A Love For A Lifetime

I'm excited to introduce book two in my Nearlake series— A Love For A Lifetime —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 For A Lifetime is the second book in a three-book series centered on three friends: Sadie, Charlie, and Anne. This book is about Charlie.
