I’m excited to announce that my next Harlequin Heartwarming book, The Single Mom’s Second Chance, will be released on January 27, 2026.

Tomorrow!

As always, I had so much fun writing this book. The story revolves around Addie, a single mom wanting to make her son’s life great while figuring out next steps in her life, and Nolan, a professional baseball pitcher, whose career is in question. As they lean on each other, will they fall in love?

Throw in estranged sisters coming to terms with the past, a Mom with a secret, and a town who loves to be in the know (they’re not rumors!), there is a lot going on. I’ve loved setting my stories in Golden ever since I created the town five books ago.

A fresh start…

Then an unexpected curveball.

When Addie Lane returns to Golden, Georgia, to open her own fitness center, she’s surprised to find her late husband’s best friend, professional baseball player Nolan Travers, offering to invest. Recovering from an injury, Nolan finds solace in helping a friend—and coaching her son Jacob’s baseball team. As the summer continues, their close bond threatens to be undone by Nolan’s expected return to pro ball and Addie’s challenging relationships with her mother and sisters. Only time will tell if their separate paths will pull them apart—or if Addie and Nolan can hit their love out of the park together.

From Harlequin Heartwarming: Wholesome stories of love, compassion and belonging.

A Golden, Georgia Romance
