I'm giving away 10 SIGNED copies of Upgraded—a Formula 1, ex-boyfriend's dad, age-gap romance—releasing June 24, 2026!

Fun fact: Upgraded features the slowest burn I've ever written. Anyone who's read my work before knows I usually like for my characters to get right to it (literally), so it was an incredible challenge to make these two resist each other for so long. There are so many delicious moments of tension woven into the first half of the story. I'm officially a slow burn believer after writing Evangeline and Alaric's HEA!

In a matter of weeks, he’s changed my perspective sharply. He’s proven that there are good men out there still. That I’m not destined to be alone forever. That while I might be a lot, I won’t be too much for the right person.

That person just can’t be him.

At the heart of the Away We Go Series is a tightknit group of friends: the Even Better Eleven. I loved writing this found family of drivers and siblings—their shenanigans, laugh-out-loud banter, and the quiet ways they care for each other. You’ll meet them all in Upgraded, but take heart: there’s a glossary, and you’ll quickly learn who’s who as the series continues.
