Nothing else seems to be working, so I'm going to have to actually *write* my book.
I appreciate your understanding at this difficult time.

Taylor's dream job at a Silicon Valley startup comes with a catch: she must out-code Alex, her infuriatingly charming opponent, to keep it. But when rivalry sparks romance, their careers—and hearts—are put on the line. Work-life balance? Never heard of her. #LuckyPit #PopUpPitA #PopUpPit #A #R #CR

A Southern inheritance is always dark—whether it's a penchant for pills, a blood-soaked family farm, or an ancient magic. Sierra spurns them all, but when her dad disappears, she must choose which monsters to slay, and which to become.

When it comes to superstitions, there’s only one hard and fast rule: it’s only weird if it doesn’t work.

And Elliot’s got a lot of them that aren’t working.

That is, until Maggie comes along.

We don’t joke about the mojo in Swing for the Fences🍀

Accidental outsider Maggie Parker & ladder-climbing baseball player Elliot Vance team up to practice dates, prep for interviews, and preserve superstitions together, working toward the future that he wants and she hates— a life sentence as her father’s employee.
