A Million Junes

In the small town of Five Fingers, Michigan, Jack “June” O’Donnell has always been warned to stay away from the Angert family.

However,  when June collides—quite literally—with Saul Angert, sparks fly, and everything June has known is thrown into chaos. Saul is a gruff, sarcastic, but seemingly harmless boy who has returned to town after three mysterious years.

As their connection deepens, June begins to question her family’s long-standing feud with the Angerts and the reasons behind her late father’s intense hatred.

After all, the O’Donnells and the Angerts may have mythic legacies, but for all the tall tales they weave, both founding families are tight-lipped about what caused the century-old rift between them. As June and Saul grow closer, the supernatural elements of Five Fingers, including magic, ghosts, and coywolves, seem to be conspiring to reveal the truth about the harrowing curse that has plagued their bloodlines for generations. 

Now, June must confront her own family’s history and the legacy of her beloved father. She faces the difficult decision of whether it is time for her and the O’Donnell lineage to break free from the past and let go.

The revelations that await June will challenge everything she thought she knew, forcing her to reevaluate her identity, her family, and her own place in the intertwined fates of the O’Donnells and Angerts.

The Love That Split the World

Natalie Cleary finds herself at a crossroads, where she must take a leap of faith and embrace the unknown in order to forge a new world alongside the boy she loves.

Her last summer in her small Kentucky hometown begins with a touch of magic, but soon Natalie starts witnessing unsettling occurrences. She catches glimpses of the “wrong things”.  They’re just momentary glimpses at first—her front door is red instead of its usual green, and there’s a preschool where the garden store should be. But then her whole town disappears for hours, fading away into rolling hills and grazing buffalo, and Nat knows something isn’t right. 

In the midst of her confusion, she encounters a kind and enigmatic apparition she affectionately calls “Grandmother,” who delivers a profound message: “You have three months to save him.”

The following night, beneath the radiant lights of the high school football field, Natalie meets Beau, a captivating young man who seems to halt time and erase the world around them. At that moment, nothing else matters except Natalie and Beau.

Beach Read

•  New York Times Best Seller
• Goodreads Choice Award Nominee for Best Romance (2020)

Beach Read is the story of two romance writers, one romance writer who no longer believes in love and a literary writer stuck in a rut engaged in a summer-long challenge that may just upend everything they believe about happily ever afters.

January Andrews, an optimistic romance writer, battles her own heart while slogging through a bout of writer’s block. Looking to start anew, she retreats to her late father’s beach cottage on Lake Michigan for the summer. While in the new surroundings, her neighbor, who happens to be her college rival, Augustus Everett, resides in a lake house for the season.

Gus is a literary fiction author known for his serious and intense novels.

One hazy evening, they strike a deal to force them out of their creative ruts: Augustus will spend the summer writing something happy, and January will pen the next Great American Novel.

She’ll take him on field trips worthy of any rom-com montage, and he’ll take her to interview surviving members of a backwoods death cult (obviously). Everyone will finish a book, and no one will fall in love. Read Beach Read Reviews on Goodreads

Nora Stephens’ life revolves around books. She is far from the type of heroine found in novels. She’s not plucky, laidback, or the type to swoon over romantic encounters.   In fact, the only people Nora is a heroine for are her clients. She’s skilled at securing lucrative deals for her clients and caring for her younger sister, Libby. 

When Libby insists on a sisters’ trip to Sunshine Falls, North Carolina, Nora reluctantly agrees, hoping for a small-town escape. Yet, instead of idyllic meadows, or run-ins with a handsome country doctor or bulging-forearmed bartender, Nora keeps bumping into Charlie Lastra a brooding and bookish editor from her city life. While their repeated meetings may seem like a meet-cute but their history suggests otherwise—they’ve met before, and it has never been cute. 

As fate repeatedly brings them together through a series of unlikely coincidences, their encounters start to unravel the carefully crafted narratives they’ve constructed about themselves. Through unexpected circumstances and shared experiences, Nora and Charlie begin to question the stories they’ve written for their lives and discover one plot twist that challenges their perceptions.

Harriet and Wyn had been the epitome of a perfect couple ever since they met in college—they go together like salt and pepper, honey and tea, lobster and rolls. Except, now-  for reasons they’re still not ready to discuss.

Six months ago they broke up but still haven’t told their best friends.  This is how they find themselves sharing the largest bedroom at the Maine cottage, still being a couple. 

The cottage is their annual respite from the world, where for one vibrant, blue week they leave behind their daily lives; have copious amounts of cheese, wine, and seafood; and soak up the salty coastal air with the people who understand them most.

Only this year, Harriet and Wyn resort to weaving an intricate web of lies while trying not to notice how desperately they still want each other. They can’t stand to break their friends’ hearts, so they’ll play their parts.

Harriet will be the driven surgical resident who never starts a fight, and Wyn will be the laid-back charmer who never lets the cracks show.

The narrative of Happy Place unfolds in both past and present timelines, providing glimpses into Harriet and Wyn’s initial encounter and the evolution of their close-knit group of lifelong friends. Read my review of Happy Place.
