Serenity Voyage Series - Book 1
Escape to St. Kitts! A Sweeping Contemporary Romance Series Begins...
Maya needs a clean break. The bustling energy of London, the stinging memory of a broken heart, and the suffocating secrets of her past are too much to bear. When the opportunity to sail away on the Serenity presents itself, she doesn't hesitate. But as the catamaran anchors in the vibrant harbor of St. Kitts, Maya soon realizes that leaving her past behind isn't as simple as setting sail.
Book 1 - Café by the Sea
The Shoreline Shops Collection
Welcome to The Shoreline—where the brick walkways are warm, the coffee is fresh, and love is always in season.
Escape to a sunlit pedestrian lane by the sea, where five unique shops stand side by side under the glow of evening string lights. In this charming coastal town, neighbors become family, business partners become soulmates, and every sunset brings a new promise.
The Shoreline Shops Collection is a series of five interconnected clean romance novellas. While each book features a complete, standalone love story with its own happily-ever-after, they are woven together by a shared community and the season-long planning of the town's massive End-of-Summer Festival.
