In Good Faith (In Progress)
This one is big. Loud. A little chaotic. And I’m having an absolute blast writing it.
In Good Faith is shaping up to be my longest book yet, with the largest cast I’ve ever wrangled and a story rooted in something I love returning to: music. Bands. Found families. The strange intimacy of rehearsals, road time, late nights, and the way creativity turns into connection when you’re not paying attention.
At the center of it all is Bambi Morris—a wildly talented guitarist with a sharp sense of humor, a complicated past, and a way of ending up in the middle of things whether she means to or not. She’s playing with a band that feels a little feral, a little brilliant, and very much like trouble in the best way.
There will be hijinks.
There will be comedy.
There will be romance—messy, human, and earned.
The story is ambitious, character-heavy, and unapologetically fun. It’s the kind of book where I keep surprising myself, laughing at scenes I didn’t expect, and thinking, oh no, I love these people.
The cover you’re seeing now is still in progress—some elements aren’t finalized yet, and yes, a little color correction is still coming—but I couldn’t resist sharing it early. This one already feels electric, and I wanted to let you in on that energy.
I’d previously announced that this book would be released in January—but as these things tend to go, it won’t be out until closer to the end of February.
The delay has a simple explanation: three other books politely—but very firmly—cut in line. Flirting With the Fry Girl, The Rehabilitation of Jamie Lynn Wells, and Becoming Emily all jumped ahead. The good news is that those three are now out and available through your favorite retailer. The slightly less good news is that this book got nudged back a bit.
No worries, though. In Good Faith is in the final stretch and will be available very soon.
The Manifestation of Jessa Wynne (it is done, just not released!).
What happens when the woman you invented walks into the room… and she’s real?
Wes Hollis has built a career writing romance under the pen name Jessa Wynne—a fictional author with a devoted fanbase and fifty-three bestselling novels. Publicly, Jessa is a brand. Privately, she’s something more.
She’s the voice in his head.
The woman in his stories.
The safe, perfect version of love he never has to risk.
When his publisher insists on hiring an actress to “be” Jessa at a national romance convention, Wes expects awkward auditions and marketing chaos.
He does not expect Emmie Petrescu.
Emmie doesn’t just look the part.
She moves like Jessa.
Speaks like Jessa.
Feels like the woman he’s imagined for years.
But there’s a problem.
Because Jessa was designed to be perfect.
Emmie is real.
And real women have histories, heartbreak, agency—and desires that don’t fit neatly into someone else’s imagination.
As Wes struggles to untangle obsession from love, and projection from connection, he must decide whether he wants to keep writing the perfect woman…
Or risk falling for the imperfect one standing in front of him.
A layered contemporary romance about authorship, identity, longing, and what happens when the girl in the margins steps into the light.
This Mystery We Are (In Progress).
Episode One — Coming Soon
This is a supernatural mystery about signals that shouldn’t exist.
It’s also a story about love—messy, tender, complicated love—forming under pressure.
This Mystery We Are is Kira Lorne’s first ongoing series, blending paranormal danger with romance and found family. The mysteries are strange and unsettling, but the relationships are what anchor everything.
At the center is Cass and Beck—a straight couple navigating danger, fear, jealousy, and deep loyalty while trying to hold each other together in a world that keeps testing them. Their love is intense, imperfect, protective, and real—full of arguments, near-misses, quiet reconciliations, and the unspoken understanding that they’re choosing each other anyway.
Alongside them are Wren and Junie—soft, chaotic, openly affectionate, and deeply in love. Their relationship is playful and intimate, built on teasing, shared snacks, shared beds, shared laughter, and the kind of devotion that shows up without hesitation. They flirt constantly, protect fiercely, and remind everyone else that love doesn’t have to be heavy to be powerful.
Together, these relationships form the heart of the series.
Romantic love. Found family. The way bonds deepen when you travel together, work together, and survive things you weren’t meant to survive.
Each episode moves the mystery forward—but it also lets the relationships grow: love getting louder, quieter, braver, more honest. The danger escalates. The feelings do too.
Episode One begins the story, with more episodes already planned and coming soon.
Expect This Mystery We Are around March, with additional episodes to follow.
Come for the mystery.
Stay for the love—the kind that holds fast when everything else gets weird.
The Offer (also completed, it just needs a release date).
Some offers change your bank account.
Some change your life.
When a straightforward proposal lands on her doorstep, she tells herself it’s practical. Temporary. Clean.
No strings.
No expectations.
No complications.
He’s successful, composed, and far too used to getting exactly what he wants. She’s independent, sharp, and certain she can keep her emotions out of any arrangement.
It’s just an agreement.
Until it isn’t.
Because the closer they get, the harder it becomes to separate desire from dependency… and control from connection.
What begins as a calculated exchange slowly unravels into something far more dangerous: intimacy.
And once real feelings enter the equation, the rules of the offer no longer apply.
A contemporary romance about power, consent, emotional negotiation, and the risky space between independence and surrender.
