Emily is a writer, a mother, and a woman who knows heartbreak all too well. Still carrying the weight of her divorce, she’s spent the last few years rediscovering who she is—quietly rebuilding a life on her own terms.
Lucas is a devoted father, a steady architect, and a man who’s grown used to the quiet after loss. His marriage may have ended, but his love for his daughter, Lily, grounds him in something real and enduring.
When a dating app brings Emily and Lucas together, their connection is instant—but falling in love in midlife isn’t quite so simple. With kids, careers, and past wounds in tow, blending their worlds proves as complicated as it is hopeful. Emily isn’t sure where she fits into the life Lucas built before her, and Lucas is still learning how to open his heart again—with patience, honesty, and time.
Told through alternating perspectives—and love letters written but not always shared—Emily’s Next Chapter is a heartfelt story about finding love again after loss, navigating the fragile space between parenting and partnering, and discovering that it’s never too late to begin again.

Fiction – Contemporary Romance
ISBN: 978-1-955743-85-3 (softcover)
Jessica’s New Beginning is an emotionally rich story about rediscovery, resilience, and the courage it takes to build something new after everything has changed.
After the unraveling of her relationship with Lucas, the father of her daughter and the man she once thought she’d spend forever with, Jessica has focused on two things: raising Lily and building her career as a physical therapist. She’s proud of what she’s built, but there’s still a lingering ache where love and lust used to live.
Then comes Will: a teacher with two kids of his own and a sadness behind his smile. His wife passed away five years ago, and while he’s taken careful steps toward healing, he hasn’t opened himself up to love again until now. Their connection is instant, undeniable… and complicated.
Just as Jessica begins to see a future with Will, he finds that his daughter, Sophie, is struggling with this new woman in her life. It was clear that Sophie liked Jessica well enough, but it seemed that Sophie’s memories of her own mother were beginning to fade away. To add more to the mix, Jessica sustains an unbearable loss at the beginning of this budding romance. She must decide if Will is the right man to stand by her side.
As tensions grow and insecurities mount, Jessica must determine if she can work through the grief that still lingers in Will’s home and in her own heart. Is pursuing love really worth it? Will the letters from Will’s dead wife provide the necessary strength and hope, and perhaps a way forward for this newfound love?
A powerful follow-up to Emily’s Next Chapter, this story delves into the raw and real experiences of love later in life, co-parenting, grief, and the beautiful chaos of starting over.

Liz has always been the one who shows up. As Jessica’s best friend since childhood, she’s stood beside her through love, loss, and every messy turning point in between. But when it comes to her own heart, Liz has learned to keep things light, passionate, and carefully contained. After losing both of her parents, commitment feels like a risk she isn’t sure she can survive again.
Matt knows that kind of grief all too well. Widowed young and shaped by loss, he’s learned to live in the moment—intense, magnetic, and unapologetically present—without promising more than he can give.
When Liz and Matt collide, the chemistry is immediate and impossible to ignore. What starts as heat and stolen moments quickly becomes something deeper, forcing them both to confront the fears they’ve been running from and the future they never planned to want.
Liz’s Forever After is Book Three in the Starting Over Trilogy, following Emily’s Next Chapter and Jessica’s New Beginning.

When a hospital physician crosses a dangerous line with Brooke, things quickly unravel. The revelation shatters her fragile sense of safety and forces her to question everything she knows about this man she has come to desire and love.

Laura loves her cozy bookstore in Holiday Springs, Montana, but lately, the moments at the end of the day have started to feel quiet and lonely. With another Christmas season settling over the town, she decides maybe what she really needs is a dog to come home to. She decides to visit a local animal shelter where dogs choose their humans.
Drew understands loneliness more than he cares to admit. Between running his birdhouse shop and spending most evenings alone in his house at the base of the mountains, life has started to feel more routine than meaningful. So when he visits the local animal shelter hoping to adopt a dog of his own, it feels like the right step forward.
There’s just one problem. During the choosing session, a lovable golden retriever named Einstein chooses both Laura and Drew.
With neither willing to walk away without the adorable furball, the three of them end up in an unexpected dog-share arrangement that quickly turns their lives upside down.
What begins as weekly dog exchanges soon becomes flirty text messages, snowy walks through town, cozy dinners, and kisses that feel straight out of a Christmas movie. As the holiday season draws closer, Laura and Drew realize Einstein may have brought them together for a reason.
But when an unexpected accident uncovers the truth about Einstein’s past, they are forced to confront just how much this dog and each other have come to mean to them.
Filled with cozy holiday charm, laugh-out-loud moments, sweet chemistry, and one very opinionated golden retriever, A Pawsitively Merry Meet Cute is a heartwarming small-town romance about finding love when you least expect it.
The Beachcomber

With twelve bestselling thrillers behind her, Claire Montgomery knows exactly how to manipulate readers, plant suspicion, and bury the truth beneath carefully curated twists. But when her ex-husband and his mistress flee after a mistrial tied to financial fraud, the whispers surrounding Claire become impossible to ignore. Suddenly, she isn’t writing the mystery anymore. She’s trapped inside one.
Desperate to disappear, Claire escapes to a remote cabin along the shores of Lake Superior, where the cold water and endless woods promise anonymity. Instead, she finds herself pulled into the orbit of two dangerous men: Eli, a carpenter haunted by his past, and Gabriel, a ruthless manipulator who collects secrets the way other men collect money.
Gabriel has plans for Claire. He wants her to write one final story: a confession detailing her crimes, her betrayals, and the truth behind the people who vanished. And when the last page is finished, Claire’s life will end with it.
As Claire is forced across borders and deeper into a web of false identities, surveillance, and psychological control, she realizes the most dangerous stories are the ones people tell themselves. Because someone is always writing the ending.
And by the time the waves crash against the rocky shores of Lake Superior once more, one version of the truth will survive.
