Grounded in July: The Sequel to Grounded in January

"It was a charming read and a wonderful escape. I loved everything about this book and I highly recommend it." - Page Turners

From the author of the award-winning novel Grounded in January comes the romantic comedy sequel about love and the obstacles in its way.

With only a few days until the 4th of July, Inn of the Woods is blooming with love and life-changing news. The still ever-clumsy, Kate Swanson, works through the reality of her and her husband's decision to not have children by trying to convince Ox that their English Lab, Bayou, needs a puppy-sibling. But Kate doesn't stop there. She jumps headfirst into a matchmaking plan between her best friend, Ali, and prior guest, Matt, when she invites them for a summer getaway at the inn.

Multiple sclerosis warrior, pilot, and inn owner, Ox Swanson, receives devastating news, forcing him to give up his prime joy in life. To accept the change and find a new secondary income source, he'll need to overcome a long-standing fear with the assistance of Bayou's therapy skills. But will Ox's grounding news propel him to push Kate out of their marriage?

When the inn's regular guest, Maggie, who's now a Crooked River resident, announces her and Richard's engagement, she rushes to the inn to inquire about having the wedding there. However, as a widow, she's soon filled with doubt and calls it off.

Will romantic sparks fly at the inn, or will everything fizzle and fade like fireworks?
