This snappy, funny, and realistic enemies to lovers rom-com is a modern retelling of Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing spun into a small-town college romance–with a twist.
This is the story of two close cousins: one with stars in her eyes, the other with her eyes on the stars.
Beatrice is a stubborn, no-nonsense astronomy professor at a small college in wine country. While working toward her tenure, she spends an inordinate amount of time trying to avoid Ben Addison, an annoying librarian she believes wronged her when they were students. Their rapid-fire exchanges could almost be mistaken for chemistry, if he hadn’t done that unspeakable thing so many years ago.
Her younger cousin Heron is a wistful student in her final year of college. The opposite of Beatrice, she is a hopeless romantic, pinning her hopes on a future with her boyfriend Charlie. Heron tries to keep up with her own studies while supporting his fraternity life and helping him stay on track for graduate school, while coping with anxiety that set in after her mother abruptly left years ago.
When Charlie proposes to Heron, Beatrice is worried her cousin’s needs are taking a backseat to his ambitions. Heron responds to her older cousin’s criticism with a matchmaking scheme designed to show Beatrice the upside of romance.
As Heron and Beatrice deal with the fallout of a campus scandal, each finds herself questioning everything she thought she knew about the best course for the future. Eventually, each woman must make a choice: Beatrice between the comfortable role of merry spinster or a fulfilling partnership; Heron between marriage to Charlie or reaching for a new dream.

The Advisory Role, release date TBD:

My second Shakespeare Project book retells As You Like It: Roz is an overzealous advice columnist who writes for a magazine column made popular by her recently deceased mother. When she butts heads with her editor, she loses her job and inherited byline—the only things holding back the full weight of her grief. To continue writing, Roz takes a pen name and retreats to a small seaside town, but her alter ego soon wreaks havoc on her own life and the lives of those around her.
