If you haven’t read it, The One You Want, the first book in my contemporary political romance series, can be yours for zero pennies. It features a shy union lobbyist finding her voice while battling a pragmatic Senate staffer and falling for him in the process. If you’ve ever thought, “I want to read a romance that’s like The West Wing but with more steam,” then friends, this might be the one that you, ahem, want.
And two more podcasts that I recorded in the last year dropped and are available for your listening pleasure. I joined Elle Greco on Steam Scenes to talk about Chick Magnet. Elle and I both work in higher education, and so we ended up having a long conversation about the weaponization of taste in the academy, before she reads and we dissect a steamy moment with Will and Nic.
And I also went on Turn Me On (Spotify and Apple) to talk about Funny Guy. This is a fascinating convo because the hosts aren’t necessarily romance readers, so we talked about the goals of romance and romance in popular media.
