Eek! My first Goodreads GIVEAWAY! I honestly can’t believe it! Being an avid romance reader/listener for years, this feels surreal. And as an author, I am starting from scratch with everything. Part of that is terrifying, and the other is pretty exciting. If you’re on Goodreads, please follow me. I could use all the followers I can get.

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 that threaten to upend everything she believes about her world.
The truth is supposed to set her 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.

Wow, Jen, your new book sounds like the perfect antidote to my own sad, slightly dilapidated apartment! 😂 A fixer-upper beach house? Yes, please! And a romance with a *reality TV star*? Now Im officially hooked, even if my renovation involves organizing my sock drawer. Your advice about giving our home the gift of time is gold – my couch has been under renovation since 2018. Still, a little secret buried in my own garden might be my ancient, moldy cookbook collection… 😉 Good luck with the launch! Cant wait to see if the secrets unearthed are spicier than my leftover takeout! 🤣 #SummerRead #BookwormLife
