To say I’m super excited to introduce my latest serialized romance, From Friends to Forever, would be an understatement. Set in the charming town of Rose Hill, New York, this story is extra special because it brings back two characters you might already know and love. And I know how much we love reconnecting with my story’s side characters.

Remember Kelli Sutherland from In Love, I Trust? She was Serenity’s childhood friend and the sweet manager at Serenity’s bistro, Bellyful. Well, In Love, I Trust is part of the Rose Hill series, a dope collaboration I did with ShanicexLola. When Shanice reached out to me about this project and described Rose Hill, I fell in love with the idea instantly. And now I’m returning there to tell another one of those love stories that makes Rose Hill one of the most beautiful fictional towns on the page.

That brings me to Ryder Wallace. He first appeared in my story One Mic as a contestant on a music reality show. I enjoyed developing Ryder’s character, and he became a favorite of mine. His passion for music and his complicated feelings about his hometown made him someone I knew had more stories to tell. In One Mic, Ryder mentioned his best friend Kelli, and that got me thinking about their story. Since then, I’ve been waiting to make a temporary home in their lives.

From Friends to Forever takes you into Kelli and Ryder’s world. They’ve been best friends since forever, but when Ryder comes back home after some almost-big success, things start to change. Their friendship gets tested, and hidden feelings come to the surface as they navigate the tricky path from friends to something more. And all this unfolds in the cozy, charming town of Rose Hill.

Here’s the synopsis:

In the beautiful town of Rose Hill, New York, best friends Kelli Sutherland and Ryder Wallace have always been inseparable. Kelli, a pottery-loving manager at the local bistro, and Ryder, a successful songwriter with dreams of stardom, share everything—except their deepest feelings for each other. When Ryder returns home after a string of near-successes, their bond is tested as hidden emotions surface and their friendship takes an unexpected turn. Amidst the cozy backdrop of small-town life and the vibrant streets of Rose Hill, can Kelli and Ryder navigate their way from friends to forever?
