From Book 1: Laura Myers is having a bad day. She loses her mother-in-law, her husband wants a divorce and she finds out he was cheating on her after 30 years of marriage.
Plus, it's her 50th birthday!
Laura has two options; Accept the paltry offer her soon-to-be-ex makes or keep the promise she made to a dying woman. Starting the Hideaway Inn with the help of her three children seems to be the only solution since she never expected to start over again.
Laura’s oldest, Olivia, contemplates giving up her job as a traveling chef to help her mother, while her son, Cole, gets fired from his position as a construction supervisor and brings home a secret and a large uncashed check he can’t talk about yet
Bailey, the youngest adopted daughter, who is in nursing school, still has a year and a half to go until graduation. Then she hooks up with a guy who is bad news and trouble soon follows. After a life-changing event, she is forced to face the truth.
The Hideaway Inn is the first book in a new series about the Myer's family and friends, and the community of this small lakeside town tucked into the lush hills and mountains of Central Pennsylvania. Follow Laura and her kids, friends, and others as secrets unfold, relationships develop and love finds its way to some in this feel-good Women's Fiction novel.

Since this is a new genre for me, I haven't marketed the first two books too heavily so the sales were okay. The 3rd book which is coming out October 30th, I have a bookbub featured new release and will be advertising heavily now that I have 3 books to market. The rankings right now for book 1 & 2 have been under 100K in the kindle store but that will change when I begin to advertise more heavily in October.
“Don’t let him ruin it all,” Rebecca May Myer’s frail voice came out of the blue in short, clear, and distinct bursts.
Laura had been gently holding her hand, but now she raised her eyes to the woman who had been like a mother to her these past thirty years. The inevitable was here, and Laura wanted to make sure Rebecca was not alone.
She smiled at the elderly woman, trying desperately to stay strong. There would be no signs of weakness from Laura. Her mother-in-law would not approve. She almost smiled at that thought, knowing there was not a thing Rebecca May could do or say if she did fall apart.
A slight shudder went through her. Laura would miss her terribly. She was such a strong woman that it wouldn’t be the same without her. Rebecca May had always been the steady person in her life that never let her down. Now, she was leaving and Laura would have to fight the world on her own. It wasn’t fair. She wanted to pump a fist in the air and demand God give back the healthy and stubborn woman she loved so much.
Perhaps Laura loved Rebecca May even more than her own son did.
Anger seeped in, but Laura tried to push it back. She didn’t want her mother-in-law to know her son was going to be late getting here while she lay on her deathbed.
Kurt knew his mother was actively dying and instead of canceling his last meeting of the day, he went there first for business. Laura kept herself from complaining out loud. There was no sense of being angry. He’d be along when he was finished.
Hopefully, it wasn’t too late. She would have to send her husband another text to hurry him along. She knew exactly how he always got caught up in the commercial part of his real estate business. Laura prayed Rebecca May would be able to say goodbye to her only son before she departed from this world.
“Did you hear me, Laura?”
