Introducing My New Book: Cherrywood Inn – Let Me Love You
There’s a special kind of magic in stories that blend healing, hope, and unexpected romance—and I’m thrilled to share that my newest book, Cherrywood Inn: Let Me Love You, is officially here.
This story follows Sara Whitmore, a once-renowned New Orleans chef who’s traded the chaos of her past for the quiet refuge of Cherrywood Inn. She’s determined to rebuild her life on her own terms, until Randy Duncan walks back into her world and stirs up feelings she isn’t sure she’s ready to face.
What begins as a gentle reconnection soon becomes a journey of trust, courage, and love in the most unexpected place. If you enjoy small-town charm, heartfelt second chances, and characters who feel real enough to sit and chat with, this book was written with you in mind.
I can’t wait for you to step inside Cherrywood Inn, meet Sara and Randy, and experience the heart of their story. Thank you for being on this journey with me.
I am excited for the fall season. It is going to be a great season and a refreshing time for me. I am sharing my top five things I am excited about this fall.
Season Changeover
Over the years, I have grown to love fall scenery. The leaves, the change in how the river flows, and the glow of the moon as it rises to the sky. I am looking forward to observing nature more closely, specifically the trees in my yard, and experiencing the path the leaves take.
Live Music
I love music. My favorites include R&B, Gospel, 80s Rock, and Jazz. I made a promise to myself earlier this year to do more of the things that I love. Finding joy in musical experiences is one of the things I enjoy. I look forward to going to a few concerts this fall, including a Jazz festival in November.
Fall TV Premiers
I have no clue when I am going to carve out time, but I am looking forward to seeing the creativity that comes from Tinseltown. I love scripted television shows that pull you in with mystery or intense drama. I typically write an official TV Review Guide that evaluates all the new shows on TV. That piece is one of my favorite articles to write, and I am looking forward to the excitement of exploring new creativity.
Football Season
Both my sons play football, and they are really coming into their own. My middle-schooler often comes home excited about successes in practice, and my high-schooler has started getting more playing time and has started creating long-term goals for himself. While I do not call myself a football fan, and can barely understand the simple rules of the game, I am my son’s #1 fan! I am looking forward to screaming, jumping, and cheering them on the field and off.
Book Launch
Cherrywood Inn: Let Me Love You will be released this fall. This is the second book in my Cherrywood Inn Series. This story fulfils my wish to write a love story that is longing to be discovered. I will save the official teaser for my cover reveal, but working on this novel with my editor has been a wonderful experience, and I cannot wait to share this story with everyone in the world.
