Someone to Build Me Up is a lighthearted fake-dating MLM romance (and it's also pretty sexy, if my betas and my instincts are to be believed 😉). Here's the summary...

When heartbreak leaves you crushed, love can make you strong again.

Reeling from a breakup, English professor Zack Carter is trying to pull himself together for his sister's wedding. His recovery includes hiring sexy, snarky, and multi-talented Marcus Berens as his personal trainer. When Zack finds out his ex has chosen his former bully as her wedding date, Marcus agrees to play the role of Zack's boyfriend. But despite a shared love of theater, neither of them are good at pretending their feelings are just an act.

We made it, everybody! My new book Someone to Build Me Up is now available at all your favorite online bookstores. I cannot wait for you to meet Zack, Marcus, and their friends (and, honestly, a couple enemies too 👀)!

Y'aaaaaaall, I finally made a playlist for Someone to Build Me Up (on my free Spotify account—figured it was the most accessible). If you're not on there, feel free to replicate.

And yes, I'm aware this is the most basic music ever. You can blame our beloved Zack Carter for that and then thank him for something you can play for the gen x and millennial auncle-types in your life.

And of course, there's a little angst from Marcus, because Misery Business starts playing in his head every time he sees Candace.

(Also I sent this and another couple lists in my last newsletter, which you can sign up for here.)

Writing a short from Marcus's POV and my god, if you thought Zack was a simp...I am shocked. SHOCKED. I tell you.

I'm cranky enough trying to use Canva and all the various business suites I've sold my soul to that now I have to share these on every single platform out of spite.

I mean haaaaaaaaayyyyyyy buy my book! 😂😂😂

When you fall on your face and your hot trainer fusses over you.

"Your leg has bruised quite badly,” he murmurs, not letting go as he examines the angry purple and red mark there from when I bashed it on the box yesterday.

"Pain pays the income of each precious thing.” Now I'm quoting Shakespeare—just because his hand is on me and, again, he is not letting go.

I feel like I'm suspended in time as it continues to rest there, and his gaze wanders up from the bruise to my eyes.

Maybe it's an optical illusion, but I swear he's leaning toward me.

A low angst MM fake dating romance with medium-high heat.

Got a review on STBMU recently that said they liked my writing style, but the POV character is too horny (paraphrasing). SO if "too horny" actually sounds good to you, here's a link to get it on whatever platform you want 😂😂😂
