About:
I’m a small-town (previously large city) author who lives on the Gulf Coast. Instead of a fence in my backyard, I have a river. In trading out concrete of the city for the green of the country, I also lost my Wi-fi. Boo. It’s okay, though; my neighbors and chickens are more entertaining than social media anyway.
What I’m looking for in my ideal reader match:
- Someone in search of relaxation
- A fondness for hunky single dads is a plus in this reader
- Appreciation for female entrepreneurs
- A love of silliness
- Soft spot for characters who can laugh at themselves as well as each other
- A willingness to accept (even if begrudgingly) small-town dynamics
- Someone who likes to smile at shenanigans
- My ideal reader must have a love of happy endings
What to expect if we're compatible:
- Laughter
- Smiles
- Perhaps some tense moments
- Scenes featuring loving, involved parents spouting terrible cliché sayings
- And for sure, a happily ever after
Hideaway Harbor, #1
Workaholic Lillian Mahoney has given everything to her job. The hugely popular lifestyle show she helped create monopolizes her time, energy, creativity, and anything remotely resembling a life. But all it takes is the show’s womanizing, egomaniac star throwing a massive hissy on live TV to utterly implode Lillian’s career in a New York minute.
Now Lillian’s hiding out in the gorgeous and completely unknown seaside village of Blink, Maine. Out of gas. A stolen wallet. A broken heel. And worse, she’s somehow managed to completely piss off the town’s resident hunk, Caleb Wright. She’ll show that hot, grumpy single father exactly what she’s made of.
But Blink isn’t quite what Lillian expects—and neither is Caleb...or his feisty teen daughter she can't help but love. And while her entire life and career are in shreds, Lillian might just discover what happens when she gives her bad first impression a second chance…

Marissa Clarke lives in Texas, where everything is bigger, especially the mosquitoes. When not writing, she wrangles her rowdy pack of three teens, husband, and a Cairn Terrier named Annabel, who rules the house (and Marissa's heart) with an iron paw.
