A Book Series: Thirty Love
A trilogy about growing up, growing apart, and finding your way back.
When Love Meant Nothing
Youth. Recklessness. Secrets.
Synopsis
In 1999, the Fitzhollow High varsity tennis team is untouchable.
They are the golden kids of their small Texas lake town—winning matches, breaking hearts, and spending every free moment together at Singer Estate on the shores of Lake Fitzpatrick.
At the center of the team are Allison Nash and Kasey Hayes: best friends, mixed doubles partners, and eventually each other's undoing.
But graduation arrives carrying consequences none of them are prepared for.
A secret relationship.
A hidden pregnancy.
A devastating flood.
A death that fractures the town forever.
Twenty years later, the surviving members of the team reunite for a wedding at Singer Estate.
What begins as a celebration quickly unravels into a weekend of old resentments, buried truths, and the revelation that one secret has shaped all of their lives.
Because some stories don't end when you leave town.
They wait.
When Love Meant Everything
Regret. Nostalgia. Second chances.
Synopsis
Twenty years after graduation, the Class of 2003 returns home.
The tennis courts are cracked. The water tower still stands.
And everyone arrives carrying the version of themselves they wish they'd become.
The reunion was supposed to be one night.
Instead it becomes a reckoning.
As Allison, Kasey, Miles, Hannah, Julian, and Scott gather beneath string lights overlooking Lake Fitzpatrick, old relationships reignite and old wounds reopen.
Meanwhile, through flashbacks to their college years, the truth behind what happened after graduation finally emerges.
The years nobody talks about.
The years when friendships dissolved.
When careers began.
When marriages formed.
When dreams quietly died.
When the people who once knew everything about each other slowly became strangers.
But one unresolved question still lingers between Allison and Kasey. And twenty years later, neither of them has escaped it.

When Love Meant Something
Acceptance. Perspective. Maturity.
Synopsis
Five years after the reunion, tragedy calls them back.
This time, it's a funeral.
The death of someone who once stood at the center of their lives forces the former teammates back to Fitzhollow for the first time since the reunion changed everything.
They arrive older.
Wiser.
Some divorced.
Some remarried.
Some raising children who are now the age they were when the story began.
As they gather to say goodbye, long-buried memories from their twenties resurface:
The years after college.
The careers that succeeded.
The relationships that failed.
The mistakes they still can't forgive themselves for.
And the moment each of them realized that growing older didn't mean leaving the past behind.
Because grief has a way of exposing what still matters.
And sometimes the person you lose teaches you what love actually was all along.
