Our kiss was casual at first, but the longer I hel

Our kiss was casual at first, but the longer I held my lips to hers, the more she softened. When I slid my hand through her hair, cradling the back of her head, she melted into the touch.

A soft sigh left her lips when I pulled back from the kiss, eyes searching hers — and that sigh was just enough encouragement to make me open my big, stupid mouth.

“Take me to the next game.”

Gemma blinked, her sated smile slipping. “What?”

“Don’t get on that stupid app again,” I said. “Take me.”

She swallowed, eyes doubling in size as she pulled them from my gaze and down to the floor. There was a touch of something there… something she’d been hiding all night. It was in the bend of her brows, in the slump of her shoulders, in the pull of her mouth to one side.

She’d been hurt.

God, how I wanted to kill whoever hurt her.

Gemma shook it off — whatever it was — and when she looked back at me, it was with a seemingly-confident smile. “Hey, this was the practice round, remember?”

“Bullshit.”

“Look, you knew the deal when you asked me for this,” she pointed out, still smiling. “Don’t go changing the rules on me now.”

“You and your rules.”

Tag Chaser and Song Chaser were my very first book babies. 🥹 They hold such a special place in my heart! They may not demonstrate my best writing or editing, but they’re such an important part of my journey.

I was young and hungry and brave. I published with nothing but love and excitement in my heart. I didn’t know what it was to have anxiety around a release day, to be nervous or worry what readers might think. In fact — I was just praying I would have A READER, even one!

October marks my 10 year publishing anniversary, and I have SO MUCH FUN planned — including new covers for this lovely series.

𝐒𝐨, 𝐢𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐜𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬, 𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐢𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐛 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦!

And if you want to read the short stories before I take them down, grab them now for your Kindle! They’ll still be available later, but from my website as a newsletter incentive, instead.

Side note: both of these covers were shot by my amazing friend who I met in college: @austynvictorious. The model for book one was my sorority sister, @kbedds, and the model for book two was my “little brother” in Greek world, @etienneturner. That just makes them so special to me, because they’re a symbol of friends supporting friends, of loved ones helping us chase our dreams! 😭❤️

Watch Your Mouth has been one of the most memorable writing experiences of my life. Every book is special, but some just feel like MAGIC — and this one had me wrapped up and completely under its spell.

There are so many reasons why, but I think the tropes were a huge part of it. Teammate’s little sister? Road trip? Age gap? YES YES AND YES!

Add in the fact that these characters had me in a chokehold… the tension, the angst, the SPICE.

You can pre-order Watch Your Mouth now or download it in Kindle Unlimited on release day (October 27). Regular and special edition paperbacks will be available, as well as special edition hardcover. And yes, it will have a simultaneous audio release — in duet narration!

What would your book dedication be?

One of my favorite parts about wrapping up a rough draft is writing the dedication. I feel like every story has a key audience, the ones who will just GET IT more than anyone else.

For Meet Your Match, I was reaching out to my girlies who know what it’s like to have their hearts smashed and fight the uphill battle of learning to love again.

If you wrote a book, what would your dedication be? Do you read dedications or skip past them? Any book dedications that really spoke to you?

(PS… Watch Your Mouth trope reveal Friday!)
