💔 WHERE YOU LEFT ME
Book One - The Birch Harbor Series
Second chance · Secret baby · Small town ·
He was Birch Harbor's golden boy.
She was the mouthy kid from Maple Street.
He never stood a chance.
🌊 THEN - Summer 2020
FLYNN DONOVAN remembers Ivy Novak. Camp. Skinned knees. Attitude problem. He didn't think about her twice.
Then she walks back into his summer and she's not a kid anymore and he's fucked.
Golden boy. Future cop. Cocky as hell. The kind of guy who smiles and girls forget their own name. Never had to work for anything.
Ivy Novak is not easy.
Eighteen. Sharp. Trailer park. Doesn't laugh at his jokes. Doesn't blush when he turns it on. Looks at him like he's a minor inconvenience.
One summer. That's all it was supposed to be.
He fell. Badly. Like write-love-letters-on-twenty-dollar-bills badly.
(Flynn Donovan doesn't fall. Except apparently he does. Face first.)
Then she ended it. Parking lot. January. Three words.
There's someone else.
There wasn't.
🥊 NOW - Autumn 2025
A bullet puts Flynn on leave. His mom gets sick. Birch Harbor's golden boy comes home.
She's still there. Still mouthy. Still pulling pints at Owen's bar - his best friend's bar - like she didn't gut him five years ago.
IVY NOVAK is not the girl she was at eighteen.
Single mom. Two jobs. Raising her daughter, keeping her head down and her mouth - mostly - shut.
She broke Flynn Donovan's heart five years ago.
It broke hers too.
👶 And there's a kid.
Four years old. Frog boots. Chicken nuggets. No filter. Blue eyes. His blue eyes.
🖤 He thinks she wrecked him on purpose. She knows she had no choice.
The secret she's been carrying for four years is about to blow both their lives wide open.
💔 Two timelines. One secret. A four-year-old with a stuffed frog and a detective badge who's about to change everything.

When you truly love someone, you'll protect them and not yourself. So I did. No explanation. No reason. I just walked. I knew that Rex would never understand my reasons, or understand that I did it because I cared more about his feelings, than I did my own.

I couldn't ever let it destroy Rex. Now nine years on, I'm faced once again with the man that I deeply loved, who I will always deeply love.

Josette Wilde never imagined her happy ending would start with her house burning down. Once a hopeless romantic who believed in grand gestures and cinematic kisses, Jo learned the hard way that real life rarely follows a script. When the man she thought was her forever walked out the moment she told him she was pregnant, Jo was left to rewrite her story-this time as a single mother to a fearless little girl named Hannah. Years later, just as Jo lands the kind of job that could finally give them the life they deserve, disaster strikes-her home is destroyed in a freak accident, leaving her and Hannah with nothing but each other. With no place to go, Jo turns to the last person she ever expected to lean on: Mitchell Harris, her charming, fiercely protective childhood friend. He offers them a place to stay, and Jo accepts-grateful, but uneasy. She's been secretly crushing on him for the last couple of years, and living under the same roof only blurs the lines she's fought for years to keep in place. As Jo and Mitchell fall into an unexpected rhythm-shared meals, whispered laughter, stolen glances-the life Jo always dreamed of suddenly feels within reach. But just as her heart begins to hope again, the past shows up at her front door. Hannah's father wants back in, claiming he's ready to be a father and fix what he broke. Now, Jo is faced with an impossible choice: return to the familiar comfort of a love that once betrayed her, or risk everything on the man who just might be her forever-if she's brave enough to believe in a new beginning.Complete
Catching Avery
What do you get when you mix beer, tequila, and sexual fantasies? Don't ask. Avery With a great job, two of the greatest friends ever, a supportive brother, and an apartment all her own, Avery Ellis didn't have much to complain about. Well...if she could just ignore how every guy that she's ever been with has cheated on her, then she had nothing to complain about. Still, other than her love life, Avery's life was pretty uncomplicated. That is, until disaster strikes like lightning. Disaster = Nicholas Savage, her boss. Nicholas With a successful business, two of the most loyal friends ever, more money than he'll ever need, and the world pretty much at his fingertips, Nicholas Savage had no complaints. Well...if he didn't count his childhood and his trust issues, then he had nothing to complain about. Still, other than his issues with women, Nicholas' life was pretty magnificent. That is, until temptation crashes out of control. Temptation = Avery Ellis, his employee. Oh, the web we weave... With a girls' night that's turned into a disaster, and a guys' night that's turned into possible felonious kidnapping charges, Avery finds herself unable to resist everything that is Nicholas Savage, regardless of the fact that he is her boss. In a classic cliché, Avery and Nicholas end up breaking all the rules. Their connection is undeniable, but then so is the baggage they both carry around with them. With trust being an issue for both of them, everything comes crashing down all around them when old ghosts start showing up and begin haunting them both. Avery finds herself regretting that damn glitter and peanut butter fantasy, and Nicholas finds himself regretting being such a terrible wingman.
