Brynn & Will’s Love Story
The Best Mistake
Book Two
About
Uptight, prickly, perfectionist Brynn knows she’s not the easiest person to like, and nobody likes to remind her of it more than childhood nemesis Will, who’s not only back in town, but moved right next door with a score to settle…and a love he’s tired of hiding.

Some Details
Vibe
This is very much a “slice of real life,” set in a suburb of Seattle, complete with front yards, flat tires, and furniture stores :)
Heat Level
Explicit sex scenes.
POV
Third person.
Tone
Snarky and very banter-heavy. This one is “enemies attract” and I didn’t back down on the enemies part!
Author Note
I smile whenever I think of this book, for so many reasons. First, for a long time it was my absolute favorite. In some ways, it still is. I wrote it before I knew there were “rules” in romance, and I broke most of them here.
Jane Austen once referred to Emma as “a character no one but myself will much like.” Brynn is that character for me. She’s extremely uptight with a thick protective shell she doesn’t even realize she has.
She and Will … they’re really mean to each other, which some readers clutched their pearls about, but every now and then I get an email from a reader who confesses that this too is their favorite of all my books.
I get it. And I won’t tell the BookTok police that you dared to like this one.

A Little Excerpt
————————
“I didn’t kiss you to punish you,” he said finally. It was more than he wanted to say, but he had to do something to vanquish the lost look in her eyes.
“Then why?”
Her eyes were locked on his lips and his hand was cupping her cheek before he was even aware that he’d moved.
“You don’t know?” he asked, his voice a little gruff.
She gave a sad smile. “I do know. I’ve always known.”
His heart lurched and he forced himself to swallow and keep his gaze on hers. “Yeah?”
She nodded. “You wanted what you couldn’t have. So you took it. Just like when we slept together. I was the lone holdout on your endless line of bedpost notches, and once you checked me off the list, the challenge was over. And then you left.”
His heart felt like it tumbled into his stomach, and he didn’t know if it was in dismay or relief. His hand dropped away from her face.
She didn’t have a freaking clue.
on Book Covers
I’ve made the unusual decision not to show the official book covers on my official author website for a variety of reasons:
Most of my books have multiple cover versions depending on language/country; the US English version is only one of many.
Several of my cover designs were spot-on when they released, but are now quite dated even though the love stories within are timeless.
I have an unwavering love for neutral colors, and elegantly minimalist design. The current rom-com cover trend towards candy colored cartoons is not my jam.
