These Are a Few of My Favorite Things: The Things of Without You
When I drafted my novel Without You, I had my fingers crossed that I would see it in print. Why? Because I wanted to see my name on the cover of a book again? Yes. Because I wanted to give a realistic view on marriage and love? Yes.
But more importantly…this book has all of my absolute favorite things.
I’ve been ecstatic since signing the contract for Without You because I knew I’d be able to some awesome giveaways. I’ve been dreaming up the prize baskets to go along with this book since day one….because what book lover doesn’t love coffee, cupcakes, and cats? Below, a list of the favorite things in Without You that’ll make you say, “Yes, me too!”
Cats (specifically my huge black cat named Bob) who visit the nursing home
Coffee (Violet owns a coffee shop)
Cupcakes (the coffee shop is also a bakery)
Books (Violet is an Orwell fan)
New York City
My mastiff Henry (of course, right?)

On the surface, Jenna Landsen has it all…
She’s smart, beautiful, confident, and married to Camden Landsen, who happens to be drop dead sexy and just as successful. But after five long years, all the success in the world hasn’t brought the romantic spark back into her marriage. Jenna fears it never will.
When life gives you lemons, open a bakery and name it Vi’s…
Violet Streiff made the exact mistake her mother warned against—she fell in love with Liam Coffman, a charming finance major. When he left her heartbroken to further his career, Violet drowned her sorrows by opening a bakery, and now relies on Bob, her eighteen-pound cat, for warmth at night instead of a sexy man.
To find love, sometimes you first have to discover yourself…
When Jenna’s job offers an extended trip to New York, she packs her bags and takes a two-month vacation from life. The chance of her marriage surviving looks grim, until the surprise of a lifetime throws a wrench in her plans to stay in the Big Apple for good.
You can bend the rules—but sooner or later they’ll break…
When Violet meets a gloomy but totally drool-worthy guy named Camden in her shop, she’s sure her luck has changed. There’s no denying the chemistry, but he’s married, and that’s a major problem. Violet isn’t a homewrecker. Still, staying away from Camden proves nearly impossible. That is, until his wife comes home.
Two women.
Two men.
Double the chance to find love in the most
unexpected places—or double the chance for disaster.
