When I turned 18, I got a tattoo because “I could” - this silly little purple flower that meant nothing to me.
Fast forward 18 years and I inked this. And it’s a bit more meaningful to me.
It reads, “All that is gold does not glitter, not all those who wander are lost.” It’s written in Tolkien’s Elvish language, Tengwar.
Let’s just say my the Lord of the Rings loving, Middle Earth obsessed self… is ecstatic!
Huge shoutout to @eddinejr at Enigmatic Tattoo - not only did he deliver exactly what I had in mind, but he eased my anxiety and meticulously doubled checked each line, swirl, and symbol for absolute perfection.

You never forget your first love.
Joshua Templeton married the wrong woman. Tess Browning was never meant to be his wife. He never should have said I do – but... she also never should have slept with the neighbor.
When divorce shatters the illusion of perfection, Josh reels from the mistakes he’s made, retreating into the past to determine where it all went wrong. But when an old letter from long-lost, high school sweetheart Mavis Benson reappears, the real search for answers begins.
Ten years before, Mavis vanished from his life. The desire to finally learn the truth ignites a fire in Josh, and her memory catapults him on a journey to uncover the mystery behind why she left. But one thing is certain - the last place he ever expected to find her... was in his brother’s bed.
I LOVED YOU YESTERDAY is a heart-pounding reveal of best kept secrets. The truth is never easy, and neither is putting down this page turner. If you enjoy reading the novels of Nora Roberts or K.G. Fletcher, then you’ll love this passionate, emotionally charged, second-chance love story by award-winning author, Julie Navickas.
~I LOVED YOU YESTERDAY is the 1 st Place recipient of the BOOKFEST AWARD IN CONTEMPORARY ROMANCE, a finalist in the AMERICAN WRITING AWARDS FOR ROMANCE, and has also received the ASSOCIATION FOR WOMEN IN COMMUNICATIONS CLARION AWARD~

Baseball season’s underway – and every game, is game seven.
Austin Templeton fell in love with the wrong girl. Mavis Benson was never meant to be his. After all, from childhood, her soul belonged to his cross-town rival, twin brother, Josh. The diamond ring he’d placed on her finger sealed fate’s door.
With his heart on the IR, Austin relocates to Chicago and turns to Casey – an easy-to- love Cubs fan ready for any fastball thrown her way. She’s impulsive and reckless – everything he isn’t. And she’s exactly what he needs – two thousand miles away from past heartache.
But when a promotion in Los Angeles lands in his glove, Austin is forced to choose between the dream career he spent his life working toward and the quirky girl in Wrigley Field who stitched his heart back together. With two strikes against him in the bottom of the ninth, will Austin strike out or hit the walk-off? There’s only one way to find out.
Play ball.
I LOVE YOU TODAY is the enchanting sequel to the award-winning novel, I LOVED YOU YESTERDAY. If you enjoy reading the books of Nora Roberts or K.G. Fletcher, you'll want to grab this World Series hit. Win or go home—because one more strike could cost Austin everything—including the heart of Cinderella herself. And while it can be read as a standalone, you'll want to grab all the pennants for the winning season.
~I LOVE YOU TODAY is the dual recipient of the HIDDEN BOOKSHELF'S "2022 Book of the Year" & "2022 Sports Romance of the Year" reader's choice awards and has also received the 1st Place title with the BOOKFEST AWARDS IN CONTEMPORARY ROMANCE~

Las Vegas. The city of lights, smiles, and memories.
Lauren Templeton knew at six-years-old she would one day marry Mitch Benson. He began earning the title of soulmate the moment he let her cut in line for the swing set. Twenty years later and Mitch sealed the deal at a cheap Vegas wedding chapel. That night, the modest diamond on her finger shined brighter than all the lights in Sin City.
But as the honeymoon years of wedded bliss fade, Mitch pulls away without reason. Confused and hurt by his sudden change of heart, Lauren pours every ounce of her soul into Pier Ninety-Two—her once swanky, now barely surviving restaurant in downtown Los Angeles.
When Pier Ninety-Two burns to the ground in a grease fire, Lauren is left with nothing but sorrow, legal consequences, and a failing marriage. She reels from the sudden, heartbreaking losses—and mourns the life and love she once shared with Mitch. Fueled by the flame of injustice, Lauren stacks her chips, ready to risk it all on red, consequences be damned. After all, what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.

Tropes:
💜 Second Chance Love
💜 Vegas Marriage
💜 Unequal Social Status
💜 Redemption
💜 Different Worlds
💜 Childhood Sweethearts
💜 Threatening Divorce
💜 Opposites Attract
💜 Soulmates
Spice Level:
🌶🌶
Blurb:
For precisely $102 dollars, Mitch Benson and Lauren Templeton marry in a 15-minute ceremony inside a little Las Vegas chapel. Soulmates since elementary school, nothing makes more sense than eloping to Sin City for a secret wedding. But seven years later, the brilliant glare from the city of lights has faded.
Scratch that. The bulbs are burnt out. In fact, the wiring may have been faulty all along.
Bitterly accepting that their marriage is coming to an end, Mitch and Lauren stray further and further from the love that once blossomed on the playground of their youth. Lauren sells her soul to Pier Ninety-Two, her once-fabulous restaurant in downtown Los Angeles now a sad shadow in the Saturday night party scene. And Mitch falls into the arms—er, legs—of none other than childhood enemy, Tess Browning.
Devastated by the direction their love has spiraled, Mitch and Lauren make one last trip to the city of second chances, hoping to turn their pennies into the million-dollar love they once shared. Will their last roll be a miracle—or a mirage—in the desert?
