A new day, a new year, a fresh start — the whole bowl of cherries …
Whatever the pleasures in store for you this year, may you enjoy them in full.
Announcing Midnight Beach
Drum roll! Midnight Beach is here, hot off the presses yesterday!
While Midnight Beach is the second in my Escape to the Coast series, following Summer Beach, these books may be read in any order.
Midnight Beach: the blurb
How long will true love wait?
In scenic Burradeer Bay, the midnight beach keeps secrets.
When a plan to sail away with her forbidden love goes awry, Nola waits faithfully for Kento’s return.
Decades later, after one too many clashes with Bronte, her high school dropout niece, Nola questions her own life choices, and flees.
A distinguished man arrives, and an antique coral ring links the past with the future.
But remorseful Bronte and frenemy Jasper can’t find Nola.
Will Nola miss her second chance at love?
Midnight Beach is a small town beach read and a tale of forbidden love and soul mates, featuring two love stories for the price of one!

Some sweet free and affordable reads
It’s always a pleasure to help promote the works of other authors you might enjoy, and this month, I’m pleased to feature Cathy Shouse’s free book, Her Billionaire Cowboy’s Twin Heirs: Christmas in Fair Creek.
Here’s Cathy’s blurb:
All she’s ever wanted was another baby and he’s got two that landed unexpectedly in his life. He’s wounded by a bad break-up with someone only interested in his money.
Single Mom Annie York and eight-year-old Chloe live above the diner, where she works for her cousin. She’s given up on finding love and is hiding a secret. She’s a subpar housekeeper, in the extreme. When Annie has a surprise reunion with Caleb Galloway from high school, they must join forces to care for his sister’s twin babies.
He’s a cowboy with everything in its place. She has no idea where anything is. But seeing Annie with his niece and nephew has him wondering whether he belongs right next to her. Can Caleb and Annie find a way to become a family and have a happily-ever-after in their future this Christmas?
