Lily Writes

A small-town romance about risk, roots, and choosing love

There’s something a little surreal about writing these words…

LOVE DROPS is officially out in the world.

This story has lived in my head—and my heart—for a long time. It’s about the kind of love that doesn’t arrive neatly or predictably. The kind that shows up messy, inconvenient, and a little terrifying… and asks you to trust it anyway.

🌱 Meet Shay

Shay Paris isn’t looking for love.

She’s trying to save her family farm—juggling debt, long days, and a future that feels like it’s slipping through her fingers. In a town where everyone believes in fate, Shay believes in one thing: Survival.

But even she can’t ignore the quiet hope that maybe—just maybe—there’s something more waiting for her.

🎸 Enter Austen

Austen Reed is done with the life he used to live.

After years on the road as a musician, he’s ready for something real. Something lasting. And when he connects with someone through a soulmate-matching app, he knows he’s found it.

There’s just one problem… she doesn’t want a man who won’t stay.

So he does something bold. Something a little reckless.

He buys the farm next door.

💫 When Fate Gets Complicated

Shay and Austen clash from the start.

First he breaks into her house, thinking it’s his, and she wakes to him sleeping in her bed.

She sees a wealthy outsider threatening everything she’s worked for. He sees a woman who challenges him in ways he didn’t expect—and can’t walk away from.

Meanwhile, behind the safety of anonymous online messages, they’re already falling for each other.

They just don’t know it yet.

🔥 What You Can Expect

LOVE DROPS is a story about:

• Choosing love—even when it’s risky
• Finding home in a person, not just a place
• Letting go of control and trusting something bigger
• And yes… a little bit of fate (whether you believe in it or not)

You’ll find:

• Slow-burn tension that turns into something undeniable
• A protective, quietly intense hero who falls first
• A fiercely independent heroine who refuses to give up what matters most
• Small-town charm, found family, and a touch of mystery

🐔 And… Chickens

Because no farm story is complete without a little chaos.

💖 A Personal Note

At its core, LOVE DROPS asks a simple question: Is love something that happens to you… or something you choose?

Shay and Austen both start with very different answers. Watching them find their way to the same one was one of the most meaningful parts of writing this book.

I hope their story makes you smile, ache a little, and maybe believe in taking a chance on something that feels right—even if it doesn’t make sense at first.
