Seasons of Courtship

Choosing Chastity – A Clean Small Town Romantic Comedy Series

by DJ Ridley

The Calloway Sisters

What if choosing a husband meant choosing the future for eleven sisters?

Pastor Calloway’s daughter Chastity, the eldest of eleven spirited and headstrong sisters, knows her duty: marry wisely, marry quickly, and marry well—for her family’s future, her sisters’ prospects, and the town’s peace of mind.
But when the suitors start lining up—one charming, one safe, one stubborn—Chastity’s patience wears thinner than her best Sunday gloves.

The whole town has an opinion, her ten sisters have a ledger, and Covenant’s marriage season is spinning faster than a Maypole.

All Chastity wants is something real: a love she can trust, a life she can build, and a future that doesn’t require public speeches or perfect waltzes.

She’ll need every ounce of her quiet courage—and maybe a little faith—to choose the life that’s right for her, not just the one everyone expects.

Chasing Chastity is a clean, cozy, small-town romantic comedy with:

  • Big families, bigger gossip, and slow-burn courtship
  • Sweet humor, light-hearted scandal, and loyal sisters meddling in all the wrong ways
  • A town where patience is a virtue—and the bravest thing a woman can do is wait for the right love

Fall in love with the Calloway sisters. Stay for the riot.

Kiss Under the Lemon Tree

Sweet Romance Set in 1954

Sometimes, the path you planned isn’t the one you end up taking. Twenty-three-year-old Sonny Pace is a gifted photojournalist ready to begin his career traveling the world. But first, he must return home to sell his deceased mother’s house. He has no desire to settle down until he crosses paths with Addie Stevenson, the girl he secretly loved in high school. Addie lives with her grandmother, who took her in after being abandoned by her father then orphaned at a young age when her mother died. On the surface, Addie appears content with the lifestyle her grandmother has defined for her. Then Sonny captures her love…until family deceptions are revealed and she breaks his heart. Confronted with truths about mortality and faith, and caught in the middle of lies and confusion, Sonny makes the only decision he can.
