Welcome to Cedar Falls
A Summer to Stay
Cedar Falls Book 1
Ten years ago, Ava Hanson left Cedar Falls—and Owen Fowler—behind.
Now she’s back, grieving her dad, packing up his cabin, and counting the days until she can return to New York and the career she’s sacrificed everything for. Her plan is simple: don’t stay long, don’t reopen old wounds, and definitely don’t fall for Owen again.
But Owen isn’t the boy she left behind.
He’s a devoted single dad, the owner of the town’s beloved coffee shop, and the unlikely buyer of the bed-and-breakfast they once dreamed of restoring together. Seeing Ava again stirs up everything he thought he’d accepted, including the future he stopped believing was possible.
With grief closing in and sparks that were never truly extinguished, Ava must decide whether ambition is worth the loneliness it costs, or if the life she ran from is the one she’s been searching for all along.

Cedar Falls Book 2 — available now!
Laylah McPherson never planned to be a runaway bride.
She definitely never planned to crash into a moose on a stormy night and end up stranded in a lakeside town she’s never heard of. But when her car needs months of repairs, she begs the town’s infuriating (infuriatingly attractive) bar owner for a job while she hides from the life she left at the altar.
Lucas Hanson has no interest in being anyone’s hero.
A betrayal cost him his career, and he’s rebuilt a quieter life in Cedar Falls – one with no drama, and definitely no room for a bubbly socialite who has too many ideas, wears too much pink, and somehow convinces him to adopt a stray bar cat.
Unfortunately, she’s impossible to say no to.
Just as Laylah starts to build a life that’s finally her own, the controlling past she escaped catches up to her. She’ll have to choose: the life that was chosen for her … or risk everything for the one she’s chosen for herself.
A slow-burn, small town romance with a grumpy bar owner, a runaway bride, and one bed neither of them asked for.
