The Beta Test

YA Romcom · No spice

Avery has senior year mapped to the decimal point. The one thing she didn't plan for is the stranger on her phone.

Avery James knows one thing for certain—she's going to join her beloved boyfriend Braden at MIT next year. She simply has to complete her senior-year checklist: become swim team captain, ace her classes, and graduate as valedictorian. Easy peasy.

Unfortunately for Avery, her perfect plan falls apart. Braden won't pick up her calls, her GPA plummets, and her nemesis starts encroaching on her aspirations. Most bewildering of all, her lifelong best friend's little brother Jake is suddenly everywhere she turns.

When her high school launches Connection Services, a new anonymous social app, Avery does something very un-Avery: she opens it. Within days she's talking to a stranger called Mr. Pi—and he might be the only person who actually gets her.

Avery is a facts girl. Here's one she isn't ready for: some connections are a lot closer to home than they appear.

Breaking Changes

Adult Women's Fiction · Romance

Andie can run an ER, raise a kid, and weather a separation. The one thing she can't do is make a friend — until Connection Services.

Dr. Andie James can run a chaotic ER and stare down the hospital's most arrogant surgeon without blinking. It's everything else in her life that’s falling apart. Her husband moved out, her house is a disaster, and her son has emotional needs she can’t even begin to navigate. But most devastating of all is the realization that without her marriage, she has no social life whatsoever. How can someone so competent at work be so unable to make a single friend?

Resolved to change, Andie signs herself up for every social opportunity she can. The results are disastrous. So she doubles down on her usual plan—work harder, feel less, tell everyone she's fine.

Then Connection Services, the anonymous social app everyone's talking about, matches her with someone called Fuchsia Diamond. Fuchsia is warm, funny, and listens like Andie’s worth hearing. With no name and no face attached, Andie does something she hasn't managed in years. She lets someone in.

When Andie realizes her new friend isn’t a stranger after all, she has to decide whether to break contact or change her life in ways she never imagined.
