I am excited to finally share a glimpse of my upcoming book, the first in a brand new romance series that holds a very special place in my heart. This story is rooted in love, family, and the kind of second chances that arrive when you least expect. While I cannot reveal too much just yet, I can promise a heartfelt journey filled with emotion, connection, and hope.

What Inspired This Story

The inspiration behind this upcoming book came from the idea that love is not always planned. Sometimes it returns quietly. At the center of the story is Lori, a driven woman navigating career success, family bonds, and unfinished feelings from her past. Her grandmother’s wish becomes the catalyst that brings everything into motion, including a relationship that begins as pretend but slowly feels very real.

What Readers Can Expect

Readers can look forward to a romantic novel layered with warmth, humor, and meaningful relationships. Set against the vibrant backdrop of Manhattan, the story blends romance, emotional growth, and strong characters.

Behind the Scenes

Writing this book has been an important part of my author journey. I will be sharing writing updates, visuals, and sneak peeks on Instagram as we move closer to this new book release.

Thank you for being part of this journey. I cannot wait to share this story with you soon.
