I made a tough decision yesterday. One that I didn't want to make. But it was the right one. (You can hurry and catch my stories on Instagram if you want.)

Vacations Like This is being postponed until January 4, 2022. It hurts to push it out that far. There's no nice way to put it. I wanted to release the perfect romcom on October 14.

I can't.

Something didn't feel right. Like it was ALMOST exactly how I wanted it, but not quite there... Would it be something anyone else would notice except me? I'm not sure. But I'm not in the business of publishing a book I'm not 100% proud of. Which is why I'm taking this extra time to make it perfect.

Why not November? you may ask. I know it may seem more natural to move a release date to November...But I'd already committed to keeping November and December my creative months. The months where I don't release anything. The months where I sit down and write stories and create. So I promise this looong wait will be with it in the end. It just hurts to disappoint readers.

Please know that I don't take this lightly.

But I want you to have the best possible story that you can.

And it will be coming on January 4, 2022. Kimber and Mack are a couple you don't want to miss—which is why I want to be sure to give their story the attention it deserves.

Happier news:

Neighbors Like That is available for free right now!

And now I'm off to make things right for Kimber and Mack. I promise it will be worth the wait.

Lots of love and awkward hugs,

I have two books for you to read! Sophie-Leigh Robbins and Remi Carrington. Closed door romcoms for the perfect back to school read! (I say that like we need an excuse to read a fun romcom. Lol!)

AND they're both available at all the major retailers!

Falling for your best friend’s brother is tricky… unless you’re keeping it a secret.

I never thought I’d be serving hotdogs dressed as an actual hotdog at the local amusement park. Not at twenty-five anyway. I know desperate times call for desperate measures, but come on... Do you know how hard it is to look good when you’re squeezing yourself in between two brown buns every day? That’s right, so hard that I’ll never get Prince Charming’s attention.

Not that it matters. He’s my best friend’s brother aka completely off-limits. But the way he looks at me makes me weak in the buns.

All I want is to get through the summer and save up some cash by playing Prince Charming at the local amusement park so I can get out of Summerville Creek before I turn thirty or – even worse – before I turn out exactly like my dad.

Falling for my sister’s best friend isn’t part of the plan, though. She’s all red hair and curves, and she’s driving me crazy in that adorable hotdog suit of hers. I try to avoid her as much as I can, but when my boss asks her to play the Princess to my Prince Charming, all bets are off. We’re park royalty now and I want the happily ever after too.

This romcom has all the laughs and sizzle but no explicit content.

 How can a good guy make me want to break all my rules?

I have three rules. One I learned as a child, and the others I learned running my lingerie store. But even following my rules, I can’t seem to meet the right kinds of guys. I only attract bad boys, and I’m sick of it.

When the gorgeous but incredibly shy deputy has me inadvertently breaking rule 1, I change my dating strategy. If bad boys seek me out, maybe it’s time I set my sights on a good guy. And, yes, the deputy with dazzling green eyes and heart-melting smile qualifies. As for the rule-breaking, it was a one-time thing.

Eli barely speaks to me, but I’m up to the challenge.

Then I break another rule for him and start to question my assumption about good guys.
