Finally Forever
Winning the dance competition could land Caroline her dream job but at the cost of her heart.
Former competitive dancer Caroline Novak dreams of leaving the corporate world to work with special needs women at the Pathways non-profit, but the organization can’t afford a full-time director. All-American defensive end Ben Allen was on his way to the NFL when a knee injury sent him home and into the same office as Caroline, his best friend’s older sister. When Pathways participates in a Dancing with the Stars-inspired fundraiser, Caroline quickly volunteers, and Ben joins her as the local “star.”
It doesn’t take long for Ben to realize it’s more than a dance competition, and Caroline is more than his best friend’s sister, but after two failed engagements, she’s hesitant to trust her heart with another man. When the NFL calls Ben, it looks like his dream might finally come true—but it could cost them the championship and Caroline her heart.

Reviews
“Summer Plans and Other Disasters has lots of beautiful Northern Michigan settings, cautionary tales about what happens when you try to plan your life out to the smallest detail, the rescue of a damsel-in-distress, a swoonworthy hero and subsequent kissing scene, and plenty of laugh-out-loud moments. In short: it’s a book you shouldn’t miss!” 5-Stars
“I thoroughly enjoyed this fun read. Callie is such a great character. She’s one of those women who likes to have a plan, but when she visits her brother for the summer, her plans go awry! Mix together an old boyfriend and her brother’s best friend into the equation, and you have a crazy summer adventure. Beery’s secondary characters and Callie’s continual mishaps had me laughing out loud, while the romance was sigh-worthy. I loved it!” 5-Stars
