The curtain is finally rising! I am absolutely thrilled to announce that my brand-new novel, Scripted by the Seaside: Where Love Hides in the Wings is officially published and available to read right now on Amazon!

If you love small-town romance, an emotional slow burn, and a thrilling dash of mystery, then grab a warm cup of tea and settle in—this story was written just for you.

What is “Scripted by the Seaside” About?

The story follows Rina Fitch, who desperately needs a total reset button on life. Leaving behind the exhausting, stressful city streets of Boston, she takes a massive leap of faith and moves to the rugged, breathtaking coast of Quarter Moon Bay, Maine. As the new high school theater teacher, her plan is simple: keep her head down, survive, and build a quiet life entirely her own.

But her perfect fresh start hits an immediate, major snag: Chris Barlowe. Chris is the town’s golden-boy English teacher, and he is fiercely territorial over the drama department Rina just inherited. He doesn’t want to like this sharp, guarded newcomer with the wild strawberry curls and walls a mile high.

However, as auditions begin for the annual school play, their initial friction ignites into an undeniable attraction. Working side by side under the hot stage lights, Chris realizes Rina isn’t a threat to his ambitions—she’s an absolute force of nature.

A Love Worth Waiting For... and a Shadow in the Dark

As Chris and Rina build a fragile, beautiful new love, a dangerous element creeps in. A stalker is tracking Rina’s every move, turning her dream of safety into a terrifying nightmare.

When a dark obsession turns violently real, Chris and his tight-knit Barlowe family must work together to protect the woman he loves. With opening night looming and her life on the line, Rina faces the ultimate choice: will she run away again, or will she stand her ground and let the curtain rise?
