Featherstone Valley is the newest world I’ve built, and I still remember exactly where I was sitting when the idea for it first took shape — a small mountain town, a little worn around the edges, full of people who show up for each other even when they don’t always agree. It’s the kind of place I’d want to live in myself.

I get this question a lot, so I want to be upfront about it: unlike some of my other series, Featherstone Valley isn’t the kind of world where you can grab any book off the shelf and jump in. Each book centers a new couple, but their storylines weave through the ones that come after — what happens in Book 1 shapes what you’ll see in Book 3, and so on. Read them out of order and you will spoil things for yourself. So here’s the reading order, and I promise it’s worth reading them exactly this way:

Book 1: Blessings in Featherstone Valley — A grieving pastor. A widow who’s forgotten who she is outside of caring for others. This is where it all begins.

Book 2: Showdown in Featherstone Valley — Two rival miners, one high-stakes contest, and a mountain neither one will back down from.

Book 3: Whispers in Featherstone Valley — Her past followed her here. He’s the one man willing to stand between her and it.

Book 4: Hope in Featherstone Valley — A miner raising a boy who isn’t his own. A teacher who becomes the family neither of them expected.

Book 5: Rivalries in Featherstone Valley — A rancher fighting to reclaim his family’s land. A free spirit caught between duty and her own heart.

Start with Book 1 and read straight through. I promise you will fall in love with the town. There are more Featherstone Valley books coming, so consider this your official invitation to get caught up before the next one lands. Which couple’s story are you most excited to read?
