Happy Spring, northern hemisphere! I'm gearing up for Readers Take Denver in just a few short weeks and enjoying the official start of spring in Colorado. Spring doesn't look too different from winter—yet—but here's hoping.

 

As many of you know, being an author is not a full-time job—also, yet 😎—and my day job involves being an HR professional on the daily. This week has been killer, y'all. And it got me thinking how I describe my job badly. I tell people I babysit adults for a living.

 

So I'll ask you, if you had to describe your job badly, how would you describe what you do everyday?

Who's ready for Hayley and Jagger?

As a single mom of two, my me-time is sacred. Especially when I volunteer to help my best friend plan her wedding in her small-town. I guess it’s a good thing that my guilty pleasures involve staying up late to devour all the love stories I can.

 

I don’t have time for real life romance. And the idea of there being a Mr. Right for me is purely fictional.

 

Proof of there being no hope for my love life? My neighbor for the summer: playboy Jagger Brooks. He may be on par with the sexiest of my literary lovers, but his cocky attitude makes me want to DNF.

 

Until I get a glimpse of the real him. He may be all broody playboy on the outside, but the inside is a cinnamon roll to rival any of my favorite book boyfriends. And for once I experience the type of spicy scene I’ve only ever read about. But no matter how appealing it would be to give love a real chance, I’m only here for the summer, I can’t get attached.

 

Too bad my heart didn’t get the memo.

 

Falling for the hottie next door when he’s got secrets of his own? Maybe our HEA wasn’t meant to be.
