Our September Afterlight book is a standalone contemporary adult romance! When two individuals experience separate humiliating break-ups that end up going viral online, a following mistake leads people to assume that they’re dating. They decide to take advantage of the buzz and fake-date, hoping it’ll bring them publicity and make their exes jealous. But before long, their feelings start to feel anything but false . . .

She was raised on glitter, a whole lot of love, and copious amounts of grilled cheese.
