What if your dream vacation became the adventure of a lifetime… with danger at every turn?
Spring Sullivan longs to escape her mundane life in snowy Spokane, Washington. Laid off from her teaching job and stuck on her family’s Idaho potato farm, she dreams of sunshine, flowers, and the romance of the Wild West. So when the mysterious Fantasy Maker offers her a week in Tucson, Arizona, she leaps at the chance.
The desert’s beauty awakens something in Spring—its warmth, scents, and stunning sights seem almost magical. But her idyllic getaway shatters when a stalker and a thief target her. As secrets unravel and tensions rise, Spring must rely on her wits to uncover the truth and fight for what’s right
Perfect for fans of Kris Bock’s Desert Gold or Nicholas Sparks’ Counting Miracles, Spring's Fling blends romance, mystery, and action in a page-turning adventure you won’t want to miss.

I want to clean up my Netgalley shelf, so I’m planning a monthly check-in. I have several books that have been ignored for too long. I promised myself I wouldn’t request any new books until the list was a little bit smaller. So, for accountability purposes, I plan to share my shelf once a month. I hope you’ll follow along on my journey to see what I’ve read … and what I’ve added.
