A Life Where We Work Out

Book One in the Larkspur Series

Ellie Turner only ever wanted one thing—to get out of Larkspur, Texas.

That is, until she gets swept off her feet by a brown-eyed boy with a smile bigger than Texas, and for the first time, she’s torn between two dreams. What’s a girl to do when she needs to leave but desperately wants to stay?

Griffin Hart loves his hometown—but he loves Ellie Turner more.

He’d move heaven and earth if it meant he could have both. But how do you convince someone that leaving home doesn’t have to mean leaving everyone behind?

When Ellie pursues her dreams, taking Griffin's heart with her, they're both left facing some harsh truths—

Some dreams aren’t worth having if you have no one to share them with.
Sometimes home isn’t a place, it’s a person.


Ten years later, Ellie and Griffin find themselves in the same place at the same time again. When she returns to Larkspur as part of the committee for their 10-year class reunion, old memories stir, old wounds reopen, and old sparks reignite.

Can this reunion bring more than just former classmates back together?
