For Emily, writing about love is easy, but experiencing it for herself is something else altogether. This is especially true when the focus of her heart is the same woman she ghosted more than twenty years ago.
Sarah is smart, beautiful, and just as stubborn as Emily remembers. Considering the fact they’ve spent more time apart than they did as friends, it’s going to take a lot more than a simple apology to undo all of the wrong she’s done.
However, when two kids go missing on a school trip, Emily and Sarah will have to work together to get everyone home on time.
The experience leaves them rattled, bringing them closer together while causing some of the parents to question their relationship.
With so many aspects of her life on the line, can Emily push her fears to the side long enough to win Sarah back, or will she give in to the pressures of their small town society and leave for good?
Whatever It Takes is a second chance lesbian romance with a happily ever after.

Growing up, Natalie loved it when a romance included a second chance for the characters, especially ones that already shared a history with one another before the start of the book. Because of this, it's one of her favorite themes to use along with situations that might leave the characters stranded in a small, confined space. Regardless of the story, she always puts the romance first, sticking to the sweeter side of things as that's what she loves the most. When she isn't writing, Natalie enjoys spending time with family along with her fuzzy companion, Pepper.
