Book 1
Gilmore Girls meets The Home Edit—at the beach—with a revenge glow-up, an estranged daughter, and one flannel-wearing contractor who knows his way around a power drill.
Melissa Radford has made a career out of staying in control. But when her perfectly curated Manhattan life implodes, she heads to Beachwood Bay to flip her late grandmother’s crumbling cottage—and fast. Her plan? Renovate, sell, and get back to the city before the salt air ruins her blowout.
The locals have other plans.
Especially Dawson Evans, the grumpy, gorgeous contractor with calloused hands and zero time for high-maintenance city girls. But Melissa’s not just any city girl. And underneath all her spreadsheets and sarcasm, there’s a woman he can’t stop thinking about.
With her rebellious daughter in tow, nosy neighbors playing matchmaker, and the beach house determined to expose every crack in her carefully constructed facade, Melissa might just discover that the life she tried to escape is the one worth rebuilding.
She came to renovate a cottage. Beachwood Bay might just renovate her heart.

Book 2
What happens when you mail love letters to your exes for fun? Chaos. Obviously.
Harper thought it would be funny. After one too many margaritas, she actually mailed the cringey, unsent love letters from high school to all her exes. Call it closure. Call it cathartic. Call it a joke.
But now the exes are back—in person.
There’s the one who ghosted her.
The one who proposed.
The one-night stand she’d rather erase.
And bad boy Ben Langston—the first love she never got over, back in town after years away, broader, more mellow, and impossible to ignore.
Suddenly Harper’s quiet seaside café is ground zero for ex-boyfriend drama, a ruthless developer who wants her lease, and the town gossip newsletter putting her humiliation on blast. Everyone else seems to be pairing off, and Harper’s convinced she’ll end up alone with only a stray cat—or twenty—for company.
But when it comes to love, sometimes the hardest person to forgive is yourself.
Perfect for fans of Beach Read, Gilmore Girls, and To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before, The Ex List is a salty, sun-kissed small-town romcom full of banter, chaos, and the sweetest second chance.
Book 3
She came home to escape humiliation. She wasn’t expecting goats, grudges… or her first love.
When NYC sommelier Bianca Serrano gets dumped live on morning television—yes, dumped, as in “we’re done” between weather and sports—she does what any mortified woman would do and flees to her quirky seaside hometown of Beachwood Bay.
Unfortunately, that’s where her estranged mother runs a goat yoga retreat and tourists buy candles with names like Coastal Sage Rage.
Her plan? Hide out in a guesthouse, swear off men, and sip wine in peace.
What she doesn’t plan on:
Being assigned “wine pairing” duty with a goat named Gwyneth Paltrow
Running smack into Noah Holt—the fisherman with salt in his hair, a grudge in his heart, and revenge in his eyes
Realizing her old flame has aged like a fine wine—complex, smooth, and far too tempting
Now stuck planning a town fundraiser with the man she once ghosted, Bianca has two choices:
Keep pretending she’s totally fine…
Or finally uncork the truth about why she left—and what it might mean to stay.
A sun-soaked, laugh-out-loud small-town romcom filled with goat yoga shenanigans, seaside sparks, and one unforgettable second chance at love.
Welcome back to Beachwood Bay—where the gossip’s salty, the romance is slow-burn, and the wine is always waiting.

Book 4
She came home to fix the family bookstore. She didn’t plan on rewriting her own story.
Ava Monroe has a five-year plan, a color-coded calendar, and zero time for chaos. But when her eccentric mother retires without warning and hands over the keys to their crumbling seaside bookshop, Ava is forced to leave her high-powered city law job behind and return to the one place she swore she’d never live again: Beachwood Bay.
The bookstore is falling apart. The staff is a mix of unpaid cousins and a goat. And next door? Lucas Moretti—flirty, infuriating, annoyingly charming Lucas—has turned his once-empty café into the coziest book bar on the boardwalk. The same Lucas who’s been harboring a high school crush on Ava since the days of flip phones and Homecoming.
She’s here to clean up the mess, sell the store, and get back to real life. He’s here to remind her what real life is supposed to feel like.
With rival book clubs, accidental poetry readings, and one dangerously swoony slow burn, Beachwood Bay is about to get a new chapter—and maybe, just maybe, a love story worth staying for.
Welcome back to Beachwood Bay—where drama is shelved alphabetically, forearms are weaponized, and love always shows up one plot twist too late.
Coming May 2026!
