No Room For Rivals
2026
I’m competing for a promotion I’ve spent years earning. He’s treating this like it’s a game.
Hi. I’m Ivy Ellison—strategic, data-driven, and about to strangle my coworker on camera. Cole Hartwell, company wildcard and my professional rival, is six feet of muscle that screams “trust me, it’ll work”.
My romantic history is a graveyard of being the "second choice." Men don't choose me—they settle. So long ago, I decided to choose my career. I'm one step away from my dream role, and the only thing standing in my way is Cole’s smug, handsome face.
One high-stakes trip.
One career-making campaign.
And one cramped hotel suite not designed for two people who "hate" each other this much.
The assignment? Produce a live-streamed eco-activism singles weekend at the Hotel Bellwether. The celebrity headliner? Blaze Tate, a caffeinated golden retriever with a gazillion followers and zero impulse control. When he cannonballs into the ocean with sea lions, donations pour in. The more he goes off script, the more I lose my sanity.
Cole treats our rivalry like foreplay and acts like the sleeping arrangements (and my curves) are somehow his problem. He’s determined to prove that winging it wins campaigns, and every viral spike is proving him right. Somewhere between fighting for my career and resisting the urge to shut him up with my mouth, I’m starting to wonder if the biggest risk isn't losing my promotion—but walking away from the one person who might finally choose me first.
Book #3 in the Hotel Bellwether series, delivers enemies-to-lovers-tension with one bed, forced proximity, competence kink, and a slow burn that absolutely brings the heat. Perfect for fans of Meghan Quinn chaos and Tessa Bailey steam.

A Bitter Suite Divide
2026
Hotel Bellwether has a long history of broken hearts finding love.
And Sadie’s heart is broken from a situationship that was really more of a string of one-night stands. But she is at the resort for her sister’s wedding and will absolutely not be falling in love. Then Jamison, the man responsible for the tiny pieces of her heart, arrives.
Discovering he’s the best man—and brother—of the groom ruins her plans to forget all about his stupid gorgeous face.
When surly Jamison sees Sadie in the Bellwether’s lobby, he can’t believe the luck. She’s always so fun that even he can’t be a stick in the mud. But his mood quickly sours when she pretends to not know him, and worse is confusingly livid to be stuck with neighboring suites.
For the sake of their siblings, they’ll play nice and pretend to be strangers despite the heated nights they’ve spent together. But resisting the force of their attraction might be the hardest thing they’ve ever done.
A Bitter Suite Divide is a steamy second-chance, enemies to lovers, with a guaranteed HEA.
