Sweet Somethings (Gold Creek #1)

She's about to book a ticket to Paris…but he hopes to give her a reason to stay. Emily Phillips planned a six-month stay in the scenic town of Gold Creek, California. Just enough time to save money for her Paris adventure. But somewhere along the way her plan took a left turn. Two years later, she's too swamped glazing art projects and serving cupcakes at the pottery painting shop she owns to notice that her French fantasy is a long faded dream.

After a break up with her two-timing Mr. Wrong, and receiving an offer to buy her shop, she's convinced that now is the perfect time to dust off her original plan and book a flight to The City of Love.

Outdoor adventure junkie, Ben Nichols, hasn't taken his eyes off Emily since the day she started work at the pottery shop next to his apartment. But a disastrous first date plunged him to the depths of the friend zone two years ago. With Emily's plan to move to Paris in high gear, can he convince her to give him a second chance at love before it's too late?

Sweet Somethings is a standalone sweet, clean romance short story (10,000 words) that introduces the upcoming Gold Creek Series of books.
