Z. Peabody

Peabody is new to Christian Romance.

A believer in the teachings of Christ, Z. came to Christ at any early age. It was her deep love of Christ's teachings that lead Z. to read Young Adult Christian novels as a teenager. Years later, Z. finally sat down and applied pen to paper to start writing her own Adult Christian Romance novel.

“My characters are not perfect, and I wanted to write storylines that show that the walk to Christianity is not always an easy one. I want characters, that have lived a life, away from Christ, and then show how they come into the body of Christ, with a testimony.”

"I hope you enjoy the stories that I have created. Each story, plot, Hero, and Heroine have been created to give honor to God. My novels are Christ-centered because God had taken up permanent residence in my life, and I want to give him glory in my writings.”

Until next time.

Second Chance for the Cowboy (The Sawyer Ranch Cowboys, Book 1)

Christian Romance

The years of good and plenty that Quint Sawyer now cherishes have not always been the case. And it is only by Grace that Quint is given a second chance at love. Quint is a fourth-generation cattle rancher. His heart and love is in the land that he works. For Quint, there’s no better life than the open range of his mountainous home.

The first time he met the fiery Penniford Elliott, they didn’t hit it off, and every time they’ve crossed each other’s path since then, Quint has gotten Penni out of one mess after another.

“It doesn’t matter where or how your life starts; it matters how your life ends.”

Penniford Elliot is far from her home in the upstate suburbs of Illinois. For one Summer, Penni traded in her structured life to go visit her aunt in the unpredictable, wide open spaces of Montana. Penni soon discovers that she isn’t cut out for the wide-open spaces or the ever-present Quint Sawyer.

This book is about redemption, finding love, and getting a second chance.

Redemption for the Cowboy (The Sawyer Ranch Cowboys, Book 2)

Christian Romance

Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law. --Galatians 3:13

Remington Haylord is a preacher's son. Remington was raised with a respect and love of the Word of God and a love of taking care of animals. Instead of running with his biker buddies down in Texas, Remington ran with the horses. Although Remington has not always led his life according to the Word, he knows that not every walk with Christ is an easy one, and yet, he feels a preacher's life is not for him. Now, after a few years in the corporate arena, he's found a peaceful life at the Sawyer Ranch.

While standing at the head of a church, officiating his best-friend's wedding, Remington looks down the aisle and is both shocked and amazed. The hardened heart of this cowboy is softened because walking down the aisle as the maid of honor, in a vision of pastel-yellow, is the most beautiful woman he has ever seen.

Phoebe Washington has never been to Montana, and if it wasn't for her best friend's wedding, she wouldn't be there now. As soon as she rides beneath the Sawyer Ranch sign, she's ready to turn around and board the first plane back to her concrete-jungle home—downtown Chicago—with her favorite tea shop on the corner and the courtroom drama she hates. Phoebe can handle her own in the courtroom. Fighting is one of the things she does best, but Phoebe doesn't need to fight her way to the glass table. Phoebe makes her own table.

Despite any first impressions, Phoebe has a change of heart about staying on in Montana when she sees the big, handsome cowboy standing next to her best friend's soon-to-be husband. It looks like she'll be staying in Montana for a while! He's quiet, withdrawn, and yes, he's grumpy. Yet on the rare occasions when he does smile, his face lights up like the big Montana sky. But to Phoebe's chagrin, he avoids her whenever she gets within a few feet of him. How can she make Remington see that here, with him, is where he wants her to be—and where she needs to be?
 
This book is about redemption, finding love, and getting a second chance.
