Three hundred and sixty-five multiplied by three. That’s the number of days (give or take) that have passed since Cecelia St. May has left her house. If you’re not up for doing the math, that’s three years. Not coincidentally, it’s also the number of days she has not been on a date, been kissed, or properly man-handled in any way. But, more importantly, it’s the number of days she’s been grieving the loss of her father to the hairy, surly beast known as breast cancer.
Though she spends her days feeling lonely, she’s not alone. She has her best friend Ashton, her faithful black lab, Master Chief, and most importantly, her Xbox.
CeeCee (aka PrettyPanties to her online gamer friends) is quite the badass in the high-paced, high friction, alien-killing, Nazi-shooting world of gaming, and she’s finally caught the attention of her one and only cyber crush, MrNotSoSmall@All.
If you’ve ever been stuck in life (like really freaking stuck) and in love (like, really freaking in love) with a man who knows you only as your gamer tag (I realize it’s sad) then you know how badly CeeCee needs to get a life. But maybe with just the right push and a much-needed sense of humor, she can finally break free from her fear and live the life her father dreamed for her, the life She knows she deserves to live.

About the author

Hi, I’m Jamie!

I write contemporary romances about messy lives, second chances, unexpected adventures, and the brave (and sometimes ridiculous) things people do in the name of love.

Before becoming a nonprofit operations leader, I spent several years working as a flight attendant, collecting enough stories and interesting characters to inspire a lifetime of books. Today I live in North Florida with my husband, three children, and a constantly growing list of story ideas that refuse to leave me alone.

My books tend to feature resilient women finding their way through heartbreak, loss, friendship, healing, and new beginnings—with plenty of humor and hope along the way. If you enjoy quirky characters, emotional growth, found family, witty dialogue, and romances that leave you smiling, you’re in the right place.

I’m currently working on my next novel and am always grateful for readers who take a chance on an indie author. Thank you for being here, for reading, and for supporting stories that celebrate love, resilience, and the beautiful unpredictability of life.
