Our Hometown
She came home to bury her estranged father and renovate her childhood home—not relive her worst heartbreak, face the secrets of her past, and dodge an elusive stalker.
Ten years after leaving her hometown and the ex who shattered her heart, Lucy James is back in the waterfront city of Edmonds. Her mission? Support her quick-witted siblings and flip their childhood home—a project she hopes will propel her solo career as an interior designer and help her break free from her boss who intentionally keeps her stuck with an assistant title.
​
But the best contractor in town? None other than Nicolás Mendez—her ex and the last person she wants to spend all of October, November, and December in close quarters with.
​
And as if returning to a home filled with grief and difficult childhood memories isn’t bad enough, she must also deal with mysterious escalating break-in attempts and threatening messages at the house.
​
Lucy has convinced herself holding onto the painful secrets of her past is what’s best for everyone. But holding on to them may cost her more than she’s willing to lose.

Praise & Reviews
Sammi and Ajay's romance demonstrates the confusion, misconceptions, and eventual humor that occurs when two dramatically different cultures collide. Just like the movie, My Big Fat Greek Wedding, this novel is a multicultural romp that underlines the most important things in life: Love and Family.

Amazon Review
I am having heart palpitations over this dually-culturalized, romantical page-turner. Speaking of dually, a second book for Sammi and Ajay, kripaya?
