I can finally share my career news: I get to write more books!!!!

I cannot express how excited I am to continue working with Lauren Plude and the incredible team at Montlake and how grateful I am to my agent, Sarah Younger, for making this happen. Lauren and Sarah are the best, and I am the luckiest of ducks to have them in my corner.

Contracts can take a long time, so I’m almost done writing Comeback Kid. I’ve been living with these two all summer, and it’s been lovely. Cole’s a big softie with a heart of gold who’s paddling so hard to get back on top. He’s going to come face to face with some seedy truths, but because he’s a hero, he’s going to try to fix them.

But he’s fallen hard and fast for someone he absolutely shouldn’t have: Maggie. She’s a high school drama teacher who accidentally ended up in Hollywood after getting fired for directing a controversial play. So she’s got things of her own to prove, and she doesn’t want to have a crush on this guy. Except she does. She really, really does. It’s delicious.

Anyhow, I can’t wait for you to meet them and everyone working on Waverley (they’re making a steamy adaptation of a Walter Scott novel). I talked more about the book in today’s newsletter–and I may have shared an exclusive extra as well.

So more from me soon! But in the meantime, I cannot believe how the last year has played out, and I’m so grateful to be able to continue writing love stories with the help of this wonderful team.
