I ran from a high society wedding straight into the arms of a grumpy, small-town protector. I was supposed to be the perfect society wife, traded to a ruthless billionaire to save my family from financial ruin. Instead, I climbed out a window in my fifty-thousand-dollar Italian silk gown, stole a catering van, and drove until I hit the sleepy coastal town of Blue Bay.

Jake is the town’s brooding harbor master and an ex-Navy SEAL carrying his own deep scars.

I came to Blue Bay to figure out my military future. I didn't plan on falling for a brooding fire captain and his little girl who hasn’t uttered a word in three years. As a dedicated Navy Lieutenant, my entire life has been built on following orders and climbing the ranks. But severe burnout has me questioning everything.

It's a rollicking cat-and-mouse tale, but this time, they're both on the same side - racing against time to save our world and theirs.

A modern take on timeless truths, familiar rhymes, fables, and fairy tales, told through the eyes of an "ultra-logical" mouse, a nonpredatory cat, and a teenage storyteller. You think you know these tales, but once the layers start peeling back, what is underneath will surprise and delight you.

The approach you will see me take is not conventional. You won’t see the typical daily devotional material laid out to digest.

I found myself forgetting, or being distracted from the power of words and content; and by the next day’s offering, yesterday’s spiritual bread was nothing but a faint taste of memory.
