My Publishing House

We believe in romance that pierces the heart and protects the spirit.

Every book published by Hummingbird is one you could read aloud — whether to a beloved grandmother or a young reader discovering romance for the first time.

When faith appears in our stories, it does so with care. We believe it can deepen character and amplify story when it arises naturally, never as instruction and never as a sermon.

We hold a particular affection for historical romance, and at present, all of our titles belong to that tradition.

We are honored by your choice to welcome any of our books into your library.

Lilacs For Lucy

Victorian Romance Novella

Clean and Wholesome

Lucy Hargrave spent years being rejected by medical schools, her dream of becoming a doctor denied at every turn. Returning home in 1856 as a trained midwife, she expects a place where her skill will finally be valued—and a chance to leave the past behind.

But William Ashford, a newly minted doctor and the childhood friend who once laughed at her ambition, has returned too.

When Farmer Jones’ pregnant daughter falls ill, treatment becomes a competition. The whole town watches to see who will handle the case best.

For Lucy, it’s a chance to prove her skill and secure her place. For William, it’s an opportunity to make amends—and perhaps win back the woman he never stopped thinking of.

Old wounds, anonymous letters, and one perilous birth force them to choose: will rivalry keep them apart, or can forgiveness take root—like lilacs after a hard winter?

A no-spice Victorian rivals-to-lovers novella of pride, trust, and second chances.

The Baron and The Ballerina

Clean and Wholesome 

Regency Romance

Book 1 : Burnham Belles and Bachelor's

Allegra Lovage will do anything to secure her daughter’s future—even marry a man she doesn’t love.

At twenty-three, the ambitious ballerina has set her sights on the perfect husband: wealthy, respectable Colonel John Cooper. If she can capture his attention during the London season, she can give her daughter the life she deserves.

Baron Benjamin Burnham has plans for the colonel as well.

Before his father died, Ben promised to see his younger sister safely married to his childhood friend, Colonel Cooper. Inviting the colonel to stay at his London townhouse seems the perfect way to encourage the match—until Ben discovers a determined ballerina is also pursuing him.

Stopping Allegra should be simple.

Yet the more Ben crosses paths with the spirited dancer, the harder it becomes to see her as the villain of his plans. Because the woman he is determined to defeat may be the very woman he cannot forget.

 Mandatory Stats: Bachelor's degree in Communications, loves to read and write (4 books and counting), wife, mother, experience in journalism and freelance writing, bla bla bla. 

Now for the FUN stuff: 

 In high school, I won first place at the state science fair by drugging spiders (all legal). 

 I have a three-octave range and sang in Notre Dame while touring Europe with the Utah Ambassadors of Music.  

 As a kid I was nicknamed "the absent-minded professor" because, despite doing well in school, I always misplaced things, lost track of time, and had a messy desk.
