Drop Dead cover reveal and pre-order

I am so in love with the cover for my latest book, Drop Dead. Artist Leni Kauffman captured Nadine, Wes, Dot Voline’s house, and the cats perfectly.

This book is dual narration, with Nadine played by Phillipa Soo, who does such a fantastic job on my other books. Wes is voiced by the extraordinary and iconic actor John Cho.

It’s coming to audio on Audible on August 1, 2024 and you can pre-order here:

The Takedown is out in print!

The Takedown is now out in print! I can’t wait for you to meet Dee and Teddy as they negotiate life and love.

DEE KWAN’S SECRETS FOR A HAPPY LIFE:

  • Always remain positive, no matter the cost

  • Realize that every setback is a hidden opportunity

  • Accept compliments graciously, especially when given by mega-hot rivals

  • Never question if any of these mantras actually work

For Dee Kwan, every day is the perfect day. No, really. She has a house she loves, a job she adores, and a ridiculously attractive “nemesis” who never seems to mind when she wins their favorite online game. How can life possibly get better? (It can’t, obviously. It can only get much, much worse.)

Soon Dee is forced to share her adorably cozy home with her parents and prickly estranged grandmother. Then she's tossed into the deep end, tasked with cleaning up a scandal for intimidatingly chic luxury fashion firm Celeste. If that weren’t enough, she discovers her hot-nemesis works there, too…and Teddy is nothing like the man she thought she knew.

Before she can cry foul, Teddy comes clean about his double life: he’s the heir to the CEO and he needs her help to make Celeste a better place—for everyone. But that means taking down the old guard—including his father—intent on standing in their way. Now in the center of a dizzying corporate coup, Dee is forced to decide whether she’s ready to stop watching the world through rose-colored glasses and instead face the truth: about herself, about her feelings for Teddy, and about what she’s willing to do to truly make a difference.

Thank you to everyone who has listened to The Takedown in audio and supported the book in print! I’m so grateful for your support, and hope you love the book.
