ABOUT THE BOOK
You know what they say about best-laid plans…
After eight years away from home, my plans have been blown out of the water and I’m right back where I started. Carraway Falls. I never wanted to return to my small town life but I also didn’t plan to get laid off.
So here I am. Trying to figure out what’s next. Picking up the pieces isn’t easy but at least I’ve got the safety of my best friend’s couch to land.
Oh and did I mention my childhood friend/crush is still around. And he’s a ridiculously hot firefighter. Yeah, I don’t have time for that kind of distraction. I’m on a mission to rewrite my story and nothing’s going to get in the way.
I mean it. Nope. I’m trying to dust off and make some new plans. Jack Fuller’s sexy smile won’t veer me off course. Not even if a second chance at…whatever we had in the past is enticing.
Turning the Page is a full length, standalone small town novel. It is the first book in the Carraway Falls series.

EXCERPT
Lily doesn’t reply. Doesn’t say another word. She just leans in, tilting her head to one side, and kisses me. Slowly. Her lips brush against mine so lightly that I barely register it. But my body does. The moment her lips touch mine, my body ignites. She’s the match, and I’m the TNT.
And holy shit.
Fireworks.
The second I lean in to deepen the kiss, to pull her even closer, it ends. Far too soon, Lily pulls away, right out of my arms. The next thing I know, she’s got the passenger door open and is standing outside looking into the cab.
“I think I can do slow.” She regards me with a smirk. “I look forward to date two, Jack. Good night.” She blows me a kiss with her mitten-clad hand and closes the door on me without waiting for a response.
I drop my head back against the headrest and blow out a breath that actually comes out more like a groan. I’m in so much trouble with this woman. On the drive home, I’m no longer trying to convince myself that going slow is the right thing to do. No. My mind is firmly focused on the very cold shower I’ll be taking when I get home.
Fuck.

This is the authors debut book and I absolutely loved it. Its a second chance at love with two old friends who were close but never actually dated until now 8 years later, when Lily is back in town.
Jack always knew she was meant for the big city so as hard as it was he never told her how he felt. When Lily loses everything in the big city she goes back to her small town and spends time with her two best friends while she decides what to do with her life.
In town she reconnects with Jack, and friends in her town and has to decide what her future will be.
This was a wonderfully written story and I adored every single character. I adored Jack, and I loved Lily and I cannot wait to read more about Cooper, Chloe and Elise.
If you love friends to lovers, second chance at love and small town living then you will love this story.
