Reluctant matchmakers

Coming 2026, a new small town series of stand-alone novels!

Book one, Never Been Matched, available June 20th, 2026!

Vivien Hart has been a recluse for years, special thanks to the convenience of delivery, WiFi, and a controlling mother she’s being trying to outrun her whole life. She never planned on inheriting a retro movie theater in a small town in the middle of nowhere Massachusetts, but when a former child star with no life needs somewhere to disappear, Surrender is the safest place to land. Especially since it’s the same place that once let her be a kid, in a world where fame and family took everything else.

Unfortunately, her inheritance comes with a list of increasingly difficult tasks… and an annoyingly charming estate attorney named Spencer Montgomery who is determined to enforce them.

To keep the theater, Vivien must match a handful of locals who never got their happy endings. 

Sounds easy enough, except the first name on the list is her own. 

As sparks fly with Spencer—even though he’s not her match—and the rules start to blur, Vivien must decide whether she can keep hiding from her past or risk being seen, loved, and chosen for who she is.


Book two, cover forthcoming! Release date November 2026

Audrey Parker has something to prove. To her family. To the town she just moved to. And definitely to the hottie elementary school principal who thinks she’s a ditzy diva. So when her sister promises to help her if she completes a matchmaking challenge, Audrey sees her chance to finally be taken seriously. There’s just one problem.

She’s the first match on the list.

Carter Winthrope is done with expectations. Done with his wealthy family trying to script his future. Done with society women who care more about status than substance. And especially done with ditzy divas.
Which makes it particularly inconvenient that the only person who applies for his school’s desperately needed secretary position is Audrey Parker, the embodiment of everything and everyone he’s been avoiding.

Audrey needs the job to prove she can stand on her own. Carter needs the help, even if it comes wrapped in couture and inexperience.

But as Audrey attempts to complete her matchmaking list and prove that she has the mettle to work a real job, she and Carter find themselves thrown together in ways neither of them planned or wanted. Which is a real problem considering Carter isn’t the guy she needs to match on her list.
