It's cover reveal time for my next book, Learning Curves, which comes out September 2nd! This is a romance set in the world of academia with a former student/teacher dynamic, where a young professor is hired at her alma mater only to find herself working alongside the woman who was her teacher crush when she was an undergrad. It's an age gap, grumpy/sunshine pairing with lots of art (specifically women in art!) Ready for the cover? Here it is, illustrated by the talented Elizabeth Turner Stokes. From the author of Stars Collide and Cover Story comes a steamy will-they-won’t-they romance about a bright young teacher reconnecting with the jaded professor she once pined for. For Audrey Lind, working with clay still evokes memories of her favorite professor. The woman’s zeal for art history ignited Audrey’s own academic career—and her tweed blazers and British accent kindled her first female crush. After fate brings Audrey back to Northshire University to teach, she’s thrilled to be working alongside her former mentor, but the grumpy woman she encounters upon her return is nothing like the dynamo she remembers. Divorce and a stalling career have turned Dr. Michelle Thompson bitter and guarded. When Audrey swoops in to teach the Women in Art class Michelle’s been pitching for years, she longs to hate her. But her young rival is too kind, too enthusiastic, too irresistible. And her passion for life slowly reawakens Michelle’s own. Wary of age gaps and workplace politics, they suppress their smoldering attraction—until one wine-filled night at the pottery wheel puts their romantic truce to the test. Will they keep things on the tenure track or risk it all for love? I do hope to be able to offer signed paperback pre-orders again through my local indie bookstore, so if you want a signed copy, maybe hold off on pre-ordering until I have that information for you. The audiobook should also be available for pre-order soon, and I hope to have a narrator announcement for you soon too! PS I feel like I should also point out that yes, Alison Cochrun has a sapphic romance with the same title releasing on the same day. I tried to get mine changed once I found out, but it was too late, so let's just make Sept 2nd the official Learning Curves day, okay?! All the love for all the Learning Curves books!
