Several months ago, I had an idea for a novella I wanted to write set at Thackeray College where David, Hank, and Miranda from NOT QUITE PERFECT and THE WORST MAN are professors, and where Ross O'Connor, my hero from the Dublin Rugby novella SIDELINED, has come to coach rugby.
I loved the idea so much, I reached out to a few author friends and asked if they would be interested in contributing their own novellas to this world. And thus, the "Love at First Kiss" multi-author shared world was born.

When you’re a broke college student and someone offers you a couple hundred dollars for an hour of your time, you take it. That’s how how I find myself caressing the cheek of the most gorgeous woman I’ve ever laid eyes on while a photographer stands five feet away taking photos of us pretending to be in love.
They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but the only ones I can think of are you’re perfect and I want you. And from the way Emmy’s pulse flutters in her neck as her eyes lock with mine, I know she feels it, too.
So even though we only just met, I’m hoping she’ll say the one word I want to hear most: yes.
