Author Note
This is my very first book. And I suppose I’d be lying if I said I didn’t sometimes think of all the things that I’d change if I could write it now, with a bit more experience under my belt, but … I actually don’t think I would.
A common thread among my author friends is that we all wish we could go back and write “that first book again.” When we were writing without sales numbers, reader reviews, or any scars.
I wrote this book to be the kind of romance novel I couldn’t find on the shelf: a non-small tow setting,, a ton of longing, a lot of banter, and an over-the-top happily-ever-after.
Also, its original title was Accidentally in Love. The publisher made me change it because they said it was too close to a paranormal series of theirs, but in my head, that will always be the better title.

A Little Excerpt
“You should know I’m not going to save this as a memento,” she said, waving the handkerchief defiantly in his face.
“What?”
"You know, like in the movies when the gentleman hands the distraught lady a handkerchief and he finds out at the end of the movie that she’s saved it for like decades as a keepsake?”
"What movie is that? It sounds awful.
on Book Covers
I’ve made the unusual decision not to show the official book covers on my official author website for a variety of reasons:
Most of my books have multiple cover versions depending on language/country; the US English version is only one of many.
Several of my cover designs were spot-on when they released, but are now quite dated even though the love stories within are timeless.
I have an unwavering love for neutral colors, and elegantly minimalist design. The current rom-com cover trend towards candy colored cartoons is not my jam.
