Igniting Impulse

Whisper Creek knows how to grow without losing itself.

When Olivia Garcia arrives in the small Maine town as its new assistant city planner, she's focused on sustainability, community, and proving she belongs at the table. She's not looking for complications-especially not in the form of Patricia "Patty" Pierce.

Patty is a force of nature: a brilliant, eco-conscious builder with deep roots in Whisper Creek, unapologetic confidence, and a life she's built entirely on her own terms. She's older, experienced, and very aware of the power dynamics between them. What begins as professional tension quickly becomes something neither woman can ignore.

Their attraction is immediate-but acting on it isn't simple.

Igniting Impulse is a contemporary romance about desire that doesn't rush, power that's acknowledged rather than denied, and the quiet intensity of choosing something real. Set against a town that values intention over expansion and weather that demands respect, this story is about two women who recognize in each other not just chemistry-but a shared vision of the future.

Passionate without being explicit, grounded without being restrained, this is the first novel in the Whisper Creek series-where love is deliberate, attraction is unmistakable, and nothing worth building comes without intention.
