Again this year, I’m delighted to be included in the Cook Memorial Public Library’s Local Author Fair. I’ll be at Aspen Drive Library in Vernon Hills, Illinois from 2:30pm until 4pm, selling paperback copies of Tiny Island Summer and Tidal Patterns.

I’d love to meet you if you want to stop by!

Thanks to her job, Darcy Rogus has been relocated to the middle of nowhere. But with her determination to succeed and her best friend by her side, nothing is going to sidetrack Darcy achieving her career goals, especially not a handsome and brooding next-door neighbor.

Ben Hampton has put his life on hold to take care of his ailing mother, and he can’t let himself get distracted by anything, even if those distractions come with enticing hazel eyes.

When a misunderstanding has unexpected ramifications, Darcy and Ben can’t get out of each other’s way fast enough. Staying away is easier said than done on an island of fewer than three hundred people.

Elizabeth Shaw is the preeminent, and only, planner at the historic beach resort on an island off the Georgia coast. She’s sure she’ll land the newly created role overseeing all major events. Then she’ll get a raise and won’t be forced to leave.

Mark Edwards doesn’t need any more stress. He’s ready to slow down and enjoy the tiny seaside town he calls home. His boss pushes him to apply for the new management position and he agrees. After a decade in catering, he’s sure he can do the events job without any trouble.

Neither counted on the other getting in the way.
