More about Perfect Office Pact...

Blurb:
Their rules are simple.
He'll keep his nose out of her personal life and help further her career.

She won't tell the board what he did.
Declan Jordan crosses a line—a massive line—and he'll probably lose his job if Mira files a complaint. When your boss majorly screws up, even if it leads to the thing you’ve been looking for your whole life, why wouldn’t you take advantage? Even if that means spending time with a man impossible to work with.

Mira Vasquez pricks Declan's every nerve. When she was his student, her quick tongue and incessant questioning annoyed him to his wit’s end, but he had to hire her. She ranked top of her class and is bilingual. Now, he’s her boss. That’s a position he never wanted to be in.

Seeing her every day drives him wild because he can't know her like he wants. Then, when he delves too deep, she turns the tables, leaving him in an even more precarious position. Further, there’s little chance she’ll ever see beyond his one misstep.

To convince her he’s not that person, he’ll have to break the pact he made with her, and she could end his career with one swift keystroke.
Find out if Declan is willing to risk everything for a what if with Mira in Perfect Office Pact today!

Happy Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day! I hope you have something fun planned for yourself. I'm spending mine making my favorite food, deep-dish pizza, and having some wine and brownies with my hubby. After dinner, I carved out some time to curl up with a good read. So, in my book, the perfect Valentine's Day!


Thank you for making Perfect Office Pact's release week super fun! I've loved getting all the impressions from you on the book, the characters, and their dating challenges.


It's so great that the 3rd person POV is being well-received. This is my first 3rd person POV book. I really wanted to bring out Declan's perspective and am so excited to hear you liked the presentation format. Yay!


Another reach for me was having a character do something that was a little ethically questionable. But I figured we're all human and things happen that challenge our ability to stay within strict lines. So, I'm excited that Mira's and Declan's reactions to their situations came across as intended... a bit on the humorous, out-there side of what would you do if!


The other challenge for me was authentically representing these characters and their diversity. And your reactions to them have been great, so I am super happy with all the research I did for this novel.


I can't wait for everyone to experience Mira and Declan's story. Or was that Mira and Cade? Hmm... ;)

If you've read Perfect Office Pact, or are reading, please reply with your feedback. I also want to know which direction you'd like to see this series go. I can branch off to Austin, Texas, and swing back to Mina and Connor's story from the Perfectly Tuned newsletter free short story, or stay in Lexington and tell Dani's story next. Let me know by replying to this email! Thanks in advance! <3


If you haven't dipped into the Perfect romance series, there's no reading order you need to follow. They're all standalones featuring different friends from college days.


Here are my featured reviews from the past week. Double thanks to all who left reviews on Goodreads, Bookbub, and Amazon!


5* - Amber, Goodreads – “Easy to read and get lost in. I love how the author gives us both Mira’s point of view as well as Declan’s. I like that Declan has lots of layers to him. I like that the romance isn’t rushed. It made it feel more realistic. Definitely a good read."


4* – Toni, Goodreads – “Such a fun quick read that you won't want to miss. It is a well written, contemporary romance with third person POV. (Which is great.) Declan and Mira both struggle with expressing their feelings and Mira has the NO dating your boss rule. all this makes for a book with emotions, humor, frustrations and of course romance. Definitely pick this book up it's a great read."


4* – Shelly, Goodreads – “A wonderful read. I felt that these two were totally misunderstood and mismatched at first. They kind of grew on you as they story went along It's a quick read and a sweet story overall. I loved the writing and the characters. The contemporary feel and POV was refreshing. ... I enjoy this author's books and she writes books that feel so real and very modern.”

New Adult Romance Spotlight

Looking for a perfect intro to the Perfect romance series under pen names Tricia Copeland and Maria Jane?

Perfect started it all... and it's only 99 cents on Amazon Kindle or FREE with KU!

Here's more about Perfect where you'll meet all the characters including Chloe, Bree, Mira, Adam, Isaac, Nate, Steven, Austin, Declan, and Cade...

One driven woman. Five passionate paths to the perfect love.

Chloe refuses to compromise when it comes to romance and success. Powering through her sophomore-level college business classes, she’s done with the effort of distance-dating her high-school sweetheart. But when he proposes just as she hits it off with a hunky basketball player, she worries following her heart could send her bright future to the bench.

As Chloe matures to become a rising star in the fashion industry, love knocks another four times. But while each potential suitor eventually pops the question, only she knows her ultimate happy ending.

Whose arms will embrace Chloe when she chooses her forever man?

Perfect is a standalone clean contemporary romance. If you like tender moments, lighthearted comedy, and endings you choose yourself, then you’ll adore Tricia Copeland’s option-filled tale.

Perfect is “A sweet take on what’s important when it comes to finding the perfect kind of love.” - Christina Benjamin, author of the best-selling young adult romance novels, The Boyfriend Series
