Hey there, fellow sufferer of fictional feelings I did not ask for,
So I've been writing Jack Henderson trying to charm Skylar Noir.
Which means I've been muttering failed pickup lines out loud at my desk for three days straight. Different angles. Different deliveries. Trying to find the exact version that lands absolutely nowhere because she is immune and he is losing his mind about it.
Mr. Mav walked past the office, stopped, backed up.
"Are you... practicing flirting?"
"It's for a character."
"The character isn't very good at it."
"He's EXCELLENT at it. She's just immune. THAT'S THE POINT."
He nodded slowly and kept walking. I heard him tell one of the dogs something on his way out. I chose not to investigate.
Anyway. New month. I come bearing books and mild panic. Let's do this.
🐝 TLDR — here's what's happening
📖 May's HEARTTHROB of the month PICK
New month. New book. New second chance I am absolutely not going to survive emotionally.
Sam Durbin is a rookie NHL player with a breakout season ahead of him — until a high ankle sprain sidelines him and lands him face to face with the woman he never forgot and never got over.
Angelina Rossi is a physical therapist who has worked too hard for her dream job to risk it on the man who once walked away. She has a plan. She has professional boundaries. She has absolutely no interest in this situation.
Except treatment sessions have a way of blurring lines. And old wounds have a way of igniting into something far more dangerous than either of them planned for.
His future. Her career. A second chance that might break them both before it saves them.
Deking at Love by G.K. Brady is everything I love — forbidden workplace tension, second chance heat, and that specific agony of two people who know better and can't seem to care.
It is free this month as our Heartthrob of the Month pick.

🔥 ABOUT JUNE AND MY COMPLETE LACK OF PREPARATION
Hotshot drops in June.
JUNE.
Which is next month. Which is very soon. Which means Jack Henderson and Skylar Noir's entire chaotic, complicated, history-laden disaster of a situation needs to be finished, polished, and ready to ruin your life on a specific calendar date.
I am fine. I am completely fine. I am currently writing approximately three thousand words a day fueled by spite and the knowledge that Jack would absolutely judge me for missing my own deadline.
He's charming. She's immune. They have history she'd very much like to forget now that she's his doctor. And I need to finish their story before June makes a liar out of me.
Preorder is live. If you haven't grabbed it yet — now's the time. Locking in that preorder is the kindest thing you can do for both of us right now.
