She built an empire from heartbreak. Now she’s back to reclaim the one thing success couldn’t buy—her daughter… and maybe her first love.

Clara
Coming home was never part of the plan. But when you’ve lost the one thing that ever mattered, you’ll do whatever it takes to make it right.
Ten years ago, I left Cedar Hollow stripped of everything—my freedom, my baby girl, my heart. I turned grief into ambition and built two tech companies from the ground up. But none of it filled the hole Ivy left behind.
Now I'''m back, ready to fight for my daughter. But facing Eli Halvorsen—the boy who broke me and never even knew he left a child behind—wasn’t part of the deal.

Eli
My life runs on code and coffee. I fix school networks, avoid drama, and definitely don’t believe in second chances.
Then Ivy shows up, brilliant, stubborn… and unmistakably mine. And Clara, the girl I never stopped loving, is suddenly back in my orbit.
She’s fierce, successful, and absolutely furious. But I see the pain behind her power—and I’d do anything to protect her. Again.

Hard to Reach is a second-chance romance set in a small town where secrets run deep, and love never truly fades.

Perfect for readers who crave:
  • ✅ Secret baby with a twist

    ✅ Second-chance love that hurts so good

    ✅ Small-town secrets and simmering family drama

    ✅ A techy, soft-hearted hero who hides behind sarcasm

    ✅ A powerhouse heroine who’s done letting others make the rules

    She came back for her daughter.
    But her heart might have more in store and room for her daughter's father.

    Each story in the Salt Point series can be read as a stand-alone, but reading in order offers the richest experience.
