**BIO**
Freda
was born in southern New Jersey but grew up in Florida. She has loved
writing her entire life. After retiring from a career in law enforcement, she
knew it was time to fulfill her lifelong dream of being a published author.
She's the author of The Hawaii Series, proudly named from her love of the beautiful Hawaiian Islands. It's a three-book series with all of them written as standalone books.
Freda loves her large family, horses, dogs, cat, and close friends. She hosts monthly family dinners at her home in the country, which she shares with her husband.
She loves baking (she owned and operated a cupcake business for years), cooking, yoga, crocheting, nature and traveling with the love of her life.
What helps her write? Music makes her happy! If music doesn't give her the right motivation, she puts on a romantic movie, usually from the Hallmark Channel, which she can't get enough of!
Freda speaks her mind and pushes perfection to its limit. She strives to be her best, most positive self she can be in life. With time, determination, and practice, she believes anything is possible.

**TRAILER*
**EXCERPT**
Scanning the beach,
a tall, shirtless man with black wavy hair who looked just like the grump from
earlier caught her attention. Following a double take, she frowned as she sat
forward to watch him, her body undeniably warming up as Dash dropped to the
sand to do push-ups.
After doing several,
he jumped up and did a round of high knees followed by jumping jacks. He
repeated the circuit a few more times as his daughter built a sandcastle
nearby.
“Huh, the man knows
a good workout, I have to give it to him. He must do it often to have that
body.” She muttered at the window.
Her hands flew to
her mouth as Hope walked over and sat next to her. “I can’t believe I just said
that.” She glanced at her companion who stood on all fours peering at her.
“Of course you want
to go out now when there’s a half-naked, obnoxious man exercising in front of
our house.” The dog danced around.
She sauntered down
the steps while Hope led the way to the door. Grabbing the clean-up bags on the
foyer table, Mia eyed herself in the mirror. Smoothing the sides of her hair,
she put tinted sunscreen on her lips, all the while being stared down by her
dog.
“Don’t judge. You
know I like to protect my face…and my lips are part of this.”
Opening the door,
she plucked the sunglasses from the table and followed her pooch to the grass
in front of the house.
When Hope finished
her business, Mia led the way across the bicycle path to the beach. Thankfully,
her neighbor had vacated the front of her house.
Perusing each
direction, she noticed Allie splashing in the water near their villa. Her gaze
shifted inland by the dunes landing on shirtless Dash whose skin glistened in
the sun.
Gawking for a
second, she turned around and started to walk the other way when she heard a
voice. “Hi Mia!”
She stopped in her
tracks and turned to see the sweet smile closing the distance. “Well, hello
Allie. How’s the water?”
“It’s so nice. Can
Hope play with me?” Cutting her eyes to Dash, he flicked his head while
extending and stretching his legs.
“Of course, as long
as your dad doesn’t mind.”
“Will you come with
me to ask him? And you two can talk and watch us play.” The brown eyed girl
shrugged with a grin.
Muffling a sigh, she
looked at her. “Um—sure let’s go.” She could see the excitement on the girl’s
face.
As they approached,
he stood with his hands propped on his well-defined hips. “I didn’t think we’d
see you for a while.”
Before she could
address his snarky remark, Allie asked, “Daddy, can I play with Hope in the
water? Please?”
He eyed Mia as a
corner of his mouth curled up before turning back to his daughter. “Well, since
you asked this time then yes, you can. Keep an eye on the waves, okay?”
She and the dog took
off running as she yelled, “Thank you! I will!”
Dash chuckled at her
while Mia offered, “I’ll keep an eye on them if you want to go do…whatever.”
The man snickered.
“Is that your not so subtle way of telling me you don’t want to be around me?”
