“Tried what?”

Book Two
The Scars I Bare
Some scars run deeper than the ones you can see.
After years spent rebuilding her life, Cora is ready to start over. A new job brings her and her young daughter to a quiet island off the coast of North Carolina, where she hopes to leave the past behind. But everything changes when she comes face-to-face with the one man she never thought she’d see again.
Dean Sutherland was once Cora’s patient—a wounded fisherman whose quiet strength left a lasting mark. Back then, she was married, and he was broken in ways no one could see. Their timing was never right. Now, years later, he’s back—and he’s not the same man she remembers.
As Cora and Dean are drawn back into each other’s lives, old emotions resurface, and the bond they once shared begins to grow into something neither expected. But when Cora’s ex-husband returns, determined to reclaim his place in their daughter’s life, everything she’s built is suddenly at risk.

Book Three
The Lies I've Told
He was supposed to be just another guest. Instead, he became the greatest risk she’s ever taken.
Millie never expected to be back on the island long-term, but when her sister goes into early labor, she steps in to manage the family inn. Still reeling from a career scandal and craving a fresh start, she’s focused on keeping her head down—until Aiden walks into her life.
He’s British, magnetic, and completely off-limits. What should have been a one-night mistake turns into something deeper, something real. Aiden is everything Millie didn’t know she needed—kind, funny, and impossible to ignore. But while their connection grows, so do the questions. He’s hiding something.
When a sudden accident forces a reckoning, and Aiden walks away rather than open up, Millie is left with a broken heart and a thousand unanswered questions. What is he running from? And can love survive the weight of the lies he’s told?
Coming July 29th.

“Guard your heart, Millie,” he’d said to me.
I let out a pained laugh as I stared down at the beautiful sculpture.
Too late, I thought.
Too damn late.

Book Four
The Mistakes I've Made
She has six weeks to turn the hotel around. He’s got every reason to stand in her way.
Leilani has spent her life trying to earn her father’s approval—first as his daughter, now as one of the few women in his global hotel empire. So when she bends the rules to land a project management role on a newly acquired island property, she knows this is her shot to finally be seen. Until her father finds out.
As punishment, he gives her six weeks to turn the hotel around or walk away for good and go back to desk duty. No support. No shortcuts. Just her—and a town that wants nothing to do with her. Especially Taylor Sutherland.
Local fisherman and fiercely loyal to the island, Taylor doesn’t trust outsiders—especially not the heiress of the hotel chain threatening the place he calls home. To him, Leilani is everything wrong with change: too polished, too ambitious, and far too distracting. But as the days pass and their lives intertwine, Taylor starts to see the woman behind the title. And Leilani sees the kind of future she never thought she deserved.

Book Five
The Secrets We Keep
She went back to say goodbye. She didn’t expect to find him.
Moving to Ocracoke was supposed to be the start of everything—new town, new chapter, fresh air, and saltwater. But when Marin’s husband passed away just months after arriving, the life they’d dreamed of vanished with him. She left and never looked back.
Now, five years later, her boyfriend pops the question on her birthday…and all she feels is panic. With her world tilting sideways, the only place that makes sense is the one she swore she’d never return to.
She thinks she’s going back to finally let go. Instead, she finds Macon Green.
The island’s brooding police officer is equal parts guarded and gorgeous, with a reputation for being impossible—and a body that makes forgetting him even harder. When Marin stumbles into a public scene with his ex-wife, instinct takes over. She slides her hand into his and pretends they’re dating—starting a secret they’ll both have to keep.
It was never supposed to be real.
