Quarantined in Maplewood / Maplewood (ePub)

In "Quarantined in Maplewood," dive into a small town where love and laughter persist even as the world is turned upside down by the COVID-19 pandemic. Meet Elara, a nurse practitioner whose idea of a fun night in her cozy clinic does not include battling a global pandemic. With her trusty sidekick Megan, who can find humor in even the most dire of glove shortages, Elara navigates the chaos with wit, coffee, and an occasional wish for a more potent drink. Amidst the frenzy, Elara finds herself in an unexpected romantic whirlwind with Lucas, a charming but overly serious doctor who believes social distancing includes avoiding personal questions. Set against the backdrop of a picturesque town that could double as a set for a Hallmark movie (if Hallmark movies featured masked heroes and had a budget for PPE), this rom-com will have you laughing and swooning in equal measure. Watch as Elara and Lucas dance around each other (figuratively and literally, at a COVID-safe distance) while attempting to save Maplewood from the virus.

From awkward first (masked) kisses to romantic confessions during a health crisis, "Quarantined in Maplewood" is a feel-good tale of finding love where you least expect it-like, literally the last place on Earth you'd look during a global pandemic. It's a story about the power of laughter, love, and a well-timed hand sanitizer squirt in the face of adversity.
