Naming Contest for ‘Starting Over with Her One-Night Mistake’

If you’re subscribed to my newsletter, you’re already aware of this naming contest I started in January! If you’re not subscribed, let me tell you about this exciting opportunity.

In Starting Over with Her One-Night Mistake, our swoon-worthy hero, Daxton, is a single dad to an adorable two-year-old daughter. In this naming contest, I’m taking suggestions from newsletter subscribers on what the name of Daxton’s little girl should be!

How to Enter:

  1. Become a newsletter subscriber. You must be subscribed to my main newsletter to enter, as this is an exclusive contest for newsletter subscribers. You can join my newsletter in one of two ways:
    – Head on over to this page to sign up for my newsletter.
    – The best option is to head to the back of one of my books. Usually, you will fit it at the end of the epilogue or the last chapter. There will be a note to sign up for my newsletter and a link to a specific page on my website. That link is specifically for that book. Each book allows you to sign up to receive exclusive bonus content for that book. (You’ll still only be on the list once, not multiple times! But you’ll be able to get exclusive content each time you use a link in the back of each unique book.)
  2. You can reply back to any of the emails you receive from my newsletter. You can also wait until you receive an automated email after sign-up that will be about this contest.

Need to Know:

  • Please only submit up to 3 names.
  • The contest ends May 9th, 2025. The automated sign-up email that alerts you to this contest will no longer be sent for sign-ups after May 1st or 2nd.
  • I will choose the most fitting name of those suggested to me. If many are suggested and it is too hard to choose, I may pick a few and allow newsletter subscribers to vote.

What you Win:

  • Your suggested name will be featured continuously throughout the story as Daxton’s little girl plays a big part in this story!
  • You will also receive a section in the Acknowledgements page for Starting Over with Her One-Night Mistake. This is where I will thank you for suggesting the name. (You’ll get to choose how you are addressed, such as first name only, first and last name, initials, etc. If your name suggestion is in memory of someone or as a tribute, I can also include that information by request.)
  • You’ll receive a sneak peek at the first chapter of the book! Please note that depending on when I send it, you’ll receive it pre-editing. You may receive it before or after line editing; it may be before or after copyediting. When exactly I send the preview to you is not yet set, but I’ll ask you when you would like to receive it! (Just note that if it is before editing, it may be quite raw!)

This is a great opportunity to pay homage to someone dear to you, see your name in a book, or even put your favorite girl name into a book!

Get those names in because suggestions will be closed at 11:59pm EDT on May 9th, 2025!

Starting Over with Her One-Night Mistake

Pre-Order Available: Beneath Emerald Skies (Wild Emerald Hills, Book 1)

Are you ready to jump into a new, small-town romance series? Enter into the small town of Wild Emerald Hills, where the grass is vibrantly green and wildflowers grow freely. If you love small town dynamics, this is the series for you! Coming 2026, we’ll start off with the first novel in the series, Beneath Emerald Skies.

Burned-out investigative journalist Alaina escapes to the picturesque town of Wild Emerald Hills to recover her lost creativity and work remotely on an environmental exposé. What she expects to be a peaceful retreat becomes complicated when she meets Liam, the charismatic owner of Emerald Trails hiking company, whose outdoor excursions and intimate knowledge of the local wilderness capture her interest, albeit reluctantly.

As Alaina explores the lush landscape under Liam’s guidance, she uncovers a threat to the town’s beloved wildflower meadows that could alter the natural beauty that defines Wild Emerald Hills forever. Using her investigative skills alongside Liam’s deep community connections, they race to save the endangered land before the annual Wildflower Festival. But their collaboration is complicated by undeniable chemistry and conflicting priorities.

With the deadline for her story looming, Alaina faces an impossible choice: publish a career-reviving exposé that might bring unwanted attention to this hidden paradise, or protect the town—and the man—she’s unexpectedly come to love. Beneath the emerald skies of the Pacific Northwest, she’ll discover that sometimes the most important stories are the ones closest to the heart.

Beneath Emerald Skies is a romance novel that features no cheating and promises a happily-ever-after ending. As this is part of a series, some characters may overlap. Readers are advised that this novel may contain intimate scenes and strong language.
