Note to the Reader: She Arrives is a novelette and book 1 introducing the Romancing The Expats Series. This book features the first 5 chapters for free, and then the rest of the story can be found in The Change, Romancing The Expat Series Book 2. This is not a complete book, only the introduction to the story. I hope you enjoy the free introductory chapters.

How did her life fall apart so fast? Divorced at 48 years old, living in a city she can no longer afford, not to mention traffic and fast pace of life, and discontented with her job, Patty Brooks can’t take it one second longer. Life wasn’t supposed to be like this. She was supposed to grow old with her husband, retire, enjoy life. Now single and pushing 50, how in the world is she supposed to start over with barely enough money to survive?

Broke, alone, and divorced, Patty Brooks doesn’t have a lot of choices. Against the wishes of her daughter and sister, she journeys to Mexico when an old friend invites her for a visit. But when she arrives in a country so different from her own, she begins to learn what’s truly important in life and what it feels like to be free.

When Patty meets Miguel Moreno, will she let the handsome business man lure her deeper into the Mexican Riviera?
