’s fast-paced trilogy about a teenaged heiress and her arranged marriage to a reckless gambler.
Liberty Hill
Adventure is for the taking.
New York City, 1849––After her father is murdered, spoiled teenage heiress Evelyn Brennan can’t imagine her life getting any worse... until she’s forced into an arranged marriage with the one man she has sworn to despise for all eternity, the impetuous gambler Lucius Flynn.
When Lucius drags his headstrong bride west in pursuit of California gold, she vows to make him suffer every step of the way. But as they embark upon a dangerous journey through the jungles of Panama, what doesn't break them may bind them together... until a handsome vagabond catches Evelyn’s attention, and Lucius realizes he must prove he’s more than the man Evelyn believes he is, before he loses her heart to another man forever.
With exquisite imagery and a dynamite cast of characters, Liberty Hill is the rollicking, coming-of-age beginning of a western saga that brings the romance and lawlessness of the California Gold Rush to life. The first book in a fast-paced trilogy, it’s the story of a time and place where all fortunes, dreams, and innocence may be lost; where lust demands blood, and love inspires sacrifice.
Poverty Creek
Love is the greatest agony.
The Southern Mines, 1849––After conquering the jungles of Panama, Lucius Flynn and Evelyn Brennan set sail for the Land of Dreams, but they couldn’t be more at odds. Determined to make a fortune and put an end to their arranged marriage once and for all, they join a company of ragtag prospectors and embark on the dangerous road to Prosperity, a boomtown in the Sierra Nevada foothills. Surrounded by intriguing new friends and golden opportunities, the Wild West just might bring Lucius and Evelyn together… until Nell Watson arrives. Charming and seductive, the famous dancer sets her sights on Lucius, while Evelyn becomes more and more entangled with a married man.
In Poverty Creek, vigilantes, cowboys, and hopeless romantics converge in a world where lawlessness and drudgery disguise themselves as freedom and grandeur. Where beauty is treacherous, and dreams are fallible. The western adventure continues in this highly anticipated sequel to Liberty Hill.
Devil’s Grotto
The end is at gunpoint.
Panama, 1849––Desperate to get her family to California once and for all, Adele Whitfield forms an unlikely alliance with a man who may have everything to gain by helping her: romance, revenge, and a sizable reward.
California––As winter approaches, Lucius Flynn and the Company of J’s race to unearth their fortune. But dark times loom in Prosperity. Blindsided by tragedy, Evelyn Brennan tries to remain strong, while a devastated Lucius is confronted by a ghost from his past. Without the help of Evelyn and his friends, everything Lucius has – and everyone he loves – may be lost forever.
In Devil’s Grotto, sinners rise and good men fall. Where sex and bullets are currency, hearts will be broken, blood will be spilled, and love will be tested, in this final chapter of the Liberty Hill series.
