Book 2 of Firebrook Valley releases May 15

Welcome to Firebrook Valley!

Welcome to Firebrook Valley—where the stakes are high, the secrets are deep, and the billionaires are finally finding their way home. In this brand-new series, I return to my roots, bringing my readers back to my signature world-building that takes you on a wild ride and always leaves you smiling.

What to Expect in Firebrook Valley: The Expanded Billionaire Universe: We aren't starting over; we’re moving forward. Firebrook Valley is firmly planted in my larger universe, which means you can expect fun cameos from some of your absolute favorites—keep your eyes peeled for Dominic and Abby Corisi!

Expect to laugh, swoon, and get caught up in a mystery that unfolds one book at a time.

At the center of Firebrook Valley is a bitter, thirty-year blood feud between two powerful fathers. Watch as a new generation of imperfect, flawed characters works to break the cycle of generational trauma and learn the true power of forgiveness.

While the characters may have billions, their hearts belong to the rustic, tight-knit mountain town of Firebrook Valley. It’s a world where family loyalty trumps international glitz, and the community is as strong as the coffee.

Tomorrow, the World of Ruth Cardello Gets a Little Bigger

The shelves are dusted. The filing cabinets are organized. And tomorrow, a brand-new door opens in the Billionaire World.

For weeks, we’ve looked back at where it all started—from Dominic Corisi’s "too alpha" beginnings in 2010 to the secret experiments that brought the "Separated at Birth" twins back together. We’ve talked about the cameos, the crossovers, and the healing power of a true happy ending.

But tomorrow isn't about the past. Tomorrow is about Firebrook Valley.

Why Firebrook Valley?

When I sat down to write this new series, I knew it had to be part of the world you’ve grown to love. I wanted to introduce you to new families with their own secrets, their own struggles, and their own path to love—but I also wanted it to feel like coming home.

If you’ve been following the Corisis, the Barringtons, and the Westerlys, you know that no one truly disappears. Firebrook Valley is full of the same heart, humor, and "potato chip" addictiveness that keeps us all coming back for more.

A Note to My Readers

Writing these stories has always been my way of finding comfort in a crazy world. Knowing that you find that same comfort in these pages is the greatest reward I could ask for.

Whether you are meeting a billionaire hero for the first time or waiting for Judy Corisi to finally drop her "dating bombshell" on her father, I am so grateful you’re on this journey with me.

Set your alarms. Charge your Kindles. Tomorrow, we go to Firebrook.

From Heartbreak to Healing: The Secret Origins of the "Separated at Birth" Series

Sometimes, the best stories start in the most unexpected places. For me, this series began 30,000 feet in the air on a transatlantic flight.

While the rest of the cabin slept, I was tucked into my seat with my headphones on, watching a documentary about twins who had been separated at birth only to find each other decades later. At first, it felt like a "feel-good" story. But as the minutes ticked by, the true nature of the social experiment behind their separation unfolded. By the time that plane touched the ground, I wasn't just awake—I was horrified.

I knew right then that I needed to write a happy ending for these men. Not just for my readers, but for my own sanity.

Turning Tragedy into "The Switch"

That flight was the birth of The Switch Series (Strictly Business and Out of Love). I wanted to take that premise and infuse it with the joy and heart I felt was missing from the real-world story. I created a businessman and a farmer—identical twins who swap lives to save one another’s businesses. Writing their journey healed my heart a little, but the world I was building wasn't finished.

As the first set of twins found their happily-ever-afters, I started wondering about the others still out there in the dark. That curiosity led to the Twin Find Series and the Twin Dare Series, where more brothers stepped out of the shadows and into the lives of amazing women who brought out the best in them.

A Mission to Heal

Finally, I reached the man I considered the most tragic victim of the "experiment." Giving him a happy ending in Out of Secrets felt like the final piece of a puzzle.

While this series is a mystery that lightly reflects the details of that real-life documentary, it is primarily a story of reclamation. As a writer, I don’t just write to entertain; I often write to heal something within myself. This series allowed me to take a situation that made me incredibly sad and rewrite the narrative into the way I wish it had worked out for everyone involved.

The Greatest Gift

Reading has always been my sanctuary when the world feels a little too crazy. I regularly receive messages from you all telling me that my books bring you comfort during difficult times.

Knowing that a story I wrote to comfort myself ended up bringing that same peace to someone else is the most wonderful gift a reader could ever give me.
