My debut novel is on submission now!

Sloane Albrecht never intended to return to Manhattan after her famous author grandmother struck a deal with her college sweetheart, aspiring writer Jack Rollins. The terms? Break up with Sloane and get a book deal. The arrangement killed two birds — Jack got the shot at literary success he so desperately craved, and Nana saved Sloane from a relationship she disapproved of.

Ten years after leaving behind their betrayal and her own dream to become an author, Sloane is living in LA as a corporate attorney, dispassionately working towards firm partnership for no reason other than the distraction that work affords her. When Nana dies, shockingly leaving Sloane her brownstone and last unfinished manuscript, Sloane is thrust back to NYC, where she reconnects with her high society family and Jack, now a hotshot author.

Armed with a box of letters from Nana, Sloane takes a summer sabbatical to pursue her dream to become an author while navigating family dynamics and her feelings for Jack. Letter by letter, Sloane falls back in love with the city and writing while finding forgiveness and the purpose she's always craved. But as the summer unfolds, Sloane uncovers the truth surrounding Nana's deal with Jack, leaving her wondering if the real betrayal was that she ran from Manhattan in the first place.
