My journey as a romance author is deeply rooted in my personal experiences of love, loss, and resilience. The profound impact of the losses I have endured, including the passing of my grandparents and my parents, has shaped my perspective on life and love.

My own love story is one of healing and finding joy after heartache, and it mirrors the themes I explore in my novels.

As a survivor of grief and a believer in the power of love, I channel my experiences into crafting stories that resonate with the complexities and triumphs of the human heart. My writing is a testament to the idea that love can emerge from the most unexpected places, offering hope and healing. The one thing that can be learned from grief is that it’s a very personal experience and isn’t the same for every person.

Welcome to Buckeye Falls, where second chances mend broken hearts for these childhood

sweethearts. Wedding bells are ringing, but the sister of the groom is conflicted.

Fifteen years ago, Mallory Lawson “married” her childhood sweetheart, Beckett, in a pretend wedding

on his family’s apple farm. She treasures not only the memories, but the ring he put on her finger. The

trouble now, her brother, Evan, wants to put that family heirloom on his fiancée’s finger. Mallory

adores CeCe, but she struggles to get past her girlhood fantasies of Beckett swooping back into her life

with a certain ruby ring…

Beckett Fox is at a crossroads. After losing his grandfather, he’s listless and fearful of coming back to the family farm. There are too many memories, and most of them are tied to the love of his life, Mallory. He doesn’t even know if she remembers that fateful day when they were kids, playing make-believe under the apple trees, but he does. Now he’s back to help his buddy get married, and he hopes to find peace on the family farm, with Mallory by his side…

When the wedding planning kicks into high gear, Beckett and Mallory are thrust together as maid of

honor and best man. The more time they spend together, the harder it is to ignore the sparks between

them. Beckett fears Evan won’t support him dating Mallory, so the pair date in secret. But true love

won’t stay hidden forever…
