Winds of Heaven Books in Order

The Winds of Heaven series is a two-book contemporary romance about grief, unexpected responsibility, and the family people make together. It starts with Winds of Heaven, after Casey Bennet learns that Julie, a former lover, has died. Julie's lawyer asks Casey to help Julie's partner, Liz Kennedy, and Liz's young daughter Skye.

Casey is not eager to become anyone's rescue plan.

She sees herself as a committed bachelor and is not prepared for Liz, who is grieving, pregnant, and trying to hold life together for three-year-old Skye. But Casey agrees to help, and the arrangement changes the shape of all their lives. What begins as a favor becomes a close look at parenting, loss, trust, and whether someone who has kept emotional distance can choose a fuller kind of love.

Liz and Casey do not meet under easy circumstances. Julie's death is an absence that affects every decision, while Skye needs stability and honest care from the adults around her. The pregnancy adds another deadline and another reason for the characters to decide what kind of household they want to create. The series finds room for sadness, but it does not stay solemn for long. Everyday domestic confusion and Casey's resistance to being swept into family life bring much of the humor.

Skye has a lot to say about the direction of events.

Moonbeams And Skye revisits the Kennedy-Bennett family after six months with a new baby. Casey and Liz are navigating house hunting, work, military-veterans music projects, a busy home, and the basic challenge of finding time for each other. The sequel is less about the first leap into love and more about the work of staying connected after the family has grown.

These are soft-edged, character-centered books, with real grief and pressure underneath the warm moments. The focus is on women learning how to share responsibility without losing themselves, and on children who are active parts of the story rather than convenient plot devices.

Start with Winds of Heaven. Moonbeams And Skye is a direct continuation, and it works best when readers already know how Casey, Liz, and Skye first became a family.
