The Paper Hearts Series
Welcome to Wattlewood Ridge – a little mountain town with big heart energy.
The Paper Hearts series follows four women – Lilah, Tess, Marley, and Rey – as they navigate love, friendship, and second chances in a town where wishes are whispered into trees and stories have a way of coming true.
She writes happily-ever-afters under a fake name. He feels like he’s walked straight out of her favourite chapter.
Lilah Rayne is an indie author secretly writing as Lola Reid. After a breakup and a creative burnout, she moves back to her tiny apartment above Brew & Bloom café, only to discover the local bookstore has a new owner – Lucas Castle, a soft-spoken book nerd with a quiet past and a knack for seeing right through her.
As Lilah’s real life starts mirroring the pages of her own book, she has to decide whether to keep hiding behind her pen name or risk letting someone love the real version of her.
