After a year with her dying aunt, Bette knows what she wants from life.
- Keep Aunt Missy’s house.
- Get her dream job.
- Never compromise.
Chris Pressley is the perfect roommate — uptight and damaged and hung up on his ex. And hot. Bette doesn’t date, but she definitely likes looking.
Chris just needs to get away from the happiest couple on campus: the sweet, shy girl he loves and his former best friend. Watching Bette rock her tattoos and her curves even as she builds her own business is an education. That’s probably why he can’t keep his mind off her….
Bette isn’t interested in changing for anyone. But the heat rising between her and Chris won’t leave her the same….
What can you tell us about the publishing of Moving On?
Like I said in yesterday’s post, Moving On is the third book in my contracted series. Unlike the first two books, I was thrilled when I saw the cover. I felt like it not only represented my characters and story well, but it was also gorgeous.
It was even featured in Publisher’s Weekly Magazine in November of 2015 and my publisher was kind enough to send me a copy.
Moving On was released in February of 2016, and my sales for the series were good enough that I’d just signed a contract to write the fourth book in December of 2015. With the gorgeous cover and the extra attention, I thought I might be able to get some more traction for the series, and my editor at the time was eager for me to start writing more new adult romance novels.
As I’ve mentioned in my other posts about the College of Charleston series, my sales fizzled out and I was getting no marketing help from the publisher – and zero communication about sales – which is why I requested my rights back in 2019. Even though I loved the original cover for Moving On, I adore the new one as well. Plus, I was able to get really creative and add the tattoo my main character has.
And like with the other books in the series, I went all out with the interior formatting.
