Cherish - Sept 2023
A lot of readers who enjoyed Temptation have reached out wanting more Brook and Cassie. I thought their story was over. And while they are basking in their happily ever after, they've stepped into Cherish to help someone else find her true love.
Josie Lockner is granted a residency at the Wellington Beach Property - called Revere Estates in Goda, MA - a made up town that resembles Provincetown. Brook and Cassie picked her out of hundreds of applicants. The timing couldn't be better since Josie's future is cloudy and she has no backup plan. She's 23 and hungry and determined to make it as an artist in this world. Unfortunately, very few graduating artists can make a living out of commissioned art. But that isn't the point of this story. No. True love happens when you least expect it.
On her first day in Goda, Josie is completely drawn to a mysterious woman on the beach. Beautiful with a DO NOT THINK ABOUT APPROACHING ME ice queen vibe. So, naturally, Josie wants to get to know her. With help from Brook and Cassie during key moments of the summer, Josie makes bold moves to become a part of Olivia's closed off life.
This is a true beach read. Just a simple romance where characters you loved from Temptation return and you are given a peek into what's been going on with the Wellingtons - Cassie, Brook, Noah - and who could Ava possibly be??? Erica, the hilarious sister-in-law, plays an important role in this book, too.
I had to get this book out while I was grieving. My mother passed away at the end of last year and I still had to go through the motions of life (work, writing, living), while my heart was broken. I'm doing better, but it's been rough. I'm taking a break now. I had two book contracts - this one and Dreamer. Dreamer is in edits now so I have a bit of breathing room before the next book is due.
I hope you enjoy the return of the Wellingtons even though Cherish isn't their story. There are still a lot of tropes - age gap, financial gap, ice queen - to name a few.
Cherish is at the Bold Strokes Books's webstore Sept 1 and everywhere else Sept 12. I hope you enjoy!
