About this ebook
Set in the sun-soaked world of California surf culture, Sidelined Souls is an emotional, accidental pregnancy romance about life changing surprises, shattered boundaries, and two childhood sweethearts forced to decide if their love is worth risking everything for.
With his wildest dreams on the line, Archer Ramos has only one goal: to be drafted into the professional football league following his final college season. But nothing shakes his focus like his childhood best friend and first love, Allie Evans. They broke each other’s hearts years ago, vowing not to risk their friendship again. So, when Archer takes a trip home to Pacific Shores for the summer, he’s determined to uphold the boundaries he and Allie set—no matter how many times they’ve fallen back into old patterns.
But they’ve never been good at following their own rules, and this most recent rendezvous is no different.
Allie has dreams of her own. As a culinary school graduate, dance instructor, and fresh off a break-up with her insufferable ex-boyfriend, her top priority is herself. Until a routine doctor’s appointment ends in her receiving life-altering news. She’s pregnant. Her first instinct is to rush to Archer, but with his future hanging in the balance, Allie hesitates.
In an instant, everything around them changes, which threatens to crumble the foundation they’ve spent their entire life building—the friendship, the romance, and their trust.
As months pass, and they redefine their roles in life, forced to confront their deepest fears and forge a new path forward, Allie and Archer must decide if their soul-deep connection is worth the fight, or if they’ll leave love on the sidelines.

About the author
Sarah fell in love with reading as a child. She quickly learned that books can take her to all the places she always dreamed of going, and allow her to live endless lifetimes in the one that she was given.
Sarah believes that a good romance novel can make even the darkest days a little bit brighter, and in the kind of love stories that make even the skeptics believe in all that cheesy stuff like soulmates. She hopes to produce stories that readers can pick up, and regardless of what's weighing them down in life, feel a little lighter when they finish.
Sarah was born in California and raised in Southern Oregon, and still considers herself a Pacific Northwest gal at heart; right down to being a coffee snob, adamantly believing in Sasquatch, and feeling like rain drenched forests are a form of therapy.
Sarah now resides in Arizona with her husband, Mike, and their dog-baby, Rue. When she's not writing, she's likely reading, and if she's not reading, odds are she's out searching for a decent cup of coffee, or a rainy pine forest.
