In 2016, I purchased a used bookstore that I renovated into a new and used bookstore with a coffee shop. It became a third place in our community. I have a great friend who is also an author, editor who I asked to do a Writers Workshop for me at the store. She agreed but only if I would take the workshop. I didn't see the benefit but did it anyway only to find out I enjoyed it. She said after one of my assignments that I should really continue to write the story because it was very good. So I did. I've always been a reader since I was very young.

The day hot-headed Abby Carter’s heart returns to its normal rhythm when the Leading Ladies (her ride-or-die friends) tell her she’s done the right thing. She just blew up her carefully curated life in Chicago. She quit her job. Come home to Logan’s Creek, they tell her, where they’re all waiting. Her spirits lift; she is, after all, a small-town girl, and the big city has worn her down. But then she remembers she hasn’t told her laidback boyfriend (no labels) Ian. Then there is her first love, Josh who she runs into after she moves back home. .Josh is running for mayor. Abby needs a job, so the two make a deal. Abby will run his campaign. A win/win, right? Not so fast. The current mayor is as crooked as a corkscrew and is willing to do anything to win. If that means undermining Josh and threatening Abby to step away from the campaign, then so be it. In the meantime, Ian decides Abby means more to him than he realized. And maybe, just maybe, their casual arrangement wasn’t the best idea. He shows up in Logan’s Creek, intent on winning her back. He may even be willing to commit. Stranger things have happened. But then there is the old Mayor Thornton. He’s ready to take on Josh running against him and plans on winning. Regardless of the cost to Logan’s Creek.
