✨ Excerpt 

The dress—the dress—is hanging on the back of the bathroom door like it knows it’s about to change my entire life. Or, you know. At least dramatically alter my emotional stability. As I put it on, I give the dress a stern talking to about our expectations for the evening. This is a dress designed to inspire lust and confidence. It’s doing a lot of heavy lifting. It’s inspired by Daenerys Targaryen’s blue Grecian dress—flowy, soft, with a draped neckline and long trailing scarves that are, in hindsight, a tripping hazard waiting to happen. My hair is pinned back with little dragon clips I am deeply obsessed with. I have a dragon-shaped clutch. I may or may not have gone a little overboard. Okay, I definitely went overboard. But I never get to do this. At work, I’m “the girl in oversized sweaters who hoards markers.” In real life, I’m… also that girl but also with yarn. So if I have an excuse to go full fantasy heroine? I’m taking it. I smooth my hands down the fabric of the dress, staring at myself in the mirror. “Okay,” I tell my reflection. “This is fine. This is normal. You are a normal person who definitely isn’t using a themed wedding as a litmus test for your romantic future.” Because that’s the thing. This is a test.

BLURB

Tavey has three rules for attending her coworker’s wedding:

1. Don’t make it weird

2. Don’t drink too much

3. Definitely don’t hit on Miller Evans

When she breaks all three before dessert, she’s sure she’s ruined her chances and their friendship.

Except Miller Evans—the quiet, steady, devastatingly competent man she’s been crushing on for years—turns out to want her too.

The only problem?

He doesn’t do impulsive.

He does forever.

I write the kinds of books I want to read. Fast-paced books with lots of world-building, snarky heroines, and swoony heroes. I love story, pop culture, gossip, and baked goods. I’m a modern-day hippy and certified LEGO nerd.

I live in the Austin, Texas hill country, with my geeky husband and two extremely geeky kids. We have dogs, chickens, cats, and more LEGOs than should be allowed by law.
