Romcoms about bad timing, worse ideas, and the one person you can't seem to avoid. Read the first chapters free.
Madelaine Brown loves love — just not in real life. When Jake West's summer fling dumps him and her Never List needs updating, they strike a deal: fake date to make his ex jealous, and he helps her "live a little."
"I'm sorry for the person who's gonna end up with you." "Ah, the self-pity."
Mary Kate Lowe just wanted to be a singer — not a chauffeur for England's most hated (and somehow still dreamy) football star. Fame is messy, love is messier, and farm girls really do have all the fun.
"From the moment she fell at my door, it's like I knew I was dealing with a different type of crazy."
I write romcoms about bad timing, worse ideas, and characters who bicker their way into love. When I'm not writing, I'm building the playlist for the next one.

Madelaine Brown loves love — just not in real life. After her mom left, she decided romance was best admired from afar. Unfortunately, she can't escape Jake West — her lifelong annoyance who's adventurous (stupid), flirty (well-rounded), and reckless (gets away with the stupidest things).
When Jake's summer fling dumps him, and Madelaine's Never List needs some serious updating, they strike a deal: fake date to make his ex jealous and he helps her "live a little." But between the banter, bad ideas, and way-too-real chemistry, Madelaine starts to wonder — maybe some things on her Never List aren't so impossible after all.
A fake-dating, enemies-to-lovers romcom about bad timing, worse ideas, and the one person you can't seem to avoid.
"I'm sorry for the person who's gonna end up with you." "Ah, the self-pity." I humph triumphantly and then catch what he just said. "What?" A smirk grows larger on his face as does the shade on my cheeks and he winks. "You stop that!" I groan loudly and he just sits there, viciously smiling and I get out of this Manwhoreic room.
Mary Kate Lowe just wanted to be a singer — not a chauffeur for England's most hated (and somehow still dreamy) football star.
But when Jack Gray crashes into her quiet farm life with a bruised ego and a need for scenic healing, she's stuck driving him around the countryside. Between fake marriages, minor hospital visits, and one weird and themed manor, Mary Kate's autumn takes a turn for the wildly unexpected.
The Muse of The Match — fame is messy, love is messier, and farm girls really do have all the fun.
"Why am I even doing something for her? I don't truly know her, she could still turn out to be a nutter and she could easily kidnap me right now. But, I don't know, from the moment she fell at my door, it's like I knew I was dealing with a different type of crazy. A healthy, clumsy, crazy. And I can't deny that she's pretty, but that's besides the point. The point is that she's interesting. It's like when you start to watch a show and you're not sure about it yet, but can't help but watch the next episode."
I write romantic comedies about bad timing, worse ideas, and characters who bicker their way into love. My books come with matching Spotify playlists — because every love story deserves a soundtrack.
I'm the author of The Never List, a fake-dating enemies-to-lovers romcom, and Muse of the Match, where a farm girl gets stuck chauffeuring England's most hated football star.
