hi i’m elle, it’s so nice to meet you

When I was little, I was the kid whose Barbies always made out in the camper. My love affair with romance novels started young—sneaking my step-mom’s Jackie Collins books and reading Forever by Judy Blume way before I probably should have!

Writing has been my passion since 2010, and after earning my MFA in Popular Fiction from Seton Hill, I knew I had to create stories where readers feel like they’re grabbing the popcorn, sipping the tea, and getting all the juicy details—because let’s be honest, there’s a little bit of nosey-neighborness in all of us.

I live for messy, swoon-worthy love stories with plenty of spice, but nothing too stressful. Now, instead of making my Barbie kiss GI Joe, I get to bring the heat on the pages of my books. I hope you love them!

I never planned on coming back to Pinebrook. But here I am, standing by the lake with the same blue skies, the same warm breeze, and the same guy who once broke my heart. Funny how life gives second chances when you least expect them.

I came to the beach house to lick my wounds, maybe wallow a little, and definitely avoid men. But then I met Nate. Of course he had to be charming, handsome, and full of mystery. Just my luck, right? Now I’m torn between wanting to know his secrets... and wondering if I’m really ready to face them.

Coming back to Cedarwood was supposed to be easy. Write the book, maybe eat my weight in pie, and most importantly, steer clear of Josh Callahan. Simple, right? Except Cedarwood is tiny, Josh is... well, still Josh, and somehow he’s even more irritatingly handsome than I remember. Now I’m stuck wondering if I’m here to finish a novel—or to rewrite the ending of my own story.
