The Salt City Diaries
About the Series
She’s stylish, single, and spectacularly unlucky in love.
Rachel Parker is ready to take on the city after a devastating breakup, but the dating scene has other plans. From commitment-phobes and smooth talkers to the kind of guys her friends warned her about, Rachel keeps falling for the wrong men—and somehow turning every disaster into a new blog post and a hilarious story over cocktails and brunch.
Through it all, her ride-or-die friends keep her sane, her heels keep her confident, and someone close to her who keeps showing up—steady, supportive, and maybe something more than she ever realized.
The Salt City Diaries is a sparkling series about friendships, bad dates, fabulous nights out, and the unexpected magic of falling in love with the person you least expect.
Reader Warning: This series does not have a HEA in each book. It's a story-long arc that captures the true essence of modern dating.
Book 1: Stupid Love
Rachel Parker thought she was done with heartbreak. After a messy breakup, she is ready to reinvent herself--new adventures, new apartment, maybe even a new kind of love. But navigating the modern dating scene proves trickier than she expected. Apps, almost-relationships, and too many dating faux pas later, Rachel stumbles into someone who feels ELECTRIC.
The only problem? He is completely wrong for her.
Enter Ben Healey: He's charming, exciting, and impossible to ignore, and the kind of man who makes her forget all the promises she made to herself. As sparks fly, so do red flags, and Rachel finds herself caught between what she craves in the moment and what she truly deserves in the long run.
With her ride-or-die friends by her side, Rachel must decide: Keep chasing the trill of Mr. Wrong, or finally make space for the right kind of love--whatever that looks like.
Glittering, funny, and full of heart, Stupid Love is a modern-day Sex and the City story about friendship, fresh starts, and the complicated thrill of falling for Mr. Wrong while on the search for Mr. Right.
Fans of Sex and the City will enjoy the narrative of how the story is told (much like the TV show with Carrie Bradshaw).

Book 2: Elastic Hearts
Rachel Parker is Back.
She has survived heartbreak, bad dates, and even worse texts—and turned every mistake into blog gold. He readers can't get enough of her stories of modern dating gone wrong. But behind the humor, Rachel is still wondering if real love is ever going to find her...or if she's destined to keep chasing all the wrong guys (or guy).
The one constant? Noah. Her best friend. Her rock. The guy who always picks up the phone when another date crashes and burns. He knows her coffee order, he tells her when she's lying, and the way she hides hurt behind sarcasm. He's been by her side for years.
But lately, Noah feels less like "just Noah" and more like...something else. Something she isn't sure she is ready to admit. The tension simmers in the space between their laughter, the brush of his hand, the way his eyes linger just a second too long.
As Rachel continues to navigate the minefield of love—and blogs every humiliating detail—she has to decide: will she keep chasing the wrong guys out of habit, or risk everything for the one person who could finally make her believe in love again?
Full of sharp humor, relatable mishaps, and that "could-they, should-they" slow-burn tension every reader craves, this sequel is a must-read for anyone who loves that love is messy, unpredictable, and closer than you think.
