I’m thrilled to share the cover for But A Dream.

But A Dream is a novella set in the Pembrook Academy series. It is a story I didn’t know I needed to tell, but one I’m so grateful I had the chance to write.

Like the other books in the Pembrook Academy series, But A Dream is my take on the classic Austen stories we’ve all come to know and love in one way or another. This particular novella is inspired by the emotional heart of Sense & Sensibility. It’s a coming-of-age story about family, love, and the choices that have the power to make or break us. You’ll revisit some familiar characters and get to know others in a brand-new way.

Are you ready for the official blurb?
I thought so…

Old feelings. New chances.

Charleigh Billings never wanted to walk away, but when her parents gave her an ultimatum, she chose the path that left the boy she loved behind.

Jonas Benitez never got an explanation that made Charleigh’s choice hurt any less. Time gave him distance, and distance gave him memories, but he never found the closure or answers he needed to truly move on.

When they come face to face in Northport again, they will have to confront the truth about what they lost and what they still want.

They both know the pain of the past can’t be changed. 

What they have to decide is whether a future together is worth the risk. Sometimes the hardest person to face is the one you still want.
