My debut novel “You!” “Beautifully Ours” is out on Amazon and kindle now please go check it out!!!
One strict contract. Two meddling families. And a lifelong friendship about to warp completely. Kaytlin and Elliot have been inseparable best friends since the absolute dawn of time. From kindergarten caterpillar show-and-tells to surviving the brutal hallways of senior year, their future has always been a perfectly calculated, joint operation: graduate high school, move downtown for college, share an apartment, and remain best friends forever. To protect that dream from relentless school gossip, they lock themselves into a strict, unspoken "Safety Zone Treaty." They are just friends. Nothing more. But their platonic armor has already been quietly cracking since junior prom. Ever since a confusing, electric current ran between them on the slow-dance floor, terrifying, deeper feelings have been trying to claw to the surface—feelings they aggressively ignore to protect the friendship. The security of that treaty hits a major breaking point over Christmas break, when a family trip to a snowy mountain cabin forces them to share a cramped, velvet couch under a single blanket, dragging their hidden feelings right into the light. Before they can even recover from the fallout of that cold winter night, the safety zone is tested like never before when their over-enthusiastic moms drag them into a joint family spring break trip to a luxury tropical resort in Miami. Suddenly, Kaytlin and Elliot find themselves trapped in a high-stakes forced proximity minefield, their parents wielding video cameras, and an electric current that refuses to stay hidden behind their protective masks. From late-night balcony confessions to breathless tumbles on summer camp dodgeball courts, the invisible walls they built to protect their history start to crumble. As the graduation clock aggressively ticks down to zero, the real world begins to bleed into their private paradise. Decisions must be made, hidden secrets are about to be exposed, and a looming deadline threatens to change the layout of their lives forever. When the safety masks are finally thrown away and the rules no longer apply, will they have the courage to face what’s always been standing right in front of them? Or will they realize that some contracts are just too terrifying to sign? Discover a heartwarming, slow-burn contemporary romantic comedy packed with tender banter, chaotic family setups, and a beautiful, wholesome journey that proves your person has been by your side all along.
