Y’all I can’t believe my second book baby will be out in the world in less than two months! On July 12! Bonkers.
Here’s her cover…
The Robin’s egg blue! The fireworks! SUMMER VIBES! Danny! Lacey! His baseball cap! Her tattoos (kinda hard to see in the tiny form, but they’re on her right forearm hehe)! *squees*
The! Back! Is! Pink! *cries* the “A Starling Hills novel” gets me every time.
That blue, y’all. I knew I wanted that color for this book a long, long time ago. Ashley and Murphy nailed this cover. I CAN’T WAIT to hold both Relative Fiction and Happy Accidents paperbacks in my hands together.
Blurb
Nine months after his dad’s death, Danny Callaghan is still grieving. He keeps busy running Handy Danny’s Workshop, helping out at his family’s restaurant, and giving away too much of his time for free. The last distraction he expects is Lacey Cherry, his best friend’s other best friend, aka his high school rival, to show up, literally, on his doorstep.
Lacey has been avoiding Starling Hills since high school, but she’s back home after her grandma’s death. She desperately needs somewhere to stay while she ties up loose ends, and it can’t be the house she grew up in. Lucky for her, there’s an open room at her best friend’s house. It just so happens that her know-it-all nemesis, Daniel, also lives there.
They haven’t seen each other in over ten years. They are adults now. They can be civil… right?
As if living in the same house isn’t bad enough, Danny and Lacey start running into each other all over Starling Hills. Their quibbling escalates to a fever pitch, until Danny—handyman extraordinaire—offers to help Lacey get her grandma’s house in shape to sell it.
Working together for once, Danny and Lacey begin to see different sides of each other, complete with fireworks that are impossible to ignore.
Are these happy accidents enough to keep Lacey in the town she’s been running from? Are they enough for Danny to ask her to stay?
Happy Accidents is the second novel in an interconnected series set in Starling Hills.

Add Happy Accidents on Goodreads! It’s out July 12.
I’m hoping the ebook will be approved for preorder on Amazon soon! It’ll be available for preorder for a special price of $2.99!
Have you read Relative Fiction yet? It’s not required, but will make the experience of Happy Accidents even more meaningful. Pick up book one on Amazon or Barnes & Noble.
