Marrying Mr. Wrong is LIVE!
This is totally the hot romantic comedy we all need right now. It's a sexy, feel-good, laugh-out-loud story with a cocky AF hero and the adorkable heroine who throws him completely off his game.
Vegas. Shenanigans. Kindle-melting sexytimes. And a super sweet happily ever after that will leave you happily swooning.
http://mybook.to/MarryingMrWrong
Marrying Mr. Wrong is available on Amazon and is free to read with Kindle Unlimited. The paperback is live and audio is coming soon!
I'm almost positive the rest of it wouldn't have happened if I hadn't been dangling off a hotel balcony with my lady parts in the breeze. And of course the one person to witness my mortification had to be HIM. Camden Cox.
Sure, today he's gorgeous and wealthy, and fine, I can admit he has a great sense of humor. But once upon a time, he was the boy who loved to make my life miserable.
He no longer pulls my pigtails, but I know his type. He wants one thing, and one thing only. A chance to get in my pants.
Nope. Not happening. Not even with that sexy Southern drawl.
But I'm Sophie Abbott, and if there's one thing I'm good at, it's making a mess.
Only this isn't just a mess. It's a disaster. A Sophie disaster.
Because after a wild night in Vegas, I wake up naked in his hotel room.
And I'm pretty sure we got married.
An adorkable hot mess who throws a cocky charmer completely off his game. Plus a salty dad playing matchmaker, laugh-out-loud banter, a couch scene that will melt your Kindle, and the swooniest of swoony happy endings.

His Heart
GAH! His Heart has a gorgeous new cover!
I'm so thrilled to share the beautiful new cover for my stand-alone novel, His Heart. With gorgeous photography from Regina Wamba and a lovely design by Lori Jackson, this cover truly captures the beauty of this deep (and intense) romance.
Yes, this one is an ugly cry. But it's worth it. Pinkie promise.
http://mybook.to/HisHeart
Her greatest tragedy is his second chance at life.
For Sebastian McKinney, wrestling is life. He’s focused and determined. Strong and capable. Nothing, not even his biggest rival, will stand in his way.
Except a silent illness that almost kills him.
Brooke Summerlin is no stranger to adversity. Raised by an abusive mother, she’s learned to cope as best she can. When Liam sweeps into her life, she believes she’s found the impossible—a happily ever after.
Until her happy ending is ripped away. And Brooke’s greatest tragedy becomes Sebastian’s second chance at life.
Four years later, two souls linked by loss find each other. Although their connection is undeniable, Brooke sinks in grief that threatens to drown her. Sebastian is desperate to help—desperate to save her—even though he has his own uncertainties to face.
But sometimes love transcends the boundaries between life and death—between what is known and what cannot be explained. The heart that loved Brooke still beats for her.
And the one thing that might save them both is love.
Author’s note: An intense stand-alone contemporary romance that explores the transcendent, healing power of love. You’ll need a few tissues (and maybe some chocolate), but trust me, their beautiful happily ever after is worth it.

Remembering Ivy
My friends! Behold, the beautiful new cover for Remembering Ivy!
I've been waiting a long time for this moment. Remembering Ivy is a true book of the heart and I'm so in love with this beautiful new cover with photography from Regina Wamba and cover design by Lori Jackson.
If you haven't read this yet, give it a try! It's a contemporary romance, like my other books, although this one is a bit unique. If you're looking for something a little different, that still has the heat and swoon-worthy HEA of a CK novel, this book is it!
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B078KDJHRX
“He knew things about me that no one could. His explanation was impossible, but the alternatives were worse…”
After putting everything on hold to care for her dying father, Ivy Nichols feels lonely and disconnected. She’s struggling to jump in and start again—especially when it comes to dating.
The mysterious William Cole walks into her life, like a beacon of light in a fog. He’s sensual and captivating—awakening Ivy in ways she’s never experienced before.
But he knows things about her—deeply personal things. His story is unbelievable, but the truth might be worse. Her friends insist he’s either a con artist, or he’s crazy.
With her heart on the line, Ivy has to decide who—and what—she believes. The rational explanation from her trusted friends? Or the impossible story from the man without a past? The man who swears he will do anything to protect her.
One thing she is sure of—William doesn’t just know facts about her life. He knows her, inside and out. He knows her as intimately as if he’s spent every moment of his life loving her.
And according to him, he has.
Author’s note: a steamy, stand-alone contemporary romance with a bit of suspense and a mysterious twist. It will make you question what you know about love, chance, and fate, and keep you turning the pages to find the answer to one question. Who is William Cole?
Remembering Ivy is available on Amazon and is free to read with Kindle Unlimited!

Marrying Mr. Wrong
I'm so excited to announce my next hot romantic comedy, Marrying Mr. Wrong, coming February 18th! It's a fun, sexy, stand-alone romcom with a cocky AF hero who's sex in a suit, and a hot mess heroine who throws him completely off his game.
I never should have gone commando in that dress.
I'm almost positive the rest of it wouldn't have happened if I hadn't been dangling off a hotel balcony with my lady parts in the breeze. And of course the one person to witness my mortification had to be HIM.
Sure, today he's gorgeous, wealthy, and fine, I can admit he has a great sense of humor. But once upon a time, he was the boy who loved to make my life miserable. He no longer teases me and pulls my pigtails, but I know his type. He wants one thing, and one thing only. A chance to get in my pants.
Nope. Not happening.
But I'm Sophie Abbott, and if there's one thing I'm good at, it's making a mess.
Only this isn't just a mess. It's a disaster. A Sophie disaster.
Because after a wild night in Vegas, I wake up naked in his hotel room.
And I'm pretty sure we got married.
P.S. It's not yet available for preorder, but you can add it to your TBR on Goodreads!

Same fun and sexy romcom, fabulous new look!
Last week I announced that my hot romantic comedy, Love According to Science, was getting a brand new look. Here it is!!
The new title is Falling for My Enemy and I'm IN LOVE with this adorable new cover. It fits in perfectly with the Dirty Martini Running Club series. And just wait until we reveal the title and cover for the next hot romcom. So freaking cute.
Nothing about the story has changed. Just new packaging!
If you haven't read this one yet, it's a hot stand-alone romantic comedy featuring a sexy nerd and his equally nerdy nemesis, some copy room sex that will melt your Kindle, a cat named Erwin who's fluffy not fat, and some of my favorite banter that I've ever written. Corban and Hazel are so uniquely THEM, and this book was an absolute delight to write.
You can snatch up this great read on Amazon or read for free with Kindle Unlimited: http://mybook.to/FallingForMyEnemy
P.S. The new paperback will be a few days behind. Those always take longer to go live.

Available Now
I know a lot of you saw that it went live early, but let's celebrate the official release day anyway! Rushing In is LIVE!
Grab it here: Rushing In
She’s the one girl he can’t have.
With his dimpled grin and devilish charm, firefighter Gavin Bailey is hot as a five-alarm fire and twice as dangerous. The youngest of five brothers, he’s the daredevil of the family.
Until the unexpected strikes and he finds himself sidelined.
Skylar Stanley’s life didn’t just fall apart. It exploded. Spectacularly. Dropped by her publisher and her agent, and dumped by her boyfriend, she suddenly has no place to live and a career circling the drain. She comes home to the quirky, feuding small town she hasn’t lived in since Kindergarten to pick up the pieces. And hopefully find her mojo.
Gavin would happily help Skylar get her groove back—in and out of the bedroom—except for one big problem. Her dad is Gavin’s boss, mentor, and the closest thing he’s ever had to a father.
As much as Gavin loves racing headlong into danger, Skylar is a risk of a different kind. One that he’s determined to avoid.
But the line between friends and lovers gets awfully blurry, and Gavin just might find the one thing that truly scares him.
Losing her.
Author’s note: The wild child of the Bailey clan meets his match in a shy writer who’s braver than she thinks. A sexy, feel-good story with pranks and shenanigans, Bailey-style brotherly love, a rescue kitten, plus delightfully dirty fantasies come true and a happily ever after that will make your heart burst with sunshine and rainbows.
