TWO Christmas Romance Books Now Available!

To say I love the holidays is an understatement. So get into the holiday spirit with these Christmas romances, or grab them as a gift for the book lover in your life.

First, we have A Crescent Point Christmas. While it’s part of a series, it can be read as a stand-alone, although reading them in order is more fun!

A Crescent Point Christmas

Will love sparkle this holiday season?

When Cynthia’s boyfriend wants to talk over dinner, she’s ready for a ring but gets dumped instead. After having her heart crushed, she buries herself into work and barely comes up for air.

Caleb, a local fireman in Crescent Point, NC, is still reeling over the unexpected loss of his father. He’s a family man, dedicated to his job, but he’s not ready for love.

When Cynthia meets Caleb, the last thing on her mind is dating someone new this holiday season. Yet she can’t stop the butterflies she feels every time the tall man with dirty blonde hair and bright green eyes comes around.

Can these two mend their broken hearts together and enjoy this holiday season?

Read this story if you love clean, holiday romance books set at Christmas time!
Then there’s Christmas in Hope Crest, the beginning of a new series. But there are no cliffhangers in any of my books, so that it can read as a stand-alone.
A Christmas Romance of love, hope, and starting over that’s clean and festive for the season.

Christmas in Hope Crest

Christmas in Hope Crest:

Sophie always loved the holidays, but this year nursing a broken heart, the memories of Christmas with her ex drive her from her home to Hope Crest.

This close-knit small town nestled in the mountains, with its friendly residents who are in the Christmas spirit, promises to fill her heart with joy. And if she sees her estranged father? Even better. Maybe she’ll convince him to finally tell her why he left when she was only ten.

Dr. Chad Campbell always loved small-town family Christmases in the Hope Crest mountains, but after his father died, Chad’s Christmas spirit did too. So when he catches sight of Sophie, he has a feeling that things might change.

Can Sophie renew his Christmas spirit to have a happy Christmas with his family? Can his gentle approach mend her heart for Christmas in Hope Crest’s beautiful mountains? Will a chance encounter with her father kill her desire for a wholesome romance at Christmastime?

Discover this cozy mountain town of Hope Crest in the Smokies, get lost in the magic of the season, and meet some of the friendly locals along the way!

Crescent Point Beginnings is Available!

I’m excited to let you all know about my newest romance novel that’s available, Crescent Point Beginnings!

You can get it here.

Here’s a quick preview:

Two polar opposites, a Destined Encounter

Reserved Rebecca is pushed to take a trip to Crescent Point by her loving grandmother, who Rebecca has been tirelessly caring for over the years.

While Rebecca isn’t interested at all in this trip, the handsome inn owner, Ron, has her intrigued. He seems like an annoyance at first, but is that really the case?

Things are finally starting to fall into place for Ron; he has this booming business, yet something feels like it’s missing.

He runs into Rebecca who he finds frustrating but there’s something about her that piques his interest.

The only problem: She’s just passing through town on vacation. Can this unlikely match overcome their own personal struggles and uncertainties in order to make true love happen?

Catch up with Sarah and her sister, Abby, too! It’s also perfect for those who love antique shops!

I appreciate everyone who has supported my romance books along the way! This series will have at least 5 books so keep reading along.

This story had a lot of time and effort put into it!

The team includes:

One graphic designer for the cover

Three beta readers

One copy editor

And one proofreader

Without them, my book wouldn’t be as solid as it is. Let me know what you expect in the future for this modern romance!

Will Ron and Rebecca be able to finally see eye to eye and meet halfway?

After you read it, let me know your thoughts and be on the lookout for book 3 coming soon! If you haven’t yet, check out book 1 as well! While you don’t have to read them in order, it’s highly recommended.

Inspiration for The Crescent Point Series

The Crescent Point Series has been fun for me to write since it’s a beach romance, but it actually hasn’t been the first series. The first series will be coming out in the winter months.

Don’t forget to start the series with book 1!

You might wonder where the inspiration for The Crescent Point Series comes from. Well, I love North Carolina!

Whether it’s the mountains or the beach, there’s fun to be had. Plus, who doesn’t love the fact that there are plenty of small towns to enjoy.

The Crescent Point Series is loosely inspired by the Outer Banks. You can buy or rent a gorgeous home right on the beach and head out for a swim or walk.

As I write the series for Abby, Sarah, and others, I think about this and try to make it similar but unique.

What little town inspires you that you wish a writer would have books about? My other series is also in North Carolina, but it’s inspired by the Smoky Mountains.

Keep your eyes peeled for that around Christmas! If you aren’t a part of my email list, consider joining to stay up-to-date on all my upcoming books.

In book three of The Crescent Point Series, you’ll get a glimpse into life in gorgeous Bryson City, a town that’s near and dear to my heart. Book 2 is still a beach romance in Crescent Point!

What do you enjoy most about North Carolina? Let me know in the comments or send me an email!

A Preview for Book Two!

Hi everyone, I hope that you’re all staying busy and enjoying the warmer months. Easter is just around the corner, can you believe how fast 2022 is going?

If you haven’t read Book One you’ll want to check that out! Here’s the link for it:

Book two in The Crescent Point Series will be available at the end of next month.

I wanted to give you a quick preview of that!

An unexpected inheritance. A family secret that could ruin it all.

Abby and Sarah might be siblings, but they’re nothing alike: Abby is relaxed, regardless of what happens, whereas Sarah spends hours planning her routine. When they inherit their grandmother’s beach house, the women leap at the chance to turn it into a bed-and-breakfast, combining Sarah’s organized nature and Abby’s creativity and free spirit.
Local handyman Jon knows the value of being meticulous. He dreams of finding the right girl, but he’s in no rush. When he meets Sarah, he’s drawn to her intelligence and dedication to opening up a bed-and-breakfast.
Jake would rather surf than settle down –or at least that’s what people think about him. But a chance encounter with Abby leads her to wonder if he’s much more profound than she initially realized.
With romance brewing, Abby and Sarah learn something unexpected that could rob them of their vision for their grandmother’s house. Can they find the courage to fight back and keep what’s theirs? Can they find love while also maintaining the dreams for their grandmother’s house alive?
Get lost in this beach romance! Start reading it today if you love heartwarming and clean romance novels.

Hi and Welcome!

Hi and welcome to my part of the internet. I’m so glad to have you here and be a part of this journey.
I’m about to publish my first book, and it has been something I’ve dreamed about since I was little. Coming soon will be a sweet and clean romance about two siblings who inherit a beautiful home on the beach from their grandmother.
You’ll get to follow their journey as they work hard to turn it into a bed-and-breakfast and meet some nice fellows along the way. I’m so excited to hear what you think about it.
The entire writing process is much more complex and expensive than I realized, but I’m still looking forward to this. Through the help of multiple beta readers, a copy editor, and a proofreader, it’ll be ready to go out into the world very soon.
Also, if you’d like to join my mailing list, you can find out the exact moment this book comes out! I’d also love to share fun and exciting content along the way with you.

Please let me know if there are any books you’re dreaming of reading, and you never know, maybe you’ll see it out in the world!
Here’s a bit about me: My name is Lindsay, and I live in sunny Florida with my wonderful husband and our two cats. I’ve also been content and copywriting full-time for a couple of years.
While I’m not originally from Florida, it always had a piece of my heart, just as North Carolina does.
My stories take place in the made-up town of Crescent Point, North Carolina, right on the coast! North Carolina has been somewhere I’ve loved traveling to, especially Bryson City and Asheville; I highly recommend the area.
I also plan on this being a series, so if you love it, then you’re in for a treat with plenty of books to enjoy. I’ll keep producing the books in this series because Crescent Point is near and dear to my heart.
What I enjoy most about the story is that the two siblings, Sarah and Abby, are complete opposites. It’s interesting to see them as they go along on their journeys.
I hope you can escape the day-to-day life and be swept away in this clean romance beach read.
Be sure to check back on my site because I’ll be posting teasers for my upcoming story!
Thank you again!
