Current Work…
Twenty-five year-old Elsie Morley is no stranger to handling problems on her own. So when she makes a heartfelt plea in the silence of her bookstore, she never expects an answer. She certainly doesn’t expect that answer to be sending her and her longtime rival, Jacob Lee, into a series of romance books, forcing them to work together to figure out how to get home.
Dancing at a ball in Victorian London, riding horses in the Scottish Highlands, even fake dating to get rid of a nagging ex, they’re thrust into these worlds and given the task of finishing the stories. Already at a turbulent time in her life, she hardly knows what she’s doing in her real life, let alone in a make-believe one. And now with her place of employment playing matchmaker, Elsie’s forced to confront her past and present, and accept the fact that she and Jacob will never get along. Right?
