I’m excited to share with you my latest YA romance set in a lake town with a cute bookstore, adorable cottage, and all the cozy vibes. This book world was my escape during a difficult time in my life, and I hope Bloomington Shores and the lake cottage are a sweet escape for you as well. I went a little lower angst with this one and created a setting with a cottage you want to tuck away in with a good book, a bookstore you want to browse in for hours, and a cast of characters I hope you love.
Check it out here:
Cagney Innes thinks all her dreams are about to come true as she’s accepted into a prestigious summer writing workshop with her boyfriend. It softens the sting of the fact she was wait-listed by almost every college she applied to. Everything seems perfect until the workshop head dashes her dreams during a critique session. Her Aunt Emily invites her to the family lake cottage, where she can relax at the beach and think over her plans for the future.
In Bloomington Shores, Cagney finds a tight-knit community that supports one another and a bookstore that needs saving. The owner of the bookstore’s grandson, Max Brazil, is a college freshman hockey player who Cagney starts off on the wrong foot with, but who ends up becoming the guy she starts falling for. Max is dealing with a recurring injury that threatens his playing days. He’s trying to figure out if there’s life without hockey if his injury doesn’t properly heal. The two begin a friendship and become each other’s biggest supporters. Then Max leaves for a summer hockey program, and the two continue talking long-distance. With her family and Max’s support, Cagney’s got a new lease on life and her writing. However, her ex comes to town just as Max comes back early, eager to see Cagney.
Not only does her ex complicate things, but Max is also offered a position covering hockey overseas, which might be the perfect solution for him if he can no longer play. Right as Max is making his decision, Cagney gets accepted by two of the colleges she was wait-listed for—her dream school, which is across the country, as well as the school Max currently attends, and which is closer to her aunt and Grandpa in Bloomington Shores. Cagney needs to make the decision to either stay near her family and focus on her writing (and possibly her relationship with Max if he stays), or take the chance to attend a prestigious university that will open doors for her in the big city. Will Cagney follow her head or her heart?
