A little about my forthcoming book Curves for Days ...

Curves for Days is the story of Rose and Angus. It's a contemporary romance currently scheduled for release from Sourcebooks in late August 2023. 

What can I tell you about it without giving spoilers?

Hm. Well, if Rose had been the plus-size main character of a romance novel a few decades ago, her story would probably have included a big makeover with weight loss and a dramatic reveal.
This is not what happens in Curves for Days. It's not even what anyone WANTS to happen (Well, except cranky old Miz Ames, but she doesn't get a vote).

In a lot of novels, someone suddenly coming into a lot of money after a lifetime of poverty would result in a wild, showy, brand-name-dropping spending orgy.
Rose, the lottery winner in Curves for Days, wants to keep her new money a secret and live a normal life completely under the radar (Fancy new underwear, though--THAT's doable.).

In "insta-love" romances, the characters are smitten and filled with lust for each other from the start. In Curves for Days, Rose and Angus do not exactly get off to a great start and it takes them a while to recover from that. She thinks he's a big grouchy jerk who hates her guts. He thinks she's a real pain and a smart ass. He's SO glad she's just passing through his little hometown of Galway, NC.

Except she's not just passing through.

And she needs his help to fix up the old house she's bought.

And once they start to work together on it, things ... change.

But how can their lovely, new relationship have a chance, when Rose is keeping eighty million secrets--and using some of it to anonymously fund a project near and dear to Angus' heart --and Angus is the kind of guy who can't accept so much as a free soda without feeling massively guilty?
