New Novel: A Place for Us




For fans of Taylor Jenkins Reid, Harper Bliss, E. J. Noyes, Gerri Hill, and Jen Lyon, a thrilling tale of two women who find each other irresistible but struggle for a second chance for love, redemption, and sanctuary when the world is against them.


Jo, an environmental attorney in Washington, DC, and Lauren, a young British woman discovering her sexual identity, meet in a London pub in 1981 and have a brief but meaningful affair. However, Jo’s ambition, the ocean between them, and immigration barriers thwart their budding relationship.


Twenty-two years later, both are unhappy with their current partners. They reunite at Jo’s home in San Francisco when Lauren and her partner visit from Europe. Though they try to respect each other’s relationships, their reunion ignites a whirlwind of emotions neither of them can ignore.


Amid the majestic backdrops of Yosemite National Park and the Pacific Northwest, old passions rekindle, leading to dramatic confrontations and painful revelations—as well as blissful nights of passion. Jo and Lauren finally realize they must admit the truth: they are irresistibly drawn to each other. But there is no country in which they can live together legally.


A Place for Us is a poignant narrative of profound emotional depth, highlighting the relentless pursuit against all obstacles of love and a space where two hearts can find their home. Will this second chance lead to happiness, or will the same forces that once drove them apart prevail again?
