I have been a little busy this summer….finishing my next book! Yes, that’s right. It’s finally set for pre-order. But first, the kicker. I’ve turned it into book one of a series. The Women of Boone County Series, to be exact. I’m writing each book in honor of one of the phenomenal women from the quaint town of Boone County, Texas. Their stories are real, full of hard-to-look-in-the-mirror moments, heroic, with some hope and love. I invite everyone to join in to begin the first book, Her Secret Garden, releasing October 3, 2023.
So you know I write each of my books with some characters in mind, right? Well, this is Abigail and Ryan.
Aren’t they the cutest? Well, imagine them in Boone County, Texas. Once high school sweethearts until Abigail moved away without as much as a text to say goodbye. Now, 17 years later and she’s back. And Ryan’s still in love with her. But there’s something that will keep them a part. Is it her fiancĂ©, Joe Batista? That would make sense. If she hadn’t returned his ring before going home. But Joe isn’t finished with their story yet. Is it Tessa Snow? Wait, who is Tessa Snow?
Find out soon, when you show some amazing love and preorder, Her Secret Garden. You won’t be sorry. 🙂 Here is the summary:
Thirty-five year old Abigail’s midlife crisis first appeared as an innocent trade in of her Ford Taurus for a two seater BMW. Then she resigned as lead prosecutor and took a job at Patty Cakes Bakery heating cinnamon buns. But no one was more shocked at her behavior than her fiancé, Joe Batista, when she gave back his engagement ring without a reason why.
They say your past always catches up to you and one day Abigail’s past showed up on her porch wearing Converse shoes and holding an old picture of her and her high school sweetheart, Ryan Jameson. Tessa Snow had traveled from Florida to Maine to meet her biological mother and the next stop was Boone, Texas to meet her dad, the guy in the picture.
Ryan Jameson, as fate would have it, just returned home and was settling in as the most eligible doctor at Mercer Hospital. He hadn’t seen Abigail in 18 years, when she disappeared with her parents without as much as a text message saying goodbye.
It was a good thing Abigail got fired on day three of her bakery job, because she had to make it to Texas before Tessa, in order to tell Ryan the reason she left was because she was pregnant. But when she got there, it was harder than she thought; their chemistry together had grown stronger. And nothing would kill it faster than the truth about Tessa Snow.
Enjoy this weekend, friends!! You’re the best.
