What a year, here’s a little love

Baked a brick. Wrote a baby pact.

Hi reader,
Just popping in before the year wraps up. I have a few fun things to share, and one question at the end that I’d love your thoughts on.

First off: Check out my first try at baking oat bread! It’s made with oats, seeds, a bit of salt, and baking powder. I think I added enough baking powder? It looks like a brick but tastes pretty good (and keeps my stomach happy. Histamine flares and gluten intolerance, anyone?).

Look how it turned out. The darker half has poppy seeds.

And once I started spending more time in my kitchen, it spiraled. Suddenly I was sanding down my table, re-oiling the knife block, and even a bathroom container for towels. It was messy and exhausting, but so worth it. There’s something about restoring things that makes you feel strangely better.

And somehow, doing all that shaped the way Holly’s character grew on the page. You might remember her from earlier updates. Holly is the 37-year-old heroine of my upcoming book “Nothing But Friends” (out May 2026). She’s stopped believing in love, but wants a baby, and ends up making a baby pact with her childhood best friend. Dexter.

She’s an interior designer, so don’t be surprised when you catch her reaching for wood oil, or Dexter describing the very specific smell it leaves behind when the furniture dries.

Segue? Yeah? No? I tried.

I’ve been working on the book for a long time (dad time took over this year), but it’s such a joy. I received the manuscript back from my editor, and now I have a few edges to smooth out. There’s always a bit of sanding left before the final shine.

Now, before I forget. I’d love to know something.

Most romance books focus on heroines in their early 20s. But writing a 37-year-old woman who knows what she wants (and doesn’t), who’s been through things, and who still wants more? I’d really love to keep writing heroines in their 30s, but I want to hear from you:

What age range do you enjoy most in romance heroines? Click and let me know.

Now for a little gift to wrap up the year.

Love,

Title reveal

Hi reader,

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.

Here are your guesses:

Forever Baby Now

Naughty Best Friends (love this one)

Nurturing Between Friends

Nothing Between Friends

Now Begins Forever (beautiful ❤️)

New Best Friend

Not Best Friends

No Better Feeling

Night brings Baby (funny! 😂🍼)

The real title is:

Four of you guessed it right.

“Nothing But Friends” is up for preorder. (paid link)

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.

Happy Halloween,

Jolie Day

New Covers for Faking it in NYC

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.

Take a look and tell me your favorite!

PS: You can check out the series here on Amazon:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CLKW88KZ

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.

The wait is over. 🎧

“Quit Me If You Can” made it to Audible.

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.

Thank you, as always, for reading, listening, and holding on through the wait.

Jolie,
probably the most relieved she’s ever been

The Lawyer is here.

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.

Quit Me If You Can: One Week To Go

Dear reader,

We’re almost there.

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.

“Quit Me If You Can” releases on Feb 25th.

A Bossy Roommate is here.

Never expected to see her again—the woman I ditched at the motel after our one-night stand.

Picture my surprise when she strolls into the office as my new assistant.
But wait, there’s more.
I come home to find her with suitcases, nowhere to stay.
I could decline to have her move in, yet I see a chance.
My nosy aunt’s visiting, expecting to meet my non-existent spouse.

My assistant’s onboard with the madness of playing my newlywed wife.

So, here are the ground rules for our little charade:

  1. Our fake marriage is top-secret intel at the workplace. No slips of the tongue (hee-hee) or accidental leaks. We’re in this purely for show.
  2. This is strictly a “no-love zone.” I don’t care if Cupid himself tries to shoot me with his arrow.
  3. We gotta sell it like we’re head over heels in love. That means sharing a bed and putting on a stellar performance.

Little do I know what I’m signing up for.

Not only do I find myself trying to stop a fire she started (lesson learned: keep shorts handy at all times), but I’m also testing her “World’s Best Kisser” claim (let’s just say the results are…unexpected) and discovering a newfound appreciation for cramped spaces—and running washing machines.

But then, suddenly, she’s gone.
Now I find myself stuck in a mental loop of “what-if?” scenarios.
Did I just let the world’s most remarkable woman slip through my fingers?

Cover Reveal: A Bossy Roommate

A Room with a View…and a Catch

Exciting news, everyone!
My next book “A Boss Roommate” is dropping soon.
The book goes live on October 29th.

Here is the official blurb:

I didn’t mean to start a fire.
Least of all in my boss’s apartment.
The one I’m currently living in.

Thanks to a mind-boggling mix-up in moving days,
I’m stuck living with none other than NYC’s most eligible bachelor, billionaire Carter Bancroft—inscrutable, icy, and utterly demanding.

The female staff all fall head over heels for his larger-than-life presence.

But I’m immune: I’ve sworn off men after having been dumped at the altar.
But living with my boss from hell comes with a catch—a hefty one, at that.
His nosy aunt is dropping by for a visit, expecting to meet his loving wife.

Me.
One weekend. One secret mission. One bed.

Fast forward to me atop the washing machine (whirring beneath me), him caging me in, unleashing a torrent of dirty talk, and suddenly, the room is steamier than a sauna.
I should have screamed “cut!” right then.
Instead, I screamed his name.

But who can resist toe-curling nights that blur the line between what’s fake and what’s oh-so real?
Not this girl.
Honestly, I couldn’t have concocted a more disastrous turn of events if I tried.

Epic fail ever after, anyone?

Complete standalone.

  • Hot Boss (who rides a bike in his spare time)
  • Confident, sassy, curvy heroine
  • Off-limits
  • Grumpy x Sunshine
  • Fake relationship
  • Roommates to Lovers
  • Forced proximity (one bed)
  • Scorching hot *** scenes (dirty talking hero, praise s3x, just the tip s3x)
  • Strawberries 🍓 😉

Stay tuned for more updates.
Coming Soon! The scorching story of Carter and Eden!
Preorder now and enjoy a pre-release-price.

Giddily yours,
Jolie Day

PS. Will there be an audiobook? Yes! Narrator announcement coming soon.
Keep your ears peeled for a teaser. I couldn’t help but giggle when preparing it.
The audiobook will be available on all major retailers within 45 days of release.
