Rule one of writing romance: Don't fall for your own characters. Oops.Charlotte Branson is a romance novelist with a problem. Her manuscript is a mess, her deadline is looming, and her female lead is, frankly, insufferable. The solution? Rewrite everything from scratch. The complication? She falls asleep at her laptop and wakes up inside her own novel—as a minor character, in a fictional Colorado town she built from the ground up, surrounded by people who think they're completely real.She knows this world. She knows the Sterling brothers, the private equity empire they built together, and exactly how every scene is supposed to play out. What she didn't account for is Nick Sterling—unscripted, incredibly sexy, and nothing like she imagined when she put him on the page. He's not supposed to be the main love interest. She didn't write it that way.She knows how rom-coms work. She knows every beat, every complication, every reason this is a terrible idea. She also knows she's been writing about love her whole life to avoid having to feel it. Nick Sterling is making that very difficult.Falling into Fiction is the first book in The Fictional Hearts Series—a wickedly fun, clean romantic comedy for anyone who's ever lost themselves in a love story and quietly wished they could live there.

risk_adjusted: She added me on Venmo. Is she into me?Top comment: Bro. She was just paying you back.risk_adjusted: She did not need to add me to pay me back.That post is about me.The night I sprain my ankle, my boyfriend is busy driving another woman across town. The man who shows up instead is Theodore Radcliffe: donor-wall name, heir-to-everything rumors, a face that makes every conversation look like an unnecessary expense. He gets me home, buys the medicine I said I didn't need, and refuses my $47.60.Three times. Reason: Amount inaccurate.Now he's asking the internet whether I want him. Under the same username as his Venmo. Apparently anonymity fell outside the risk model. I should tell him. Instead, I open a burner account. If Theodore Radcliffe is going to crowdsource my feelings, somebody should at least give him competent advice.Then he starts taking my advice. On me.I'm done being anyone's second choice, and Theo looks at me like first place was never open. Which would be easier to believe if the woman he wants, the stranger coaching him, and the idiot falling for him weren't all the same person.Paying him back is easy.Wanting him to stay is the real risk.ADD ME MAYBE is a witty, high-heat romantic comedy: anonymous online flirting, a deadpan hero who falls first and files it under risk, a heroine done with second place, and one $47.60 that refuses to stay settled. Standalone. Guaranteed HEA. Open-door heat.

If wishes were free…No, really.I’ve done a lot of wishing in my time: for hunky security guard James to like me back, for that cute skirt to zip all the way up, for my colleague to shut up about her amazing love life already, for my father to show up on my tenth birthday… The list goes on. And on.But so does the bill that’s just arrived from my own personal fairy godmother.Sure, my life has been semi-charmed up to this point, but a fairy godmother?I don’t think so.There’s only one way to prove this lady’s not real: wish for James to ditch his date and ask me out instead. Easy peasy. Fairy godmothers are all just a scam.Except within minutes of making my wish, James breaks his date and asks me out. (swoon, faint, flail)And yeah, that pricey wish just went on my tab.Fairy godmother debt. Secret interactions with the magical world. And a new boyfriend who might be under a spell…What’s real? And can true love break the binds of a magical spell?A light romantasy with paranormal twists, and sweet, heartwarming moments. This is also a friends to lovers romantic comedy that gets help from the paranormal magical world of fairy godmothers. And maybe a few ogres in accounting, too, since nobody wants to get fed to one if they default on their bill.
