Nakes in Nalples
Second Bloom Series Book 1
At 48, recently divorced art teacher Claudia has forgotten how to see herself as anything but invisible.

Sometimes the most beautiful art requires the courage to be completely exposed.
Masala in Mumbai
Second Bloom Series Book 2
Two years after losing her husband, food writer Priya has sanitized her recipes and silenced her heart. At a Mumbai culinary retreat, she must choose between the safe, bland dishes that sell—or the bold, authentic flavors that might just lead her back to love. Some recipes can't be watered down without losing their soul.
Unfolded in Ubud
Second Bloom Series Book 3
Scottish divorce lawyer Fiona MacLeod has spent fifteen years helping other women escape broken marriages while ignoring her own shattered dreams.
