TODAY IS THE DAY,
I’m sending my fourteenth novel, Falling for Peachtree Bluff, out into the world, and I could not be more excited!
You know how we love a good house tour on Design Chic, and if you’re like us, you’ve spent plenty of time imagining life inside the matriarch of my series Ansley’s home. Today we’re taking a look inside the place where so many of Peachtree Bluff’s most unforgettable moments take place. It’s easy to see why this home becomes such an important part of the story—and why, in Peachtree Bluff, so much of the magic happens right here!
Eldest sister Caroline has never been happier. The family business is thriving, her kids are great, and her sister Emerson’s hunky costar has absolutely swept her off her feet.
But when her not-quite-ex-husband decides it’s high time he begged Caroline for a second chance, she is thrown into the midst of a love triangle she never saw coming.
Caroline is the family fixer and, when her sisters Sloane and Emerson and daughter Vivi need her help with their troubles, she has to decide whether to swoop in and save them—or if it’s finally time to focus on what she wants.
Matriarch Ansley and her new husband, Jack, have finally hit their stride.
But when a scandal rips through Peachtree Bluff—and Jack just might be at the center of it—Ansley is left questioning whether the man she has loved since she was sixteen years old, the man she fought so hard to be with, is actually who she thought he was at all.
The air is crisper,
the water is calmer,
but, when it comes to the Murphy family, nothing is ever quite as simple as it seems… Through it all, these Southern women must rely on their powerful family bonds and the quirky characters and small-town charm of the place that, no matter what, always calls them home.
And speaking of homes, when I’m creating homes on the page, I always love to draw inspiration from the pages of Design Chic.
And this gorgeous Jackye Lanham designed home in Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles Magazine so beautifully photographed by Emily Followill seemed to me the perfect place to set the story.Â
Cozy enough for family living,
Polished enough for entertaining in style,
And full of treasures collected from all stages of life,
Every space in this gorgeous waterfront home is dripping with Lanham’s fabulous, signature style. We couldn’t love it more!
