My Book!
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.
I am a design blogger, iced coffee enthusiast, a writing podcast superfan, a reformed perfectionist, and a late bloomer trying to live my best second act.
When I am not busy being a mom, you’ll find me stirring up trouble with my small group of girlfriends, rummaging through thrift stores and antique stores, binge-watching Netflix, or curled up with a good beach read.
In 2020 I finished my first novel, THE HOUSE THAT FIXED ME, as a tribute to my late sister. Redefining what it means to be a late bloomer and how seasons can sometimes surprise you.
I write small, beach town romances set in the Hamptons and the North Fork of Long Island with good design and lots of heart. Think Something’s Gotta Give meets Something Borrowed. I’ve just finished my second novel, HOUSE IN BLOOM. It’s set in a small coastal town with a reality television influence, incredible old house details, and beautiful, storied gardens with love at the center of it all.
