A lighthearted contemporary RomCom filled with romance book world nods, witty asides, fun friendships, self-discovery, personal triumphs, beachy bliss, and some steamy love scenes.

Sometimes midlife comes at you fast, and you can either wallow in your own self-pity or try something a little more positive than sitting around in your panties drinking whiskey, eating ice cream, and sobbing.

Peach Kincaid sees years of marriage dissolve in a single moment, along with her already waning dreams of being a romance author. That is, until her bestie Marny talks her into taking a small stack of her debut novel Grayson Edging: Shades of Passion Series, Book 1 to Rambling Romanticon, the big book fest Peach had signed up for on a lark, never thinking she would actually be enrolled at the same event that her favorite author Rose Ramble was headlining.

With nothing left to lose Peach sets off for the book fest hotel, half expecting to chicken out at check-in. At the evening party following the signing, she is feeling utterly un-Instagram-able and un-TikTok-able. But then her usual clumsiness pays off for the first time in her life when, after a minor conflagration, one of the male cover models at Romanticon steps in and saves the day.

Still married, and feeling like a fish out of water, Peach must now navigate the uncertain futures of both the career she desperately wants and the hunky model who fans the embers of her passion into flames.

This book is a love letter to romance readers, debut authors, and all middle-aged women working on their glow-up, with open-door romance, strong female friendships, and a plus-size heroine.
