I have a cover reveal for you today! JUST A FAVOR, my next romance, is set in the seaside town of Seaglass Landing and I can't wait for you to meet the two people who've been living rent-free in my head.
Especially Jack Archer.
Oh, Jack.
He's a bestselling thriller author with writer's block, a truck full of dogs, and enough emotional baggage to require its own zip code. He's grumpy, guarded, and has absolutely no intention of falling in love.
Which is adorable, really, considering what happens next.
Enter Maggie Rivers.
Maggie's spent years convincing everyone she's fine, even when life has other ideas. She's funny, stubborn, fiercely independent, and perfectly capable of handling her own problems.
Except for one teeny, tiny white lie about having a boyfriend.
And wouldn't you know it, the grumpy stranger who rescued her on a rainy roadside turns out to be the perfect candidate for the job.
One fake boyfriend. One very real attraction. And two people who have absolutely no business falling in love.
What could possibly go wrong? Well. Everything. Obviously.
The boyfriend is fake. The feelings are real. The trouble? He's leaving.
Here's a little taste of what you're getting into.
Maggie, on Jack: He was a unicorn. A 6’2” grumpy unicorn with great shoulders. Also? He kissed like he’d been saving it.
And Jack to his brother, confessing to his brother just how much trouble he’s in: “She makes me want things. Things I don’t get to have.”
My brother clapped me on the shoulder. “Congratulations on the dumbest sentence of the month.”
(Honestly, sometimes the supporting cast says exactly what we're all thinking.)
If you love...
❤️ A grumpy hero who's secretly a complete softie
❤️ Fake dating that gets dangerously real
❤️ A heroine who's stronger than she knows
❤️ Found family, meddling relatives, and a seaside town with absolutely no respect for privacy
❤️ Dogs, one judgmental cat, and a man who shows up when it matters most
❤️ Laugh-out-loud moments mixed with the kind of love that sneaks up on you and refuses to let go
...then I wrote this one for you.
But underneath all the banter and kissing (and trust me, there's kissing), this is a story about two people who've survived some hard things. Maggie is learning that being strong doesn't mean she has to do everything alone. And Jack? He’s a man with one foot already out the door, discovering that the woman he never meant to love might be the one person worth changing his plans for.
I fell hard for these two. I hope you will, too.
JUST A FAVOR is available for preorder now! Preordering is one of the loveliest ways to support a book before it arrives in the world, and I'm so grateful for every single one of you who does.
(Print and audio links will be coming soon!)
Thank you for reading my stories, cheering on my characters, and loving my fictional men even when they make spectacularly stupid decisions.
Especially then.
P.S. I have to know: Which gets you every time—a grumpy hero who falls first, or a fake boyfriend who forgets he's supposed to be pretending? Personally, I have a weakness for both. Which explains Jack.
