First things first, title reveal time. Thank you so much for all the guesses you sent in. You came up with some good ones! Some made me smile, some made me melt, and some were just plain funny.
The full cover reveal is coming next, and there’s some audiobook news I’ve been dying to tell you.
Since Halloween is around the corner, I also wanted to pass along a little treat from my friend Jenny Foster. You can download her steamy romance “Asher’s Brith: Grim” for free for a few days. Definitely check your triggers, but if you’re in the mood for something different, this one will hook you. Think dark and sexy, but with comedy to keep it light. Oh, it’s on audio too. DUET narration with Angelina Rocca, Gregory Salinas, and Oscar Reyes in a breathtaking cameo. The book is Whispersync. That means once you grab the ebook, you can usually add the audio at a crazy low price.
I’ll be sending the manuscript to my editor soon, which gives us plenty of time to get everything ready for a release in May 2026.
This one has my whole heart: childhood best friends, a baby pact, and a protective alpha who falls hard. The two main characters have lived in my head and heart for so long that makes it hard to let them go. I’ve smiled with them, ached with them, and I loved every second of writing their story.
Some of the fun bits (just a peek):
I already have the photo for the ebook from the photographer, and I teamed up with one of my favorite cover design firms. The very first draft came in and I knew instantly: this is it. I’ve never loved a cover this much.
We’re creating versions for both the ebook and a paperback, and we’re down to the last details now. I can’t wait to show you.
If you’ve been following the Faking it in NYC series, you’ll notice the covers have changed. Some are brand new, some just got a light refresh. Now they feel more unified and connected as one series.
The photo covers were shot by Michelle Lancaster and Wander Aguiar, and the illustrated paperback covers were done by my incredible illustrator Arina.
What do you think?
Here are pics showing the full combo: ebook, paperback, and audiobook together.
The book I’m currently working on (the best-friends-to-lovers romance I told you about) is coming along, and I’m completely caught up in these two characters. There’s plenty of simmering tension, which I love, but also those emotional moments that make your heart squeeze. Just yesterday I finished one of the steamiest office chapters I’ve ever done. It’s seriously hot! It’s a full-on “careful, somebody could walk in” scene, and the best part is, it’s not just about the heat. Their feelings are starting to slip through in ways neither of them saw coming.
I’ll keep you posted as I get closer to the finish line, but I couldn’t resist sharing that little teaser.
On the audiobook side, “Blind Date with the Billionaire Doc” is now in production at the studio. We had a delay due to a narrator’s schedule, but things are looking good for a release in Autumn.
This morning, I received a surprise email from Winnie at Audible.
I’m excited to share that my audiobook “The CEO Enemy” has been highlighted on Audible’s official blog in their feature “It Takes Two…”, showcasing Dual and Duet narration in Romance.
This feature celebrates some of the best dual and duet narrated romances available on Audible, and I’m honored that my book was included. Even better, it’s brought to life by the incredible Jacob Morgan and Andi Arndt, whose voices make the story unforgettable.
If you’d like to read the full post, you can check it out here:
If you ever find yourself on a blind date, there are a few golden rules to keep in mind. So, naturally, I made a list.
Buckle up and get ready for some foolproof blind date wisdom.
Who knew that blind dates could lead to that kind of delivery service?
From blind date to delivery room. Now that’s what I call a meet-cute.
Now, meet Dillan and Lizzie and see for yourself how these two opposites clash.
“Blind Date with the Billionaire Doc” is a steamy, second chance, opposites attract, accidental pregnancy romance… one you can really sink your teeth into. And your fingernails.
Here’s a little sneak peek:
“I hate to have to tell you this,” he says.
“What?”
“I think you have me confused with someone else.”
“I’m sorry. I should have introduced myself,” I reply, realizing my blunder. “I’m Lizzie.”
He nods politely. “Pleasure to meet you, Lizzie. Yet I’m still pretty sure there’s been a mix-up.”
“I’m Mrs. Loughty’s neighbor.” When he doesn’t react to the name, I frown, suddenly feeling self-conscious. I gesture to his pocket square. “Aren’t you Linda’s son? The doctor? You said you were a doctor. We’re supposed to have a blind date…”
“Well, I am a doctor. But I don’t think I am the doctor you’re supposed to meet.”
Just then, the door of the restaurant opens, and I glance over to see a man enter. He’s tall and thin, with downy red hair, and a suit that’s too big for him. Somehow, he thought the lime-green tie would work well with his red hair.
He’s talking loudly on his cell phone, absentmindedly scratching at the reddish beard on his chin.
Shit! There it is, right in his suit pocket: a haphazardly folded red silk pocket square.
Oh, no.
Oh, hell no.
The mysterious man by my side shifts his attention in the direction I’m looking. He must have seen the red square because he chuckles. “I take it that’s your blind date. What are the chances of two doctors wearing an identical pocket square in the same restaurant at the same time?”
“Yeah, I’m betting on slim to none.”
I take a chance to peek in his direction again. Heart sinking, I watch him squint my way, before looking at his phone again. He seems to be checking something over, shifting his gaze between the phone and me.
I should have known that fate wouldn’t be kind to me.
For a brief moment, I entertain the idea of turning to the handsome stranger and suggesting we pretend that we’re dating.
It’s a flawless plan. Just a tad ludicrous.
I observe Dr. Actual-Date’s gaze ping-pong between me and Dr. Wrong-Date, landing back on me.
I turn to the stranger and sink one last time into the depths of his gaze. I want to say something semi-funny like “Ha, wrong target!” or “Unexpected plot twist!” or “That was the shortest blind date of my life,” but I can’t get around to it.
A heart-stopping flash of determination in his eyes is the only warning I get.
He cups the back of my neck and pulls me into a kiss.
I said it would take a few days. Maybe 14. At most 45. It’s been 95.
I almost lost hope it would ever go live on Audible, but now?
It’s official. “Quit Me If You Can” is live on all major audiobook retailers, including Audible.
Go get it in your ears.
Narrated in duet by the wildly talented Teddy Hamilton and the incredible CJ Bloom, and they nailed it. He’s the perfect cocky lawyer. She’s the perfect sassy paralegal. Every swoon, every look, every bit of tension, trust me, you’ll feel it all. They brought humor. They brought yearning, and they brought it hard. And Oh-M-G, the heat? Off. The. Charts.
I couldn’t have asked for a better pair to bring these characters to life.
I’m so excited for you to hear this one. Truly. It’s everything I hoped it would be and more.
The last time I saw Cade Gladwell I expected an engagement ring. Instead, I got dumped. No reason. No explanation. Just a big fat broken heart. I never saw him again…until today. Now, he’s my new boss.
Not just any boss. The most ruthless attorney in New York. And of course, he’s 6’3 and unfairly handsome— sharp suit, sharper jawline, and a voice that could melt common sense.
He doesn’t even acknowledge me. Like I’m some forgotten memory.
But trust me, I haven’t forgotten him. And this time? I’m not about to fall into his trap.
I’ll smile. I’ll play it cool. I’ll behave strictly professional. But the moment the lines get blurred, and his lips touch mine, I realize I’m in trouble.
Because this time, it’s not just my heart on the line. “Quit Me If You Can” is a complete standalone. No cliffhanger. Jolie Day is team HEA. Definitely for adult readers only.
In just one week, “Quit Me If You Can” will be in your hands.
Kennedy just lost a bet to her roommate.
Now, he has to sneak into her new boss’s office (the same insufferable jerk who dumped her back in college) and leave a cheeky, anonymous note on his desk.
Marked with lipstick. And… her panties.
Backing out? Not an option.
So, one late night, she slips into Cade’s office to make the drop.
Guess who walks in just as she’s finishing the job?
The man himself.
Cade Gladwell. Her boss.
The most ruthless, feared, and sharpest lawyer in New York. The same infuriating, heartbreak-inducing, too-damn-handsome-for-his-own-good jerk who left her ten years ago without so much as a backward glance.
And now, here he stands, in the doorway, taking in the sight of his desk: a note, smeared with lipstick, and the lace panties she’s definitely not wearing anymore.
Wondering where this goes? Let’s just say, it’s far from over.
Get ready for Cade and Kennedy’s smoking hot second chance romance. And if you’re anything like me, you’ll be counting down the days.
Teddy Hamilton steps into the role of Cade “Lawzilla” Gladwell, New York’s sharpest and most feared lawyer, a man who has it all: power, control, and the world at his feet. Until Kennedy walks through his office door to interview for a paralegal position at his law firm.
CJ Bloom brings Kennedy to life, the woman he dumped in college.
She’s not here to relive the past. She’s here to make Cade face what he thought he could forget.
Two powerhouse narrators. One smoking hot second chance romance.
Get ready to hear it all unfold.
Is the audiobook duet? Yes!
Release date? “Quit Me If You Can” releases on Feb 25th, and the audiobook will be available across all major retailers worldwide within 45 days of the release date.
Whispersync? Whispersync will be available shortly after the audiobook release, usually within a few days across all platforms.
I’m happy to announce the release of my newest book, “Quit Me If You Can.”
And yes, the cover is here, along with the official blurb.

P.S. Will there be an audiobook? Yes! Will it be duet? Yes! The narrators? Both are incredible talents I haven’t worked with before, and they’re well-known in the audiobook world. I’ll be revealing them soon. Audiobook release date? The audiobook will be available on all major retailers worldwide within 45 days of release.
For those who prefer a paperback edition, it’s on the way. My illustrator is currently working on it, and I’ll share updates as soon as it’s ready.
