SURPRISE! I Kept a Secret... Actually, TWO! | Double Release Day is HERE!

Hiya, hiya, hiya, my wonderful lovelies!

Okay, deep breaths, because I’ve been keeping not one, but TWO huge secrets… and today, they are both officially out in the world! That’s right! It’s a DOUBLE BOOK RELEASE DAY! 😭✨📚

I am practically vibrating with a mix of terror and pure, unfiltered joy to announce that the Cliffside Connections series has officially begun. I’ve poured every single ounce of my heart into this world, and I am so ridiculously excited for you to finally meet these characters.

First up, the book that started it all…

For Sale Baby Shoes Never Worn is LIVE!

Some treasures hold more than just memories. This story is about Liam, a sudden single dad just trying to keep his head above water, and Thea, a compassionate antique shop owner who is pulled into his world by a cryptic ad for a pair of vintage baby shoes.

What starts as a hunt for answers about a century-old mystery quickly becomes so much more. It’s a story about healing, hope, and the undeniable connection that forms when you’re fighting for a shared future. Early readers are already saying it beautifully weaves together healing and hope and that it’s a sparkling debut that blends heart, mystery, and charm. I have to admit, my heart completely melted when one reader said that Liam’s little girl, Tally, "completely stole my heart." Mine too! 😉

This story is packed with emotion, a dash of danger, and the kind of found family that defines Cliffside. And the best part? It is officially LIVE and available to buy on Amazon or to read for FREE in Kindle Unlimited!

But wait… there’s more!

SURPRISE! Meet the Prequel: His One Exception!

Because I am apparently a little bit crazy and ran on a mad fit of creative energy, I decided to write a prequel novella! In a world of secrets, the biggest risk is the truth.

His One Exception takes you back ten years before the events of For Sale Baby Shoes Never Worn and introduces you to the brilliant and demanding CEO, Gus Falk, and the mysterious woman who walks into his office, Juliette Dubois. This is a quick, high-stakes read full of corporate espionage, forbidden attraction, and secrets that could shatter everything.

One of my amazing early readers said: “I picked this up because it was an easy, low-commitment, 80+ page prequel novella - but honestly, I would’ve happily read another 200 pages. I love love love a strong FMC, and Juliette is an absolute weapon!!!”

I couldn’t agree more! And as a special treat to celebrate the launch, you can grab this prequel for only 99c on Amazon!

A Little Heart-to-Heart & A Huge Thank You

Okay, can I be real with you guys for a second? The fact that both of these books are releasing today is a legitimate miracle, and it’s all thanks to one person. I have to give the world’s biggest, most heartfelt shout-out to my incredible publishing partner and editor. When I threw this surprise prequel at her just a couple of weeks ago, she didn’t even blink. The burnout is real, you guys, and she has worked tirelessly to make this happen. She is the magic behind the curtain, and none of this would exist without her.

Writing these stories has been my entire world. I wanted to build a place where fictional characters become your best friends, where community means something, and where found family is as tight as blood. It’s idealistic and feels good, because I want my books to put hope and heart back into the world. If I can’t change the world, I will build it in Cliffside.

And the good news is, I’m already deep into writing the next book in the series! It’s going to be delicious, with all the feel-good romance, suspense, and emotion you’re coming to expect from Cliffside.
