Some stories begin with fireworks.
Others begin quietly, with a single conversation, a shared smile, or a moment that doesn’t seem important until much later.
Those are the stories that have always fascinated me.
When I began writing Before I Found You: Ruby & Landon – A Beginning, I didn’t want to write a romance built only around dramatic moments. I wanted to create two people who felt real—people with dreams, doubts, hopes, and the courage to keep moving forward even when life became complicated.
Ruby and Landon aren’t simply characters who meet and fall in love. Their journey explores trust, personal growth, and the unexpected ways our lives can change when we allow ourselves to be vulnerable.
This novel is also the beginning of the Forever My Love series, a collection of stories that celebrates enduring relationships, meaningful choices, and the belief that some connections are meant to last.
Whether you’re discovering my writing for the first time or returning after reading another of my novels, thank you for joining me at the start of Ruby and Landon’s journey.
I hope you’ll laugh with them, celebrate their victories, feel their struggles, and ultimately find yourself cheering for them every step of the way.
Thank you for supporting independent authors and for giving new stories a place in your reading life.
Welcome to the beginning.
