Nothing But Friends is live.

Holly and Dexter are finally here.

My best friend Holly wants my baby.
Not a relationship, not romance.
Just a baby.
We’ve been friends since high school: nights sneaking out, sharing peanut butter sandwiches on her mom’s garage roof… but never more than that.
No cuddles.
Hardly even hugs.
And now she’s proposing we make a baby together – the old-fashioned way – with conditions:
No feelings involved.
No complications.
Definitely no kissing.
I should have said no right there. To all of it.

Thank you for every preorder, every message, every comment, every bit of excitement you shared with me.

“Nothing But Friends” is available on Amazon.

I hope you fall a little bit in love with these two the way I did.

One Week Until Holly & Dexter

Holly Has a Proposal

One week until Holly & Dexter.

In seven days, “Nothing But Friends” will officially be out in the world.

Holly and Dexter have known each other forever. Childhood friends. History. The kind of connection that feels safe enough to say, “I want your baby.”

Which is exactly why Holly came up with a very logical plan:

No romance.

No feelings.

Just one tiny little baby pact between friends.

The text that started it all:

Holly walks into this conversation with notes.

Dexter walks into it completely unprepared for what she’s about to ask him.

And after that? 

The rules stop feeling so clear.

Because once Dexter stops pretending he’s unaffected… well.

You’ll see.

Over the last week, I’ve been reading your ARC messages and your reactions to the audiobook samples on Instagram, and I just want to say thank you. Seeing your excitement for Holly and Dexter has made me even more excited to finally share this book with you.

If you’ve already preordered, thank you so much.

And if you haven’t yet, there’s still time.

“Nothing But Friends” releases on May 26, 2026.

One more week until Holly and Dexter officially stop being mine and become yours.🤍

Next time I email you, the book will be out.

Nothing But Friends: Cover and Narrator Reveal

Hi reader,

Well, you made that easy. So many of you voted, and the result is clear: Cover 1 won by a mile. The male cover with the paper pieces officially takes the crown.

And since we’re sharing updates, I finally get to tell you who’s bringing this story to life in audio.

“Nothing But Friends” is a DUET multi-cast production starring:

Vanessa Edwin
and Anthony Palmini

Featuring:

Sean Masters,
Zara Hampton-Brown,
and James Cassidy

This story started with a simple idea.

Two best friends. No feelings, no strings, just one very clear goal: help her have a baby, then let her go. The problem? He didn’t plan on falling for her.

I spent part of last week listening through the files from the studio. And I loved it. Like, genuinely completely loved it.

Anthony and Vanessa absolutely nailed the tension. The chemistry in certain scenes, it was even better than I’d hoped! But what I loved most was hearing all five narrators together. Sean and Zara made me giggle immediately. And James… OMG. You’ll know it when you hear it.

Here’s a tiny (fun!) glimpse of the five voices on IG:

“Nothing But Friends” releases on May 29th, and the audiobook will be available across all major retailers worldwide within 45 days of the release date.

Whispersync will be available shortly after the audiobook release, usually within a few days across all platforms.
