Summer Fun

Hi friends, 

Thanks so much for joining me today! It’s my first summer living in Florida. We moved last September and, yes, for all you amazingly kind folks out there—we are back in our house. I’ll be sharing pics and a full update soon. We’re so very grateful but experiencing our first summer in the state has been fabulous (minus breaking my foot but that’s another story). 

We love visiting all the quaint towns around us for weekly celebrations on Friday nights where shops stay open late, they play music, food trucks set up, vendors come in to sell arts, crafts and curiosities and they rope off Main Street. Each Friday is in a different small town. 

Another favorite is every night after work and writing, my hubby and I take off for our neighborhood beach. We bring something to snack on and watch the sunset. It’s breathtaking. 

But my favorite part is kicking back and reading a good book on the beach. 

What am I reading? Here are a few fun ones I recommend: 

She’s intent on investigating a sinister plot of revenge, and it will take all her courage to survive.

Air Marshal Kristine Duncan is not on duty when a hijacker attempts to seize control of the plane she and her friends are on as they head out on a much-needed vacation. Jumping into action and aided by FBI Special Agent Andrew Ross, Kristine thwarts the attack and the plane lands safely. But as the investigation into the incident gets underway, Kristine and Andrew are confused at every step. Nothing about the investigation goes as it should, and each layer they peel back just reveals another layer of perplexity.

As the two work together to navigate a web of deception, blame, and personal reckoning, they find there’s more to this story than meets the eye–and more to love and admire about each other. They’ll have to put their skills to the test–and their hearts on the line–to unravel the truth and ensure that justice prevails.

Maggie Reynolds is finally ready for love again—until the past shows up in the form of someone who may or may not be the late husband she thought she’d lost.

Five years after her husband’s death, Maggie is finally ready to let go of him and the dreams she had for their future. A summer at Seabrook, where she and Ethan first became childhood sweethearts, seems the perfect time and place to find closure. Plus, she gets to spend time with his family, the Reynoldses, whom she loves like her own.

Unbeknownst to Maggie, her brother-in-law, Josh Reynolds, has been in love with her since they first met all those years ago. But his brother ultimately won Maggie’s heart, and Josh’s unrequited love has ruined all his relationships. If Maggie is ready to move on, then Josh is ready to lay it all on the line and come clean about his true feelings for her.

But his plans soon get put on hold when, shortly after Maggie returns to Seabrook, she runs into a man who could pass for Ethan’s twin. But he disappears into the amusement park crowd before she can confront him.

The event rattles Maggie, stirs up impossible questions, and sends Josh and her on a quest to discover the man’s true identity. But their search ends up raising more questions than answers—and soon Maggie isn’t sure she wants those answers after all.
