BLOOM
BOOK 1 – THE HAPPILY EVER AFTER SERIES
Can a heart wrapped in the past ever bloom again?
Rose Hart is a premier floral designer at Hearts & Flowers, known for bringing fairytale weddings to life. She believes
in love for her clients. For herself? That’s harder. Trust is fragile, and once broken, it’s hard to restore.
Marc Damon knows success. A rising star in the hospitality industry, he’s built a career on ambition and vision. When his new venue, Magic Moments, brings them together professionally, personal sparks fly.
Their chemistry is undeniable. Their connection is real. But when secrets from the past and whispers of betrayal
threaten their second chance, Rose must decide if love is worth the risk. And Marc will do whatever it takes to prove that their love is built to last.
Will they let love take root or will doubt tear them apart?
To commemorate my 20th Authorversary, I’m retelling the books from the Hearts & Flowers Series. Bloom is the retelling of Marc and Rose’s story from With This Ring in a sensual and new way.

SURRENDER
BOOK 2 – THE HAPPILY EVER AFTER SERIES
Book Two in the Happily Ever After series (formerly the Hearts & Flowers series), this novel continues the stories of the Hart sisters—four women running a luxury bridal business while searching for their own happily ever afters.
Ivy Hart never planned to get married, especially not to Jonathan Damon, the sexy, charming co-owner of Magic
Moments. But one impulsive Vegas wedding later, they’re living together, pretending for the cameras, and igniting a
passion neither of them saw coming.
He touches her like she’s his everything. But trusting him means unlocking secrets she’s kept buried for years. And
Jonathan? He’s not playing pretend. He wants her. All of her. Forever. The only question is… will she let him in?
Surrender has a lot of romantic elements, but as a whole is not a romance. It is a deeply emotional story of healing, rediscovery, and second chances. Originally published in 2011 as From This Moment, Ivy Hart’s journey has been completely re-imagined. This fresh, expanded version dives deeper into Ivy’s internal world, exploring her pain, her guarded heart and her slow surrender to love.

SERENADE
HAPPILY EVER AFTER SERIES – BOOK 3
Lili Hart has always played by the rules—of the family business, of the bridal world, of everyone’s expectations. But lately, something’s missing. The cakes she bakes, the events she curates, the dreams she once nurtured… all feel like they belong to someone else. Determined to step out of the shadows and build something of her own, she’s preparing to take a risk—until a man from her past shows up and changes everything.
Dominic Ballard left town with music in his blood and a heart full of ambition. Now he’s back—grieving the only father he’s ever known and discovering secrets that shake the foundation of everything he believed. When he runs into Lili at a holiday event, the chemistry is undeniable. So is the history.
Once, they had something real… until silence and circumstance pulled them apart.
As Dominic confronts the truth about his past—including the legacy of a father he never knew—Lili must decide if she’s ready to follow her own rhythm, even if it means risking her heart again.
Because some songs aren’t finished.
Some love stories just need a second verse.

“Every love story is a journey, filled with twists and turns, heartaches and triumphs, where passion meets destiny.”
