Drive You Crazy

ROMANCE

Fans of Emily Henry and Gilmore Girls will adore this swoon-worthy enemies-to-love romance about how faith, family and small towns are never as simple as they seem.

Bubbly newspaper editor Ashley Anderson is ecstatic to finally call this small town in Washington State ‘home’—until she accidentally angers her newspaper’s biggest advertisers, and they boycott. Her neighbor Justin has the family connections to get the town back on her side—but asking for help from the man she’s nicknamed ‘Dracula’ is a last resort.

Living next door, rebel-with-a-cause teacher Justin Hastings can’t escape Amity Creek fast enough. But when a good deed goes awry, it’s his fault that Ashley’s car is out of action, and they’re forced to carpool until he can make things right.

Thrust into one another’s daily lives, Ashley and Justin learn that little is black-and-white—not small town life, not family, and not each other. But there’s a fork in the road, and these two are destined for separate paths. Can the road less travelled ever lead them back to love?

Don’t miss the chance to immerse yourself in this must-read romance about the complexities—and the beauty—of true love in all its forms.

NEW SHORT ROMANCE

The Rival Kiss

Maisie Hastings has an endless list of reasons to be annoyed with high-school-rival-turned-teaching-colleague Harry Latu. The latest: after surprising each other at school late one Saturday night, she discovers his plans to build a rival school. It could threaten the viability of the small private school they’ve spent their careers in-and shoots to Reason #1 on her Why Harry Is Horrible list. But there’s more to Harry’s secret plan than she’s given him credit for – and when their principal shows up, they both have reasons for not wanting to be discovered. There’s only one good excuse Maisie can improvise of why she’d be here late with Harry – and they’d better make it convincing.
The Rival Kiss is a short romantic prequel to Jessica Kate’s full-length 2024 romance Drive You Crazy.
