Hi folks!

Just leaving you a little note to introduce my new sports romance, Hits Different. This story and these lovable characters have existed in my head for years, and I'm super excited they're now out in the world for you to read and enjoy too! The full blurb is available in the description, but I'm going to repeat the tagline here because I love it so much:

Unrequited love. Until it isn't.

“He was popular. Funny. Cocky. He had a sensitive side too, if you knew where to look”. I blink, transporting myself to the backrow of homeroom. He always sat closest to the window. “I think he found some of the press attention difficult to deal with”. “A sensitive dude-bro with a sense of humour. I can hear the ears of a million Young Adult authors pricking up from here. Did he have a girlfriend?”

“He pulls away from me so that I can’t see his face. I’ve never seen him choked up before. Ever. “Did I do something?” When he turns back, his eyes are glistening. What he says swells and breaks my heart at the same time. “You showed up”. *”
