Oh hello!
Every time I'm about to make an announcement or reveal something, Ready For It? plays in the back of my mind. And friends, I am so, so ready to finally share this with you.
I've been planning this story for a while now and working on it for a couple of months, and when I say I love these two, that's such an understatement.
Yes, I love all my book babies, but these two are special, partly because they're my first MM romance! But also because these two characters are both so sweet, sarcastic, and [whispers for effect] dirty.
And I can't wait to share it all with you! To start I've got the cover(s!), blurb, and a little teaser to pull you in.
It's time to get Caught Up...
Introducing Christian & Ian's story, Caught Up In Your Love
Blurb
Ian James is the last person I should fall for.
He’s my friend… who is ten years younger than me.
No, I shouldn’t have feelings for him.
I shouldn’t offer him my spare room when he needs a place to live, and I definitely shouldn't agree to be his fake boyfriend, but for some—incredibly stupid—reason, I do.
It's gotta be the dimples. Or his stupidly gorgeous blue eyes.
I promised myself I was going to go after what I want, but I never thought Ian would be on that list.
Now we’re living together, watching Gilmore Girls every night while his cat snuggles between us, and trying to convince everyone this thing between us is real.
Suddenly all I want is to get caught up in him, let the lines blur between fake and real, and hope that in the end, I’ll have what I want.
Him.
Christian & Ian’s story is a low angst, friends to lovers, small town, age gap romance featuring two sweet boys with dirty mouths, a spoiled fat cat who loves to steal the show, lots of tension & chemistry, adorable moments, plenty of steam, and a guaranteed happily ever after.

Ahh, that friends to lovers tension🔥
🍷Ian🍷
He nods, then walks over to the kitchen, returning a second later with the spinach artichoke dip I’d sell my left nut for.
“That appeared quickly.”
He shrugs. “I’d already ordered it for you before you walked over.”
My eyes narrow slightly, but before I can say anything, someone calls to him from the end of the bar.
He points at the dip. “Be a good boy and eat.”
Then he walks away like he didn’t just roll out that line.
The male equivalent of ‘good girl’ which if online book groups are to be believed will make a girl throw her panties at your face.
I think I get it now. I’d drop trou for that real goddamn fast.
What the actual fuck?
Why did he say that to me?
And why was my first instantaneous thought that I’d be a very good boy for him any time he asked?
💛Christian💛
I can’t believe I said ‘good boy’ to Ian.
Or that I offered to let him move in with me.
Yes, I have plenty of room. I’m always happy to help a friend when they need it.
Neither of those things were on my mind when I suggested it, though.
No, I was thinking of him walking into my living room in his boxers. Hopefully boxer briefs. The tighter the better.
No.
My cock needs to get its shit together because it cannot be hard right now.
Not when I’m flinging open my apartment door and leading Ian inside less than a half hour before midnight. Not exactly the witching hour, but it might as well be.
I’m going insane.
He’s so not into me.
I’m not even an option. Not even on his fucking radar.
Ian’s been here plenty of times before, so it’s not like I need to do some grand entrance, but I do it anyway because I’m a dumbass whose brains must’ve leaked out on the way over here.
“That view’s still sweet.” Ian crosses the room to the large windows that look out over the center of town, a park-like area with a gazebo and a fountain. It screams idyllic and picturesque, which is why I chose this place. Not just an apartment, but a beautiful long-term home in the little town that welcomed me as one of their own.
“One of the reasons I bought the place.” I don’t quite walk up next to him. I hover behind like the weird stalker I feel like I am.
I’m nine years older than him. He was in third grade when I graduated high school. Now I’m lusting after him and offering him a room in my apartment.
Oh my god, am I grooming him? Can you do that when someone is an adult?
What the actual fuck is wrong with me?
I need a drink. Or seventeen.

Behind the scenes with me...
Want to know what I'm working on right now? Listening to? Reading? What's rumbling around in my head? Well, I'm going to tell you anyway!
🖊️Currently working on: Finishing up Caught Up In Your Love
👀Currently distracting me from that: Future characters who won't stop speaking to me.
📖Currently reading: Friendly friends, I have gone down a rabbit hole into the Sadenverse (Eden Finley & Saxon James) and to say I'm obsessed would simply be a lie. I'm in LOVE. And probably a little behind on life because of it, but hey, there's always tomorrow (to finish this book & start the next).
🎧Currently listening to: See above 🙃
