Book One: SLOW AND STEADY RUSH
She lives by the book—and is still searching for her happily ever after. Darcy Wilde has tried hard not to live up to her last name. As a librarian in Atlanta she lives a fine life far away from the football-obsessed town of her childhood. But when her beloved Grandmother needs help, Darcy takes a leave of absence and heads back to the home and past she left behind. He knows how to play the field—and is in no rush to settle down. Robbie Dalton knows a thing or two about painful pasts. After bouncing around in foster care and the Army for years he is finally ready to move on and make a home for himself in Falcon, Alabama as the newest high school football coach. Sparks fly when the sexy new coach and the sharp-tongued librarian meet, but neither of them is looking to make ties. But when it comes to love, sometimes you’ve gotta throw away the rule book to cross the finish line… Everything changes when Darcy falls in love, not only with the gruff, protective, and smoking hot man who's sharing her days and nights, but also with the complex tapestry of people who weave Falcon together. Could this be where she belongs - and who she belongs with? READ EXCERPT HERE |

SLOW AND STEADY RUSH takes place in the fictional town of Falcon, Alabama, but Falcon is a mish-mash of actual places in my life. The downtown of my small hometown in Tennessee is the inspiration for Main Street, with the library, the bank, antique stores, and gift stores. But, the Wilde homeplace is based on my mother's hometown in Alabama. The river, the farmhouses, the bottoms...I've swum in the river and ridden through the woods on ATVs.
Music is a huge inspiration for me when I'm plotting/musing over my books. While I prefer absolute silence while I write, I have a specific soundtrack for each book, so while I'm cooking or driving or cleaning I cue it up and let my mind wander into into the story. For SLOW AND STEADY RUSH, I leaned heavily on country music. Considering its set in rural Alabama and nature plays a huge role, its not surprising I found inspiration in country music. What to know some of the songs that inspired SLOW AND STEADY RUSH?
