A Love Worth Waiting For

I'm excited to introduce book one in my Nearlake series—A Love Worth Waiting For—which is available today!

It is set in a fictional town in Idaho called Nearlake. I love to write about small towns and friendships.

A Love Worth Waiting For is the first book in a three-book series centered on three friends: Sadie, Charlie, and Anne.

This book is about Sadie.
