About this listen
When I left Balsam Ridge for a career in Seattle, I thought I was chasing everything I’d ever wanted. But when Thanksgiving brought me back to the small town I’d left behind, I found myself tangled in a scheme with the one person I’d tried my hardest to forget—Noah Bennett, the town’s once-troubled “bad boy” turned local hero.
What started as a fake relationship to get our families off our backs quickly became something more, stirring up feelings I thought I’d buried. I never expected the boy who was off-limits to be the man who feels like home. But just when I started to believe we could be something real, our secret came crashing down, leaving me with two choices: go back to my safe but lonely life in Seattle or take the biggest risk of all and finally let myself belong.
Welcome to Balsam Ridge—a cozy small town where the fall colors are vibrant, the community is close-knit, and love can blossom when you least expect it. Here, everyone looks out for each other, and second chances are always just around the corner.
The Coach’s Second Chance Thanksgiving is a sweet and clean short romantic novella.

I never expected to bond with someone… let alone a dragon shifter. Roran is everything my rational mind tells me to fear—powerful, dangerous, a creature of ancient magic and primal instincts. But his touch ignites a fire within me, a longing I can’t deny, a bond that defies the laws of nature and the boundaries of our separate worlds. I’m caught in a web of ancient prophecy and clan rivalries, which I don’t understand.

Heartbroken and angry doesn’t come close to how I felt when he left town, and me, to pursue his football dreams. Fine. Good. He has his life. And I have mine. Except, Brodie’s mega-star, hard-partying player’s flirty love-life is all over the news and social media channels. He’s pretty hard to ignore. Annoyingly, his boyish good looks are on every screen and other people’s phones. Then, years after Our Kiss, and out of the blue, Brodie is back in Oak River. Cool. I can ...
