I am months away from completion but I'm going to start taking applications for ARC readers soon. 

Looking for an emotional small-town romance with childhood friends to lovers, first love, dual POV, and a complicated heroine with daddy issues?

Book 2 in the Friendship Series, an interconnected stand alone, is a character driven Southern love story about Myra and Gideon, two people who grow up together in a small North Georgia town and learn very different lessons about love.

Myra loved a father who made her feel extraordinary but never made her feel safe. After his death leaves her family struggling, she becomes determined to escape poverty, dependence, and the fear that loving someone means giving them the power to ruin your life.

Gideon is loyal, protective, and capable, but years of struggling in school have convinced him that he will never be enough for a girl who wants more than their small town can offer.

She believes love can't guarantee security. 

He believes loving her means accepting that she deserves better than him.

This is for readers who love emotionally complicated female characters, good men with wounds of their own, childhood friendship, first love, class differences, family trauma, Southern settings, dual timelines, longing, angst, and relationships shaped by everything the characters are too afraid to say.

For every daughter who loved her father but is still healing from him.
