Ivey Pierce is an explorer, and thanks to her career as a wildlife biologist, she does not stay stationary for long. But when her parents die in a terrible accident, and her childhood home is left vacant for two years, she returns to the tattered memories concealed inside the house on Clifton Bay. Everything is the same: the salty scent, lush scenery, and talkative town. Yet, one thing is new-the man across the bay, whose dock faces hers. Each evening, she watches her new neighbor sit with his dog and a cup of coffee, then disappear during the day. He is the only person who does not know her business, and she knows nothing about him. It is not until she gets hurt and discovers he is Weston Turner, the new Nurse Practitioner in their coastal town. Soon enough, they are swept up in one another's current, trying to stay afloat. ************* Short novel [roughly 55-60k words] Copyright of Anna Steffey All rights reserved.

What happens when the star baseball player hits a home run into the art studio window? ***** All Sadie Lane Garner needed to make herself happy was a canvas and paintbrush. With copious projects due and little studio time, she volunteers to clean the art building in exchange for after-hour use of the university art supplies. But, she doesn't foresee the loud baseball games outside the workshop windows, the near-perfect view of the field, or the sight of devious, dark-haired athlete, Elijah Preston, known for his charm and home runs. And it doesn't take long for Sadie to find out he also has the perfect view of her. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Completed, 80-85k words Stand Alone novel [previously named The Art of Falling] Cover photo from Pexels edited on Canva Copyright of Anna Steffey All rights reserved.

Valia Ariti never asked for the spotlight. That was always Bryce's world, Capesview's golden boy, star wide receiver, and everyone's favorite headline. She's spent her life in his shadow, and transferring to his university was supposed to be her way out. A fresh start. A name of her own. But from the moment she sets foot on campus, she's still just Bryce's sister. And then there's Arcas Briarwood, Bryce's best friend, Capesview's NFL-bound quarterback, and the one person who knows exactly how to get under her skin. Arrogant, magnetic, and impossible to ignore, he's everything Valia swore she'd avoid. But fate doesn't care about her rules. Thrown into each other's orbit, Valia begins to see beyond the charm and perfectly calculated smirk. There's more to Arcas, something real, something raw, and it terrifies her more than she's willing to admit. She wasn't supposed to let anyone in. She definitely wasn't supposed to fall for him. But sometimes, the person you swore off is the only one who truly sees you. And maybe, just maybe, the shadow she's been trying to outrun... is exactly where she was meant to stand all along. Book 1 In the Reputation Series can be read as a standalone
