The Sweet Stories of Maple Ridge:
The Rewritten Goodbye
Fifteen years ago, Mark Caldwell said goodbye, walked out of my life and straight into his career.
I thought I’d moved on, throwing myself into building my dream—a cozy little inn tucked in the hills of Vermont.
Then, out of nowhere, he shows up—still devilishly handsome—and on the very same day, a storm rips through my property.
Now, with the inn in ruins and my fall festival plans hanging by a thread, I’ve got two storms to deal with: one outside, and one standing right in front of me.
The last person I want to rely on is Mark, but with no other options, I’m stuck letting him back in.
Just when I think I’ve got things under control, he has the nerve to say what I once dreamed of hearing. Under a starry sky, he makes a vow that changes everything. Now, every nail hammered, and prayer shared brings us closer.
But after all this time, can I really trust him?
One thing’s for sure: if Mark wants to make things right, he’s going to have to do a lot more than fix what the storm destroyed.
Risking My Heart
Launches March 29th - Kindle Exclusive
He’s a widower who buried his heart in work. She’s the small-town spark he never saw coming.
In the quaint town of Maple Ridge, Vermont, where love drifts on the fresh mountain air, life is about to change for the vibrant yet hesitant Carrie Harris. When stoic widower Derek Gallagher arrives with a briefcase full of work and a heart closed to romance, sparks begin to fly in ways neither of them expected.
Watching her best friend Lauren and her new fiancé Mark embrace their second chance at love stirs something in Carrie—a longing she’s tried to ignore. Beneath Derek’s reserved demeanor lies an unyielding ache for the love he’s lost, but their shared passion for hiking begins to bridge the gap. Each trail brings them closer, breaking down walls built by grief and fear.
With Mark and Lauren determined to see them happy, a town-wide scavenger hunt becomes the backdrop for a love story that feels as fated as it is fragile.
But just as Carrie’s heart begins to hope, Derek retreats to the chaos of Manhattan, leaving her wondering if love can survive the distance between Maple Ridge’s peace and the city’s pull.
As the seasons change, so do their hearts. Will Derek risk everything to choose love, or will fear lead him back to a life alone?
