G'day,

Well, I had every intention of sharing a completely different title and cover reveal with you! But then a character took over and demanded her own book, and her story just flowed... So I've had to press pause on my historical romance to work on a brand new contemporary romance series.

I'm now in the finishing stages of book one in my new Ashes to Beauty Romance series, Valerie Rose. I'll be getting ready to send it to beta readers early July. I can't wait to introduce you to Valerie and Owen and welcome you to the small Aussie (albeit, fictional) town of Everlynn Valley.

Sometimes searching for love is like waiting for the rain. 

When single mum Valerie Rose arrives in Everlynn Valley in the middle of a drought, she doesn't expect to be dousing a perfect stranger with her iced latte. Perfect, and off limits. As chaplain at her son's new school, Owen is definitely... maybe?... surely not an appropriate dating choice... at all... 

Owen Campbell has been stuck in a rut of people-pleasing and conflict suppression all his life. He's too nice. But when the new kid, Kai, is picked on at school, it tugs at Owen's inner child. Years of bullies getting away with bad behavior stops now. What Owen doesn't expect is for Kai's mum, Valerie, to pull at his heart in a different way entirely. 

Meanwhile, Nettie Jones, a prayer warrior and spiritual godmother to many, feels led by the Lord to cover Valerie and Owen in prayer. But will it be enough when disaster and devastation hit Everlynn Valley? Or will Valerie and Owen's hope for the future be extinguished for good?

Stay tuned for the release date in my next newsletter! 

From Australia,

With Love,

Liz
