There’s a new romance anthology coming out soon, and I have a brand new short story in it!
My contribution to the anthology is “Fired Up,” a romcom that’s set in the town of Bevershire, home of Woody O’Flanagan’s Pub. There are a few cameos from characters you’ll know if you’ve read the “Once a Week at Woody’s” series.
Here’s what an early reader of my contribution said: “…such a cute story! A gal leaving her busy life in the city to work at a quaint small town newspaper with the adorably sexy bachelor school teacher. Could totally be a Hallmark movie, spicy version.”
The anthology comes out February 12th. Here’s the description:
Dive into a world where love ignites in the blink of an eye with “Just Add Love,” a captivating collection of contemporary romance short stories. Each tale weaves the enchanting theme of instalove, exploring the magic that happens when two hearts collide unexpectedly.
From encounters in bustling city cafes to chance meetings at picturesque parks, these stories celebrate the exhilarating spark of immediate connection. Follow characters as they navigate their emotions, face their fears, and discover the transformative power of love at first sight.
Perfect for readers who believe in the beauty of spontaneous romance, “Just Add Love” invites you to experience heartwarming moments, laughter, and a few delightful surprises along the way.
All proceeds go to Breast Cancer Research.
Romance Cafe Publishing has been donating to BCRF from the proceeds to select anthologies since 2019.

I’ve been living with stage IV Metastatic Breast Cancer (MBC) since 2017 and I’m curious, what organization will receive the funds raised for “breast cancer research”?
