About Colleen:

Colleen Marie writes sweet inspirational small-town romance with a sprinkle of humor, Irish luck, and southern charm. You can always count on stories full of beautiful country settings, quirky small towns, memorable characters, and clean, heartwarming romance. She earned her MFA in Creative Writing and is a member of the American Christian Fiction Writers.

Colleen Marie lives in a small town in Maryland with her husband, three children, and crew of lovable animals. When she’s not writing, you can find her teaching biology at a local university, visiting her parents in Bethany Beach, or wrestling her adorable Australian shepherd puppy to keep him out of trouble—which is often a losing battle!

Kayleigh’s Knight


A sweet small-town romance with a sprinkle of humor and Irish luck!


Kayleigh O’Reilly has worked hard to have the perfect life. Graduating at the top of her class, her dream of becoming a writer is within reach when she's awarded a spot in the renowned Creative Writing Program at Emerald Isle University. Just as all of her dreams are coming true, her world is turned upside down when her boyfriend breaks up with her the day she leaves for Ireland.

In the land of Saints and Scholars, Kayleigh begins her freshman year broken-hearted and in need of inspiration. Hope comes in the form of Seamus Murphy, the local fisherman and ruggedly handsome poet, and his offer to rent a small uninhibited cottage by the sea so she can focus on her writing. Feeling free for the first time, Kayleigh begins a journey with renewed faith and hope in the dreams blooming deep in her heart.

Inspired by the enchanting small town of Cloverdale, Kayleigh accepts a position at the local newspaper. The future is bright until she uncovers a deadly plot to revenge a decades old feud. Danger looms over the town and Kayleigh must decide who she can trust and if true love is worth the risk. As the storm threatens to destroy, will Kayleigh finally be able to find the words to write her own story?
