Today's the day!

Jennifer Shirk — Mon, 13 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

It's finally here!

After months of writing, editing, waiting, and counting down the days, Returning to Romance is officially available today!

I can't wait for you to meet—or reunite with—Kalinda and Clarke.

If you're looking for a feel-good summer escape, this book is packed with everything I love writing:

💛 A second chance at first love

🏖️ A charming family-run beach resort

⭐ A secret travel critic

😂 Laugh-out-loud mishaps

👭 Sisters who always have each other's backs

❤️ And a hero readers are already calling their newest book boyfriend.

One early reader wrote:

"Clarke is a new book boyfriend for me."

Another said:

"The perfect summer read."

And one of my favorite comments was:

"It was fun to feel like part of the Sunshine Sisters family."

Reading those words reminded me exactly why I love writing these stories. My hope has always been to create books that feel like a mini vacation—stories you can curl up with, smile through, and finish with a happy sigh.

If that sounds like your kind of read, I'd love for you to spend a few hours at Sunshine Sisters Resort.

2 more weeks!

Jennifer Shirk — Tue, 30 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Can you believe Returning to Romance comes out in 2 weeks????

It truly is a story about finding your way back to the person who never truly left your heart. I've always loved second-chance romances because they come with history, longing, and all those unspoken feelings that never quite disappeared.

I also had so much fun returning to Sunshine Sisters Resort. From the charming beach town and quirky guests to wedding chaos, a mischievous yellow bird named Budgie, and one very determined family fighting to save the resort they love, this story made me smile while writing it.

And then there's Clarke...

He's the kind of hero who believes walking away was the right thing to do—even though it broke his own heart in the process. Watching him and Kalinda slowly find their way back to each other became one of my favorite romances I've written.

My hope is that this story feels like checking into your favorite beach resort for a few hours—full of sunshine, laughter, swoony moments, and characters you'll want to visit again.

If you love:

🌴 Beach-town settings

💛 Second-chance romance

⭐ Secret identities

🏖 Family-run resorts

🐦 Quirky animal sidekicks

✨ Closed-door rom-coms with plenty of heart

I hope Returning to Romance becomes your next comfort read. Welcome back to Sunshine Sisters Resort!

A Thank-You, a Tease, and Looking Ahead to 2026

Jennifer Shirk — Wed, 31 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000

As 2025 comes to a close, I just want to pause and say thank you.

Releasing A Little Paris Christmas has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my writing journey so far. From heartfelt messages and thoughtful reviews to readers telling me it felt like a Hallmark movie in book form — I’ve truly felt the love this season. 🤍

Writing cozy, feel-good romance has always been about connection for me. Stories that feel like a warm drink on a cold day. Stories that remind us of hope, second chances, and love that shows up when we least expect it. Seeing A Little Paris Christmas resonate with so many of you has meant more than I can properly put into words.

And because I can’t help myself… I’m already looking ahead...

In 2026, I’ll be returning to Sunny Banks with a brand-new story — Kalinda’s story — set in the same world as Resorting to Romance. If you loved the sisters, the setting, and the small-town charm, you’ll be right at home in this next book.

She’s fighting to save her family’s beach resort. He’s the anonymous reviewer who could make—or break—it. The only problem? He’s also her ex. When a surprise wedding, a hidden identity, and lingering feelings collide, Kalinda and Clarke must decide if love deserves a second chance in this cozy, Hallmark-style beach romance.

I can’t wait to share more about this story with you in the coming months.

As we head into a brand-new year, I’m so grateful you’ve chosen to spend time in my stories. Thank you for reading, reviewing, recommending, and cheering me on.

Here’s wishing you a happy, healthy, and romance-filled 2026.

May it be filled with joy, comfort, and plenty of good books!!
