Late to the party but I gotta shoot my shot
#WarpDriveIntoLove is definitely a fan favorite, and the first novel that my peers agree is a sure-thing for an #agent and #publisher.

Stubborn Dreams and Bottled Love EXCERPT: “I’m not ready for this to end.” Nat searched his eyes with eyes full of understanding. Too much understanding. As if she too knew this, whatever this was, had to end. Every time he held her, he wanted more from her. Something Nat couldn’t, wouldn’t give. Not yet. Maybe someday. An improbable idea, not an impossible one. Where’s there’s life, there’s hope. But that hope dwindled with each passing semester, each passing season. He wasn’t sure how much longer he could or should wait. With his all-encompassing residency starting in a few weeks and Nat playing in the Olympics later this year on top of her already grinding schedule, such hope died a slow death.
When Matt rescues Nat from being trapped at a frat party, they reluctantly form a near decade long friendship that threatens to turn romantic if Nat wasn’t determined to play pro soccer in Chicago and Matt wasn’t determined to practice pediatrics in their Michigan hometown.

Love on the Vine Agents Guide
Pitch: *85,000 Word Contemporary Romance *Tropes: *Different Worlds *Strangers-to-Lovers *Found Family Becca Hopewell has trouble letting people in. She blames the death of her mom during childbirth and her father’s subsequent abandonment of her to a cold aunt. When she’s left part owner of a winery with her newfound half-brother she must decide if she’s willing to risk being rejected again. Not only by Sammy, but by Ian Baker, the demi-god portraying, disillusioned actor she rescues from rabid fans while manning the winery’s Christmas market booth. Despite his manager’s plan for his flailing career that doesn’t include a mystery woman selling wine she knows nothing about, Ian can’t seem to forget his kind rescuer and the lovely bracelet she designed.
Comps: *Romantic Comedy *Under Your Spell *Waiting for Tom Hanks *A Winter Wish *We All Live Here *Notting Hill
Except: “You’re right, better make it three. You’re too good a saleswoman even without the cheat sheet. Which begs the question how someone who professes not to know wine work for a winery?” “That’s a long, complicated story. Too long for a few sips of wine. Or coffee. Hell, I’m not even sure a three-course meal would suffice.” Becca froze. Eyes wide as her hands hovered over bottles. “That wasn’t me begging for an invitation or anything. Not that you thought such a silly thing. Or would ever think…” Becca snapped her lips shut, avoiding his twinkling eyes by assessing the progress of the three women. Now closer than she liked with more make-up and hands that flattened flyaway strands. Their hungry looks were reminiscent of the wolf at grandma’s house. “And if I did?” “What?” The man followed Becca’s frantic glance. His head snapped forward. His body straightened and angled toward Becca and away from the women’s eager glances. The openness, the calmness disappeared like wine at an awkward Christmas party.
Notting Hill x Waiting for Tom Hanks
When Becca inherits a winery with her newfound half-brother, Sammy, and rescues Ian, a celebrity hiding from an oversized role, she must decide if she’s willing to risk being rejected yet again or open her heart to the possibility of love.
