Sometimes we find ourselves when we’re not even looking.

Rebecca’s life is a bit of a disaster. Her boss is the worst and her bestie is moving out to live with her boyfriend. Meanwhile, Rebecca’s love life just stormed out the door after she faked it in bed.

But how is she supposed to fake something she’s never experienced?

It’s humiliating and Rebecca swears everyone in Manhattan can tell just by looking at her on the sidewalk. She deserves better.

When her doctor’s advice falls flat, the next offers a different path. One she’d never consider in a million years if she wasn’t so desperate for answers. And for Kyle.

The gorgeous photographer who moves in across the hall is impossible to resist. Kyle is everything Rebecca isn’t—bold, charismatic, and fearless. When they ride his black motorcycle, all her troubles melt away. Except for one.

After hiding her secret becomes impossible, Rebecca summons the courage to fight for the life she wants—knowing it could be her last chance.

Vulnerable and inspiring, Love, Only Better is an authentic and inspiring story about how to find confidence and love yourself.

Read in 24 countries, it’s 5x award winning contemporary fiction—with romance and spice—that readers “can’t put down.”

*An award-winning standalone story*

Barbara’s fairytale life has hit a brick wall. Worst part, she didn’t see it coming.

Barbara navigates the NYC corporate world as a confident Black lawyer, balancing sky-high career goals with heavy family expectations. But while her career thrives at 31, her engagement crumbles, leaving her heartbroken—and stuck with a non-refundable destination wedding.

Arriving at her island paradise, Barbara is swept away by Sebastian—a hazel-eyed lawyer with a snake tattoo and a mysterious past. Their connection is so deep, Barbara feels seen for the first time in her life.

For Sebastian, time stops when he’s with Barbara. It doesn’t matter that she’s rich, and he grew up on food stamps. That her clothes are designer and his hide old gang tattoos. Even that he’s white, and she’s Black. None of their differences matter until he’s handed the job meant for her.
