Welcome Erin Scoggins
We’re over the moon to welcome USA Today Bestselling Author Erin Scoggins to the Harpeth Road family with a two-book deal! Erin’s Sunrise Beach Series begins with:
The first in series, The Next Best Thing, a heartwarming romantic comedy about a savvy but kitchen-challenged food trend forecaster returning to the charming coastal town of Sunrise, NC, to sell her late grandmother's café, only to clash with a bad-boy chef squatting in the kitchen and determined to save it, to be published in April 2026.
And Every Little Thing, a heartfelt romantic comedy where a spirited veterinarian with a knack for chaos dreams of building an animal sanctuary, only to collide with a slick, single-dad developer whose high-stakes project threatens everything she holds dear, in the quirky coastal town of Sunrise, NC, to follow in August 2026.
USA Today bestselling author Erin Scoggins is a Southern storyteller with a knack for quirky humor and creating the kind of characters you’d love to chat with over a glass of sweet tea. After years in corporate marketing at a Fortune 500 company, she stepped away from the hustle to pursue her passion for writing— and she’s never looked back. Erin, the author of three lighthearted mysteries and two anthologies, has now turned her focus to a delightfully heartwarming and humorous new romance series with Harpeth Road. She’s thrilled to be crafting happily ever afters that celebrate love, laughter, and community, always with a sprinkle of Southern charm. When she’s not writing, Erin can be found testing new recipes, chauffeuring her three teenagers around town, or dreaming up her next story over a plate of chicken and dumplings.
