Seeking: Tall, Dark, and Handsome

She thought ending a toxic friendship was the hard part. She was wrong.

 

After six years, Lucynda cut off her diabolical coworker, Anita. Big mistake. Now she's trapped in a game she never knew she was playing, and Anita will cross an unforgivable line to make her point.

 

Lucynda is finally dipping her toes back into dating apps after a fifteen-year marriage ended. Alexander seemed like a good catch. Charming and sophisticated, he was the perfect distraction.

 

But then secrets started to surface: a wife tucked away in long-term care. His kindness was a mask. And the secret hidden in his hometown changed how Lucynda views intimacy forever.

 

Sometimes you don't recognize you're in the game… until you lose.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Five friends. One small town. A lifetime of secrets.

 

Joy loved Michigan. She just never told him. So she watched him move on. That was her first heartbreak. Her second was realizing she did it to herself.

 

She's not alone.

 

Diane fights against the mother she swore she would never become. Jennifer fights the loneliness that accepts less than love. Michelle fights the ache of a friend's unintentional betrayal. And April fights the body that never felt like home.

 

In the gossip-filled streets of small-town Arkansas, these five friends navigate laughter, longing, and the kind of secrets that only bloom where everyone knows your name—but no one knows your truth.

 

The Joy in Michigan is a novel about the courage to speak up. To a lover. To a mother. To the world. And finally, to yourself. Because before you can save anyone else, you must find the strength to save yourself.
