As I’m writing this, I feel like I could cry! This crazy road to publication, as you all know, has been marked by many highs and lows. But I didnt give up! The quiet and awkward girl, whom everyone dismissed as struggling to read and write, found solace in creating stories and big, layered worlds in her mind. And five years ago, after my dad passed away, I knew I needed to put pen to paper and bring one of these stories to life. It feels surreal because I can remember feeling so hopeless that it would never happen. All the tear-filled car rides, cries in the shower, and times I swore I was done because the rejection was too hard. Well, I got here!!! And I’m thrilled to say that my book, The Summer I Found You, is now available for pre-sale!

A recently divorced single mom returns to her family’s fixer-upper beach house and finds romance amidst the heartbreak—and truths buried under generations of lies—in this summertime romance perfect for fans of The Beach House and Nora Goes Off Script.
When Dahlia Newberry escapes her terrible marriage and returns to Long Island’s North Fork to put her family’s beach house on the market, she discovers the property has fallen into disrepair, and she has no idea how she’ll get it from fixer to fabulous in a month’s time.
Things start to look up when she discovers her neighbor is Noah, a handsome reality TV star known for his Hamptons-set home renovation series. Noah turns out to be quite handy and pitches in to help Dahlia with the renovations and, as chemistry sparks between them, her self-discovery too.
Meanwhile, Dahlia discovers a letter from her Aunt Lil, whose dying wish was for Dahlia to find a key that unlocks a mystery spanning three generations. Soon, Dahlia is unearthing mysterious clues buried in the garden, which threaten to upend everything she believes about her world.
The truth is supposed to set you free, but excavated secrets have a way of shattering an already fragile life—unless Dahlia can find a way to bloom into the woman she was always meant to be.
This debut novel by an accomplished home design influencer is perfect for fans of HGTV shows and steamy summer romances.
