Southern Women in Trouble

(2025)
An omnibus of novels by

 
 
A collection of four early novels—written in the ’90s and still beating with the heart and hope of that time.

Four powerful romantic stories from Lorna Tedder—each originally written and published in the 1990s, now brought together in one compelling collection filled with suspense, heart, Southern atmosphere, and the kind of love that bloomed before smartphones and social media.


For GenX readers—and anyone craving a return to slow-burn chemistry, small-town secrets, and heroines fighting for themselves and the people they love—this boxed set delivers four unforgettable journeys through danger, redemption, revenge, and hard-won hope.

Included in this Collection:

A Man Called RegretWhen an aerial photographer crash-lands on a secluded Georgia farm, widow Trudy Sandlin takes in the stranger despite every instinct warning her not to. As danger encroaches—poachers, financial threats, and secrets shadowing his past—Trudy must decide whether this mysterious man is the greatest risk she’s ever taken…or her family’s last chance at safety.

Waiting on the Thunder

Meg McGhee returns to rural Alabama seeking peace, only to find her uncle’s farm occupied by a haunted former cop—and a string of murders haunting the town of Little Hope. Trapped between a violent ex-husband and a killer circling closer, Meg must decide whom to trust before the storm outside—and inside—breaks her.

Top Secret Affair

A single mom, a precocious three-year-old, and a crayon drawing on the back of a TOP SECRET document—what could go wrong? Mallory Garrett soon finds herself under round-the-clock military ‘protection,’ stuck in close quarters with an Air Force captain who’s not prepared for her independence…or her daughter’s pink-marker chaos. A warm, witty slow-burn romance set against 1990s military life.

A Fortune in Thorns

Shamed out of Belle, Alabama eight years ago, Rae Petritsis returns wealthy, determined, and ready to reclaim the power that was stolen from her. But the town hasn’t forgotten—or forgiven—and neither has the boy who broke her heart. A rich blend of revenge, redemption, small-town gossip, and second chances in a deeply atmospheric 1990s Southern setting.

These stories capture a moment in time—before text messages solved misunderstandings and social media magnified every mistake. They are rooted in community, grit, danger, and the quiet, powerful resilience of women who rise.
