Top Five

Asked to write a book proposal for a big-time publisher, quasi-social media celebrity and creator of the blog Top Five, Quinn Sheridan, needs to escape the fast pace of her city life. She heads to her aunts' river house, where a quiet life is sure to allow her imagination to flow. But with the arrival of broken, blue-eyed Witt, Belle Creek proves to be anything but simple.

High on a guilt trip, Witt Spencer moves to Belle Creek for the summer to care for his ailing dad, a man he hasn't had the time or patience to visit, or even talk to, in years, a man whose phone number he doesn't even recognize.

While Quinn battles demons like imposter syndrome and fear of abandonment, all stemming from her mother's death, Witt struggles with a few of his own. As a young boy, being deserted by an unforgiving mother and raised by his all-too-sweet father, he finds himself unable to address his feelings of dislike and disappointment.

When Witt tries to engage Quinn in conversation, he doesn't expect to fall into her lap-let alone into love.

When Quinn tries to keep Witt far away, she doesn't expect him to pop into her head at every waking moment.

A hope-filled book with small-town charm and big secrets, Top Five delves into family relationships, love, and loss and will have you cheering for two broken souls to find their happily-ever-after.
