Hey !

We are halfway through this week and over halfway through January. I don't know what it's like where you live, but this January has been a rollercoaster with the weather. One minute it feels like spring, the next it feels like I live in Antartica. I'm hoping the rest of our winter is more steady, preferably with little to no more snow 😂 (I am NOT a fan of snow, in case you couldn't guess.)

There's not a whole lot new for me to report on the writing front. I've been slowly working through rewrites of Scarlett's Scars and am getting so excited to share this story with you all! Eric and Scarlett are the first couple I've ever written and it's crazy to see how far they've come since I started their journey over SIX YEARS AGO! I've treasured every second. ♥️

I'm officially cursed...

With every job I've ever had, my boss has been ridiculously attractive yet beyond aggravating. I know what you’re thinking… That doesn’t sound so bad Livia. But believe me, it’s a terrible combination. And it just keeps getting worse. I'm stuck in an unbreakable loop where I can't stand the alpha-male, boss man a moment longer and I have to quit. I’ll never make the mistake of dating one again.

I don't know if I need to start searching for four-leaf clovers or place a couple of lucky pennies inside my shoe, but something has to help break this curse. No matter my luck, or lack thereof though, I refuse to back down anymore. I've landed my dream job; the frustrating boss man won't push me out this time. But I have one more dilemma... I'm dang attracted to this one as well. Even though I won't admit it to anyone--including myself--Ryan Cartwright may be the hottest and most aggravating of them all. I can't stand to be in the same room with him, yet all I can look at is... him!

Now, he's asked me to be his fake fiancée on a tropical getaway with his family so he can avoid some crazy relationship his parents keep throwing at him.

No thanks! But when he offers me the position I've been longing for, how's a girl to say no? Especially when he’s asking me with those sky blue eyes and a smile that could melt any girl's heart. The swoon meter is in real trouble now. But I'm determined to keep him at arm's length no matter the cost. I’m not about to lose my heart to someone who'd crush it. Besides, I made a pact with my roommates a while back, and I'm not about to break it again.

(Snuggle in tight with a sweet and clean romantic comedy full of laugh-out-loud moments, quirky characters, and swoony kisses that will have you sighing for all the right reasons.)

📖 NEW BOOK 📖

One of my dear friends is releasing her debut novel on January 24, 2023! It is a Christian Romantic Suspense packed full of faith. (My favorite kind!)

I finished reading it last week and it was phenomenal! You can check it out and preorder it here: In the Midst of the Storm

A deadly threat. A woman in hiding. A man who isn't all he seems.

Olivia James is on the brink of success at a prestigious marketing firm. But when a deadly stalker sets his sights on her, she’s forced to leave everything behind and go into hiding to protect herself and those she loves.

While volunteering her marketing expertise to help a struggling café, she meets William Cooper. Their brewing attraction has her longing to share her secret and deepen their connection. But the closer she gets to Will, the more withdrawn and secretive he becomes.

Uncertain who to trust—even herself—can Olivia discern God’s plan and trust Him in the midst of the storm?

In The Midst of The Storm is perfect for fans of C.C. Warrens, Collen Coble, Irene Hannon, and Lisa Phillips

That's all I have for you today! I hope you have a fabulous day and rest of the week!

We'll talk soon!
