THE SUGARPLUM FAIRY
I am so happy to share The Sugarplum Fairy with you all!
This small town, fish out of water Christmas romcom is sure to hit you in the feels and bust a gut with laughter.
The Sugarplum Fairy
Preorders are available now:
"Alaska has it all: it's charming, spacious, and a glorious three thousand miles away from my overbearing family.
Acclimating to the unyielding, harsh winters is supposed to be my biggest hurdle. Moving to a small town, settling in, and discovering myself anew are supposed to be my focus.
Unfortunately for me, once I arrive, I have a new king-sized mattress to move by myself. Oh, did I mention that I purchased food but overlooked buying a single pot or pan? I also inadvertently make the wrong assumption regarding the adorable little bakery in town.
How was I supposed to know the gorgeous, tall, blonde, well-muscled man whose shirt threatened to burst at the seams from his bulging biceps was actually THE Sugarplum Fairy, aka the town’s baker?
But when the former Army, Viking-God is everywhere I turn—always with a kind and helpful offer—my resolve crumbles like a pie crust.
Especially when Zac takes me on an unconventional date that ends with me pinned under his stormy gray eyes. And his lips slanted against my own.
The desire and need between us is more decadent than anything Zac bakes. And a hell of a lot more delicious.
I finally feel like I belong. Like I’ve found home. But as beautiful as that notion is, it doesn’t last.
With the busiest time of the year quickly approaching, I can’t fathom the idea of not spending it with Zac.
I might just need to concoct a Christmas miracle to show him how sweet things can be."
Stay tuned for more!
Cheers,
Piper

Cover Reveal for CULTURE SHOCK
I am beyond excited to officially share the cover for CULTURE SHOCK with you all! Designing this cover was the most fun I've had.
Fun fact: I designed it before the manuscript was completed. I just knew ya know?
I worked with a talented artist that specialized in comic style art. The end result is the exact aesthetic I was going for.
But what's the book about, you ask? Read on...
"The resounding repercussion is the true definition of culture shock.
Lucy Leighton currently had no clients lined up. What she did have was the knowledge of being well versed in all things trendy—being a freelance wedding and elopement photographer meant that new styles, colors and popular fads were all novelties that were in her wheelhouse. When she is summoned to help aid her sister at San Diego Comic-Con though, Lucy is thrown into a world where the latest fashion tides are replaced with a foreign comicverse. And she’s in way over her head.
After an uncomfortable confrontation with a deranged cosplayer, Lucy strikes up a wordy and flirty conversation with the handsome man that came to her rescue. It matters not that he happens to be Velram Comic’s hottest A-list celebrity—Lucy is clueless to the fact. Jake Stanley may be at the top of his career, but coming face to face with someone who doesn’t recognize him is a rarity these days—and also 100% refreshing.
Learning of Jake’s identity after the fact, Lucy shrugs it off. It’s not like she’ll ever see him again. That is, until her sister signs her up for a photography gig on the upcoming six-week Velcon Comic Circuit. Having to stare at his gorgeous mug for eight hours would be all in a day’s work, right? The carefree commitment-phobe and the dashing mega star are smitten immediately. But just as Jake begins to imagine a future with Lucy, their whirlwind romance comes to a screeching halt, leaving the two wondering what went wrong.
What happens when two opposites collide?"
