Blurb:
When Nina Archer dreamt of Wes Ladner, they were both in Florida, both runners, both writers, and both passionately attracted to each other. 

After a year and a half, Nina is growing accustomed to a new life in Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina, and though she feels as if something is missing, she doesn’t think she will ever return to the place of her birth. Despite this, she soon discovers she not only misses Florida, but she is not so sure running away was the best idea.

Wes is the man who helped Nina learn to be intimate, but a disagreement between them seems to have finalized the idea they will never be together.

While Wes’s career is on the rise, and his novel is about to become a bestseller, Nina explores her inner self while attempting to let go of her fears and accept the fact that she is worth it and deserves love.

Will Nina and Wes find each other again, or will they ignore the dreams they’ve had?

When I Dream of You brought them together. When I Think of You continues their story as they try to decide if their dreams come from something substantial, or if they are nothing more than fantasy.

An Ocean of Words: Inspiration by the beach
By Rosa Sophia

What helps you write? I write better when I’m in a warmer climate, near the ocean. I can write anywhere, but if I want to be somewhere that’s conducive to my creativity, the place I choose is South Florida.

As a writer, my number one inspiration is the ocean. I can sit and listen to the waves all day, and in those waves I hear words and phrases. I hear entire stories. When I Dream of You, and the second book in the series, When I Think of You, both take place near the beach. The romance is not as central to the story as Nina’s journey toward healing and self-actualization. Her journey is my journey.

She begins in Juno Beach, Florida. We see Jupiter, and North Palm Beach as well. In When I Think of You, Nina is living in Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina. I love all places where there is a beach. I have been to Maine twice, and spent time on the coast. I have also been to California. I like to see how beaches differ in various places, and for some reason this small detail piques my interest to the point that I am inspired to write. 


My favorite beaches are in Florida. There is an ocean of words out there. I love words, and I always see them in the ocean. Location, for me, is key. The best place to write is near water, where I can let the words flow. And let go.
