Chelsea’s world collapsed literally in one heartbeat. She’d always dreamed of returning home and working beside her father in his CPA firm. The small-town lifestyle called to her soul. But her parents had other plans. Plans that involved caring for her sister in Houston. Until she received a phone call that changed everything
Trent, like all his small-town classmates, had inherited his father’s business. Unfortunately, it was a funeral home. He didn’t mind the work. Helping people and fixing their problems gave him great satisfaction. But being a mortician meant foregoing marriage. No woman, not even his own mother, wanted to be married to a man whose days were consumed by death.
When Chelsea’s world collided with Trent’s, romantic sparks flew. Except Chelsea had commitments in the city, and Trent possessed no hope that any woman could tolerate his career choice. Their paths had crossed, but they both assumed they’d go their separate ways once the crisis had passed.
Or did God have other plans?
Buried Dreams is a closed-door Christian romance.
It is book one of the Burleigh romance series.
Madison couldn’t figure out how she’d gotten in this position. One day she lived to shop, accumulating more shoes and purses than a million women could need. All on someone else’s credit card. Now she owned one pair of steel-toed boots that cost her last penny.
How had she fallen so far, so fast? Her sister, Chelsea, was to blame for all this. Madison planned to make her sister pay – literally and figuratively.
She hadn’t factored Daniel into the equation, however. Daniel was the black sheep of his family and her boss. The first time she laid eyes on him, Madison judged him to be the last person able to help her achieve her goals.
Instead, Daniel guided her through redefining her objectives and becoming the woman God wanted her to be. Through both their similarities and differences, they began to build the first loving relationship either of them had ever known.
Until the past caught up with them. Once again, family members crumbled their foundation and threatened their future.
Can Madison stand firm on her newfound morals, or will old habits drag her back into her past? Will Daniel’s convictions sustain him through struggles with his brother? Or will the personal growth they achieved together be wiped out by their pasts?

Would Lori’s desires blind her to Anthony’s true nature? Or would his business savvy elevate her aspirations? Would the dream of big city life overcome the heartache caused by separation from Rusty?
