More About the Peachtree Bluff Series!
Ten years ago, while I was on tour for LIES AND OTHER ACTS OF LOVE, I had a phone call with an editor from Gallery Books that would change my life.
She suggested that writing a series would be the next right move for my career, and, in a totally unplanned and uncharacteristic move, I pitched her an idea, off the cuff, for the series that would become… Slightly South of Simple. And The Secret to Southern Charm. And The Southern Side of Paradise.
During the depths of the pandemic, I was flattered and humbled and overwhelmed by the number of readers who told me they were re-reading the series to feel safe and calm and happy during a truly terrible time. And I realized… I wanted more.
Christmas in Peachtree Bluff was born. I knew, after that, that Peachtree was over, but I had another idea, one that I thought I would just write for myself because I figured it would never be published. Enter: fabulous editor Carrie Feron who wondered… Would I want to write more Peachtree Bluff?
And I decided… the world needed a little more Peachtree Bluff! Right? Big thanks to my friends above for helping me sing about! In two weeks, FALLING FOR PEACHTREE BLUFF will be out in the world, and, I hope, on your bookshelf! Thank you again from the bottom of my heart for all your support!
About Falling for Peachtree Bluff!
Welcome to Peachtree Bluff: a cozy coastal town where family secrets refuse to be washed away by the tide and close-knit community is everything. As New York Times bestselling author Kristy Woodson Harvey reunites the Murphy crew just in time for pumpkin spice season, “we dare you not to wish you were a member of this family” (E! Online).
Eldest sister Caroline has never been happier. The family business is thriving, her kids are great, and her sister Emerson’s hunky costar has absolutely swept her off her feet. But when her not-quite-ex-husband decides it’s high time he begged Caroline for a second chance, she is thrown into the midst of a love triangle she never saw coming. Caroline is the family fixer and, when her sisters Sloane and Emerson and daughter Vivi need her help with their troubles, she has to decide whether to swoop in and save them—or if it’s finally time to focus on what she wants.
Matriarch Ansley and her new husband, Jack, have finally hit their stride. But when a scandal rips through Peachtree Bluff—and Jack just might be at the center of it—Ansley is left questioning whether the man she has loved since she was sixteen years old, the man she fought so hard to be with, is actually who she thought he was at all.
The air is crisper, the water is calmer, but, when it comes to the Murphy family, nothing is ever quite as simple as it seems… Through it all, these Southern women must rely on their powerful family bonds and the quirky characters and small-town charm of the place that, no matter what, always calls them home. This is the kind of heartfelt fall treat that “readers will unwrap with glee” (Mary Kay Andrews, New York Times bestselling author) from the “go-to for elevated beach reads” (People).
I absolutely can’t wait to share this book with the world. I hope you love it as much as I do!
