Los Angeles – Present Day

Hailey Harris is a much-in-demand life coach and social media influencer. But she hasn’t let on what is really the secret to her success: she sometimes has visions of the future while working with the people who hire her. And sometimes, they don’t even have to be a client but someone she knows. Years ago, she warned former high school schoolmate Warren Mitchell not to attend a football tryout because she had visions of something terrible happening. He didn’t go and blames Hailey for missing out on an opportunity with a top-tier football team. 

An earthquake happens and, in the aftermath, Hailey needs the services of a pool repair person. She calls her usual pool repair company, but it is the son of the owner who arrives. Liam Jensen is her ex-boyfriend, and they broke off years ago because he didn’t approve of her plans to become a life coach. Liam is back and sparks are seemingly sparking between them—until Liam introduces Hailey to his fiancé, Sonia. But Hailey has a double vision in which Liam is unhappy, and Sonia is crying. What does that mean? Then Hailey is asked by them to be part of the wedding planning and party. Which means she will be working closely with the best man, Warren Mitchell. 

Hailey believes she should break up Liam and Sonia but how can she do it without appearing like a spurned ex in ALL SIGNS POINT TO MALIBU? She isn’t sure that the visions she saw are true but what if they are and the now happy couple end up making the biggest mistakes of their lives? Sonia appears to be a nice person, and she has latched onto Hailey and asks her in secret to be her life coach. Hailey knows Liam won’t like it because he hates her choice of work. Meanwhile, working with Warren turns out to be a pain in the rear. He thinks she is a fraud and now they are forced to plan an engagement party together. How well will they work together? Yet, the more they are forced together, the more they begin to respect each other. Are readers watching a future Hailey/Warren hookup?

Hailey and Warren are good together even if they can’t see it. But there are soon sparks flying between them in ALL SIGNS POINT TO MALIBU. Neither wants to admit it, but it can’t be denied. She doesn’t tell him the truth about what the future holds for Liam and/or Sonia, or that she has visions of the future. Warren stands by his best friend Liam, and Hailey continues to get to know Sonia, whom she discovers is a nice person, though she lacks self-confidence. While the foursome rarely is in the same room together, they are a big part of this tale. Hailey and Warren continue to bicker off and on, but he soon grows to admire her work as a life coach. He may not need one in his job as a football coach, but that doesn't mean others don’t. Things soon come to a head when not only does the engagement party experience some rockiness, but the wedding is soon moved up. How will everything be handled? Readers suspect something will happen to disrupt it all. 

A cute and funny tale with an intriguing couple, don’t miss ALL SIGNS POINT TO MALIBU.
