A Callahan Wedding Cover Reveal!

I can't believe this moment is finally here...

And that I'm sharing with you the LAST cover from the Callahan series! Sigh. I'm feeling nostalgic right now. I've been writing about this family and their friends since late 2019. They got me through the pandemic. They made me laugh, they made me cry, they made me swoon. And now, here we are with the final story - a very special novella called A CALLAHAN WEDDING.

I LOVE how this cover turned out! I hope you like it too - hit reply and let me know your thoughts!

Keep scrolling to check out the amazing cover and the blurb!

From New York Times bestselling author Monica Murphy comes the conclusion to the Callahan series…

There is nothing quite like your first love. And no one knows this better than NFL quarterback Jake Callahan. After being with his high school sweetheart for years, he is finally going to make Hannah his wife.

Their wedding plans start out small. Intimate. A special ceremony with just their family and closest friends. Soon enough though, things get out of control. The guest list is huge. The planned reception, flashy. Jake is miserable. Hannah is overwhelmed. So they send an exclusive invitation to the ones that matter to them the most: pack your bags.

You’re invited to our destination wedding.

Catch up with the Callahan family and their friends from the College Years series in this sexy, fun novella!

Everyone's for sale, including me. One moment I'm the forgotten daughter of one of the most wealthy families in the country, and the next I'm the blushing bride in an arranged marriage. My fate is sealed in my wedded union with a complete stranger.
In public, Perry Constantine is the life of the party. Easygoing. Adored. In private, he's brooding. Dark. Angry. But so am I. It's a contest of wills to see who will break in the bedroom first, and while I try to remain strong, I find myself craving the very man I swore to hate.
My husband.

MAKING HER MINE IS LIVE!

𝗠𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗛𝗘𝗥 𝗠𝗜𝗡𝗘 𝗶𝘀 𝙁𝙧𝙚𝙚 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙆𝙞𝙣𝙙𝙡𝙚 𝙐𝙣𝙡𝙞𝙢𝙞𝙩𝙚𝙙! → https://geni.us/MHMAmz

Beck Callahan.
Star defensive Lineman.
Most popular boy on campus.
One of my best friends.
He’s always been off limits because I know a relationship with him could never work. Like, ever. He’s too perfect, too sweet, too good looking. Taking what we have a step further has the potential to ruin everything, and his friendship is too important to me.
So I keep it friendly, always with my feelings locked up tight. We talk. We date other people.
Until the beginning of senior year, one night at a party. When lines are blurred and eventually crossed. It was the best night of my life. A night I will never forget. Or regret. It’s all I can think about. He’s all I can think about.
But I’m also a little spooked. Beck says all the right things, and his sweet words make me feel…everything.
He’s determined to make me his.
Should I let him? Or do I risk losing him as my boyfriend and my best friend?

Cutest cover EVER designed by Emily Wittig!
Here's the blurb:
Have you ever had a crush on that one guy in school who everyone loves? Of course you have. I have too. I’m actually living that crush right now. And while I’ve been friends with Beck Callahan for a long time, I don’t think he sees me beyond friendship.
Okay fine, we had a minor—thing for each other in middle school, but that doesn’t count. We’ve changed a lot over the years. He’s become so popular. What am I saying? He’s been popular forever. Back in the day, twelve-year-old me hoped he would eventually be my boyfriend.
Alas, that was never meant to be, which is probably best. Middle school relationships crash and burn quick. He’s truly one of my favorite people, but I know now we could never make it as a couple. He’s him while I’m just…
Me.
So he’s my secret bae. The idealized boy who can do no wrong and proves himself time and time again that he’s absolutely, undoubtedly perfect. Dreamy.
The ultimate bae.



AND another surprise!

Totally excited to share with y'all this fun project for romance book lovers. We've brought together recipes from some of your favorite romance novels, curated by private chefs, and available soon in this amazing cookbook!
My contribution is the Wedding Toast French 75, a delicious champagne cocktail featured in my upcoming book THE RELUCTANT BRIDE. 🥂

Amelia Lee is in desperate need of a change.
Finally free from her controlling ex-boyfriend, she’s not looking to date someone new, even though all of her friends are encouraging her to do exactly that. One in particular believes she’s found the perfect guy for Amelia. So she sets her up on a blind date.
At a wedding.
Amelia has no idea the guy she bumped into at her friend’s Christmas tree farm is the same one she’s been set up with at a wedding reception. Isaac Jones is a nice guy. A good looking guy. A much younger guy. No way could they be compatible - they have nothing in common.
The more time Amelia spends with Isaac though, the more she realizes he just might be perfect for her. He makes her laugh. He’s a complete gentleman. And they’re definitely compatible between the sheets…
But is he only the rebound guy? Or can they actually make this newfound romance work?
