Books

Filled with small-town charm & big secrets. 

Asked to write a book proposal for a big-time publisher, quasi-social media celebrity and creator of the blog Top Five, Quinn Sheridan, needs to escape the fast pace of her city life. She heads to her aunts’ river house, where a quiet life is sure to allow her imagination to flow.

But with the arrival of broken, blue-eyed Witt, Belle Creek proves to be anything but simple.

High on a guilt trip, Witt Spencer moves to Belle Creek for the summer to care for his ailing dad, a man he hasn’t had the time or patience to visit, or even talk to, in years, a man whose phone number he doesn’t even recognize.

While Quinn battles demons like imposter syndrome and fear of abandonment, all stemming from her mother’s death, Witt struggles with a few of his own. As a young boy, being deserted by an unforgiving mother and raised by his all-too-sweet father, he finds himself unable to address his feelings of dislike and disappointment.

When Witt tries to engage Quinn in conversation, he doesn’t expect to fall into her lap—let alone into love.

When Quinn tries to keep Witt far away, she doesn’t expect him to pop into her head at every waking moment.

A hope-filled book with small-town charm and big secrets, Top Five delves into family relationships, love, and loss and will have you cheering for two broken souls to find their happily-ever-after.

People can change…like the colors in a sunset.

When young widow Ali Mitchell Ford heads to Butterfly Bay for the summer, she expects peace, quiet, and time to rejuvenate. Instead, she runs head-on into the hurricane force of her mother when she discovers the house her parents insisted she rent, the grandest home on the island, comes with its own built-in-man, Brooker Knight, a wealthy entrepreneur who hopes to heal the gaping hole in his own heart.

Ali’s first instinct is to run. But to where? Living with her parents would be a heart attack in the making and she has already sublet her place. Out of options, she is forced to endure the Great Summer Share with Brooker and his soon-to-be fiancée, the newest face of a luxury makeup empire.

Can a mystical, elderly woman, a furry rescue dog, and the healing waters of Butterfly Bay help Ali and Brooker recognize true transformation can only come when the desire for change exceeds the comforts of what is keeping them stuck, or will they be strangled by grief forever?
