Happy March everyone! Fool’s spring is in full swing here in NY. AKA it warms up just long enough to fool you into thinking it'll stay that way before dropping again—it’s 18°F today but will be 60 later this week. šŸ™ƒ

I hope you're all staying warm—or cool—comfortable & cozy with some great books.

Speaking of books… how do you feel about a cover reveal?! But shh, it's just between us for the next few days.

also in this email: another Jamie & Amanda teaser, a chance to read their story early, & a featured book🩷



The Future Play cover reveal!

Oh heyyy, Jamie šŸ˜ (no wonder Amanda has heart eyes for him)

Amanda Hamilton threw me off my game.

From the moment the strawberry-blonde heartstopper walked into my life, everything changed.

She’s a mesmerizing force of nature and an absolute queen who deserves the world.

The thing is, I’m an idiot who’s already in a committed relationship with baseball. Without understanding how much she means to me, I screw everything up, and when I try to apologize, I’m met with an icy stare and a demand to prove I mean it.

As I work to do that, showing her my sincerity and slowly taking down the walls around her heart, I finally see the heartbroken girl beneath who wants nothing more than to be chosen and loved.

Once, I thought I couldn’t have baseball and love, but with every second I spend with Amanda, I know it’s no longer a choice. She wormed her way into my heart, and now it’s my job to prove I’m worthy of hers.

Every step I've made has been a play for the future I want. Now I'll do anything to show Amanda that while baseball may have been my first love, she's the love of my life, and the only person I want to share my future with.

Returning to the small town where she’d been vilified as a teen, Astrid Hart was unhappy, yet determined to make it work. ⁣⁣

⁣⁣

Stepping on a few toes while doing her new job at the local newspaper? Not a problem.⁣⁣

Handling her old classmates who still held a grudge against her? No issues.⁣⁣

But seeing Tyler Kane’s face again? That was a different story. ⁣⁣

⁣⁣

Now that they were both together again in the same small town, avoiding her once-best friend was no longer an option. Even worse, he’d integrated himself into the life she’d left behind, not to mention her family adored him. ⁣⁣

⁣⁣

Astrid couldn’t let go of the grudge she still harbored against Tyler.⁣⁣

While she’d always been there for him, on the night she needed him the most he hadn’t been there for her. ⁣⁣

⁣⁣

She had fallen for her best friend while he had her firmly in the friend zone during their childhood. But their adulthood saw a change in direction. ⁣⁣

⁣⁣

And even though it seemed he might be starting to feel the same way, all she could think about was that Tyler Kane had broken every promise he had ever made.⁣⁣


Every Broken Promise is coming March 12th

Jamie & Amanda's book is finished & off to my editor! Now I'm pivoting to something lighthearted and fun. I'll share some teasers soon, but for now, I'm going to keep shouting about Jamie & Amanda. They're angsty, emotional, and all the heart-eyes. (My favorite things!) Are you as excited as I am?
