Now that it’s summer, who’s ready for vacation? I’ve partnered with two other authors on a new romance series set in Kenyon Cove, Maine. Come join us! It’s a quaint seaside town with a big harbor, boats, and warmhearted people. We’re writing a series of connected novellas, and we hope you’ll fall in love with the town as we have. Although I’ve written many full-length novels, lately I’ve really enjoyed writing novellas of around 25,000 words. They’re just the right length for an evening on the porch or a chair by the ocean. I hope you have a wonderful summer!

Here’s a taste of the first book, Seaside Love Affair:

Audrey Coyle can never forget the Atlantic storm that claimed her father’s life off shore from Kenyon Cove, Maine. Because of their shared love of books, she honored her father’s memory by studying library science. When Kenyon Cove posts a head librarian job, Audrey takes it as a sign to go to her father’s hometown and heal by dedicating herself to expanding the library.

Martin Greene does things his own way building boats at the Kenyon Cove boat works without a blueprint or instructions. He loves his independence, but he sacrifices all his free time to his dream of opening his own boat building company. When a chance meeting introduces him to Audrey Coyle, Martin has to re-evaluate his beliefs about books and his own sense of independence. He finds that opening his heart is riskier than facing a wild ocean wave.
