I’m looking for one exclusive beta reader for each of my Hallmark-Style Adult Fiction Series (clean reads).
This is more than just a one-time opportunity — it’s a chance to become a trusted partner in bringing these stories to life (currently sitting at 25 novels each).
The Series
1. The Heart of Silver Ridge
Tagline: "In a small Montana town, the road to love winds through every season."
Series set in a charming Montana town where friendships are deep, romance blooms in every season, and each book follows a new couple while continuing the community’s ongoing storylines.
2. The Rosewood Case Files
Tagline: "In Rosewood, every truth has deep roots."
Clean crime drama set in a picturesque small town where a local historian teams up with the police to solve cases—some decades old, others fresh and dangerous—while protecting the peace of their beloved community.
3. Willow Creek Mysteries
Tagline: "Every quilt has a story… but some are murderously unfinished."
Cozy mystery series about a widowed quilt shop owner who, with the help of her retired police chief father and quirky townsfolk, solves small-town crimes tied to the intricate stories behind handmade quilts.
4. Dr. Grace Morgan, Frontier Healer
Tagline: "She came to heal the town — and found a place that could heal her heart."
Historical romance set in the late 1800s, following a determined female doctor navigating frontier life, gaining the trust of skeptical townsfolk, and finding unexpected love along the way.
