About Always By My Side
A hardworking introvert meets a handsome adventurer longing to settle down.
Tabitha Thomas longs to leave Trinity Lakes and travel the world in honor of the beloved grandmother who raised her and her siblings. But she’s needed at home—she’s the responsible triplet, the one who stayed home to run the family inn while her brother and sister left to live their dreams.
Kiwi Logan Wylde doesn’t call any place home. When an injury frustrates his travel plans, he accepts an invitation to return to Trinity Lakes and recuperate at the Lakeview Inn, where he hopes to rediscover his purpose in life.
When Tabby and Logan find a property deed while cleaning out Gran’s rooms, Tabby embraces a new challenge—to solve the mystery of the floodplain and renovate the old boatshed. Working with Logan reignites long-suppressed feelings, but will their differences drive them apart?

You’ll meet swoony bachelors, cowboys, and adventurers, sweet and sassy ladies, and your new best friends.

The first line I read in the book nearest to me as I’m having my breakfast is
‘I sat with the phone cradled in my hand, repeating over and over in my mind the words I planned to say’ (from Soul Friend by Jo-Anne Berthelsen) 💕
I’m not a big memoir reader, but I loved Soul Friend. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
Thanks for visiting!
