Debut Novel COMING JUNE 2024
Tess Hapley is thirty, divorced, navigating a new career and the upheaval of her entire belief system. The task of writing her second book while rebuilding her life lands her in the French countryside, an idyllic setting for solitude and self exploration. What she doesn’t expect to find is Henry: a tattooed musician, admirably comfortable with himself and completely taken with her. Before they know it, they find themselves having a difficult time separating from the light-hearted French fling they both were not looking for.
As Tess leans deeper into who she really is, carefully stripping away every societal expectation, she finds more nuance to her identity than she expected. Tess is left grappling with the question: when you’ve sacrificed so much to live as your truest self, is love worth the compromise?
