Meeting Mr. Adorkable

Released: October 24th, 2023

Two wounded hearts. One small town. A romance with the power to heal.

Dumped by his older lover and left jobless in the family business, life isn’t looking too rosy for Lucian, a sweet but awkward English florist. At rock bottom, he’s determined to make a fresh start, and the Wyoming town of Collier’s Creek might just be the place to do it.

After years living in New York’s fast lane, Arlo’s come home. No stranger to heartbreak, all he wants is a simple life after his relationship with a younger man crashed and burned. The last thing he’s looking for is love. Those days are long gone, and they’re never coming back.

But fate has other plans for Lucian and Arlo. A clumsy encounter at a cheesy local bar and a pitcher of spilled beer turns their worlds up side down. Life is never going to be the same again.

Will the reticent silver fox be the key to piecing together Lucian's fractured heart? And will Arlo find the courage to open himself up and let the dorky Englishman restore his belief in love and life? Find out in this always heartfelt, often quirky, cross-cultural romance that proves age is just a number when it comes to affairs of the heart.

About the Author

I used to tell my stories to myself. Now I tell them to the world…

In the stories I only ever told myself, boy met boy, best friends became more, and the hero didn’t save the damsel in distress but the hot guy he’d been secretly crushing on. I wanted to read those stories so much. I needed to read them, but I never found them in the library or the bookshop. I accepted they didn’t exist. Or so I thought… until the Christmas when I unwrapped my first e-reader. With a few clicks, life changed forever. I’d found the books, and I’d found my tribe.

It’s fair to say I make my men work hard for their HEAs. Whether they’re featuring in high-heat nail-biting, edge-of-seat romantic suspense, navigating their way through complex and difficult relationships, or are snuggled up together, all sweet and cozy, and soft and fuzzy, in the end, they have to make a stand for their shot at true love.

But there is life outside of MM romance. Allegedly. There’s a husband to feed and spend time with, pubs and cafés to drink in, and cake to eat. I do all these things—and a whole lot more—before I open up my laptop to spend time with men who always feel so, so real to me.

I’m a Londoner born and bred, and although I now live just outside of the big, bad city, the place is hardwired into my DNA and I grab every chance I get to hop on a train so as I can get my regular metropolitan fix.
