Two Doors Down

What if the person who truly sees you... isn't your husband?

But when a chance encounter with the neighbor two doors down sparks something she thought was long gone, Ella is faced with a choice: stay where life has dropped her or finally follow the current pulling her toward something more.

MEET THE AUTHOR

About Me

I write emotionally honest, character-driven stories about longing, healing, and the quiet moments that change everything. My work explores the raw edges of relationships—what’s said, what’s left unsaid, and what it means to be truly seen. I’m drawn to the ache of unmet needs, the pull of connection that shouldn't exist, and the slow, painful beauty of starting over.
When I’m not writing, you’ll probably find me chasing sunsets along the Gulf Coast, drinking strong coffee, and reflecting on the resilience it takes to begin again.

BOOK 1 - 2025

Two Doors Down

Ella Morgan is a devoted wife and mother who’s forgotten how to dream for herself. When a move to a quiet neighborhood brings her face-to-face with a kind-eyed stranger two doors down, she finds herself awakening to something she thought she lost forever: a sense of self. Two Doors Down is a deeply emotional story of love, loss, and the quiet reckoning that begins when someone finally sees you.

BOOK 2 - 2026

Two Doors Away

Jack Callahan didn’t go looking for love—he just wanted peace. But after watching it slip through his fingers, he’s left to confront the ghosts of his past and the patterns that keep him alone. Two Doors Away is a story of heartbreak, healing, and the slow, soulful return to oneself. Sometimes, the greatest love story is the one you write when you learn to stay.
