New Hope World
Welcome to New Hope, a picturesque Australian town brimming with heart, humor, and romance. In this interconnected world of standalone contemporary love stories, beloved characters weave in and out of each other's lives, creating a vibrant tapestry of love, friendship, and found family.
In Chase and the Girl Who Came Back, the first book in the series, a second-chance romance unfolds as a young woman managing diabetes and hypoglycemia returns to her hometown, stirring up old feelings and uncovering new possibilities.
Each story in the New Hope World brings something special: women battling conditions like PCOS, endometriosis, and POTS, or navigating life with autism or gastroparesis, all while discovering their own versions of happily-ever-after. From swoony rom-coms with spice to heartfelt young adult love stories, these novels explore the beauty of falling in love—flaws and all.
As characters cross paths and stories intertwine, New Hope becomes a place where no one feels alone, and everyone has a chance to rewrite their story. These books celebrate the resilience of the human spirit and remind us that love shines brightest in the moments we least expect it. Escape to New Hope, and fall for the stories that feel like home.

New Hope Corrupt
Beneath the surface of New Hope's idyllic small-town charm lies a darker, hidden underworld—one fueled by crime, betrayal, and shattered dreams. "New Hope World Corrupt" pulls back the curtain to reveal a web of power struggles, illicit deals, and morally gray characters fighting to survive in a ruthless world.
From notorious drug lords ruling the shadows to hired killers navigating their own twisted moral codes, these stories delve into the lives of those who thrive in the darkness. Each book brings new players, fresh conflicts, and dangerous stakes, exploring the thin line between right and wrong. In this world, loyalty is fragile, justice is rare, and love—when it appears—is a dangerous gamble.
