Surprise! 🧡 Bend Toward the Sun is getting a ma Surprise! 🧡 Bend Toward the Sun is getting a mass market paperback version in April. Do you love mass market books? I do - they fit in more places. 😊 #bendtowardthesun #jendevon #massmarketpaperback #massmarketromance #contemporaryromance #sexybooks #readromance #romancebookstagram
This book is so packed with romance trope & microt This book is so packed with romance trope & microtrope goodness that it was hard to decide which ones to include here. Here are my faves. 💜

Everyone's interpretation will be different, but I think RIGHT WHERE WE LEFT US is, um, ~more~ angsty than BEND TOWARD THE SUN? Is that possible? It's also even hotter. These two are so cosmically gone for each other, and they've spent over a decade doing whatever it takes to avoid fully confronting their feelings. Mess, both of them.

Also. If you read BTTS and thought to yourself, "wow I just really want more Rowan and Harry", I've got you, friend. There's soooo much Brady Content (TM) in this book. Including the donkey. 

I really don't know how I'm going to wait until next summer to share this book with y'all. 

Please add to Goodreads, and preorder, and shout to your friends about preordering! And tell them to read BEND TOWARD THE SUN, too. This book will stand alone, but it will be a much more satisfying read for people who have read BTTS. 🧡 

Thank you all for squeeing with me today! Romance bookstagram really is my favorite corner of the interweb. And extra-big love to @jsbookishnook and @allthebooksalltheways who helped me put together a last-minute (literally, last night because I didn't realize it was 9/8 today, lol) DREAM TEAM of incredible bookstagrammers to help me debut this beauty today. ILY, endlessly. 💜

RIGHT WHERE WE LEFT US: June 18, 2024. 💜

Temperance Jean Madigan and Duncan Brady have never gotten it right. After one radiant, secret summer together when they were eighteen, they’ve been on-again off-again ever since. Now, despite red-hot chemistry and TJ’s closeness with Duncan’s family, they’re virtually strangers, only capable of adversarial banter, awkward small talk—and the occasional messy hookup.

When a wedding at the Brady’s vineyard lands TJ there for the summer, their mutual avoidance strategies prove impossible. The last thing TJ wants is to be under those angsty, heated glances Duncan thinks he hides. And for Duncan, having fiery TJ constantly close is the ultimate distraction that he absolutely can’t afford. When forced proximity begins to chip away at their armor, buried tensions resurface, old wounds urge confrontation, and once-in-a-lifetime love demands one last chance to finally get it right.

There's a link to add to Goodreads in my bio! 💜 I can't wait to share more with you about this book. Writing it nearly broke me, but in the absolute best, most satisfying way.
