Known: A Second Chance Romance


She came home to start over… not to fall for the one man she never truly left behind.

Freshly divorced and more than a little bruised, Sarah Hartley returns to Maplewood determined to rebuild her life on her own terms. She expected judgment. She expected whispers. She didn’t expect Adam Walker.

Her childhood best friend is all grown up—and still the one person she’s never been able to forget. Adam has waited years for a second chance, and now that she’s back, he’s not letting her go.

In a town where gossip travels fast and the past never stays buried, they’ll have to navigate old wounds, new passion, and the kind of love that refuses to fade… if they’re brave enough to hold on.

Work in Progress


Lily Hartley wasn’t looking for anything complicated—especially not with the new deputy in town.

Gruff, guarded, and impossible to read, Ethan keeps his distance… except when it comes to his son. Unfortunately for him, Noah absolutely adores his kindergarten teacher—and seems determined to bring them together whether Ethan likes it or not.

What starts as resistance turns into something harder to ignore, and Lily finds herself caught between a crush she never planned for and a man who doesn’t seem ready to let anyone in.

The problem? Some walls aren’t meant to come down easily… even when someone’s worth the risk.

Planned Next in the Series


Emma Hartley only needed a date for one night—just long enough to keep her mom off her back at her sister’s wedding.

Enter the town mechanic—convenient, convincing, and exactly the kind of man who shouldn’t be taken seriously.

It’s supposed to be simple. Fake smiles. No strings. No feelings.

But somewhere between the pretending and the moments that feel a little too real, the lines start to blur… and walking away might not be as easy as they thought.
