LESSONS IN LOSING IT Cover Reveal & ARC Sign Up!

As some of you know, I've been locked away in my writing cave for a couple months, trying to finish up book #4 in my STUDY ABROAD series. I actually started this book with the intention of writing a short and sweet novella about Rachel and Fred, two secondary characters you may recognize from LESSONS IN LETTING GO (Study Abroad #3). I hoped to get through it quickly so I could move on to a new series – maybe royals, maybe something set in Charleston, my favorite city on the planet??

Long story short (or really, short story long!) I ended up falling head over heels in love with Fred and Rachel. I wrote them an entire book without meaning to. I guess I had way more fun with a virginal hero than I ever thought I would.

I sent it to my editor, thinking it was a pretty solid first stab at their story. Turns out, the book needed a lot of work – like, pretty much a complete rewrite – but by that point, I was way too invested in Fred and Rachel to give up. So I rewrote.  I cried. I rewrote some more. I felt like giving up many, many times.  I'm gonna be honest, the loneliness and grind of trying to write the best book I possibly could almost defeated me.

But I pushed through. Mostly because I'm stubborn, and I am determined to make this writing gig work. But also because I really fell for these characters. Through them I got to explore some issues I've been dealing with personally for a while now. And for the first time ever, I cried when I wrote. I felt for Fred and Rachel. I believed in them.

I'm so freaking proud of the book their story has become. LESSONS IN LOSING IT (yup, it's about losing that it – always assume my mind is in the gutter) is, I think, my best book yet. I hope you'll enjoy it; it releases on Friday, June 2, 2017. Doesn't hurt that the cover is hot AF. Noelle, my cover artist, slayed it, no?

Just friends…

That’s all soccer star Fred Ohr wants to be with Rachel Collins, the American student he meets at party in his adopted hometown of Madrid.  He’s looking for the real deal—someone who’ll stick around Spain for more than a semester—so he resolves to keep her at arm’s length.  Even if she is sexy as hell.  Smart.  And as crazy about sports as he is.

But friends don’t kiss.  They don’t do sleepovers.  And they definitely don’t get rug burn from having the best sex ever on the living room carpet.

Fred and Rachel’s connection is instant.  Intense.  He loves to cook breakfast for her.  She loves it when he cooks wearing nothing but his glasses.

Only Rachel’s got a dream internship waiting for her back in the states.  And Fred is lining up a contract worth millions to stay in Madrid.  They’re playing with fire to keep seeing each other like this.  But how can they resist when the sex is so great—really, really freaking great—and the fun they have together is even better?

LESSONS IN LOSING IT is a full length, friends-to-lovers standalone romance that releases on June 2, 2017.

For a limited time only, you can get a copy for the special pre-order price of just $.99 at Amazon, iTunes, and Kobo.
