Mandy said yes.

And somewhere between a muddy Jeep, long evenings that run past midnight, and a woman who finally stopped apologizing for wanting more, an ordinary marriage turned into something braver.

Muddy Ginger is the first Beginner Model novel: a love story about real people, written the way real heat actually happens — in conversation first, and everything after.

This is where the series starts. Mandy and Dennis's story continues in Shangri-La, and the whole world of the books begins, decades earlier, in ANN.
