Accidental Heat

2019

Klutz, clumsy, uncoordinated, unfortunate… I’ve heard it all. All variations of the phrase “stuff happens” is my life’s motto. As the poster child for Murphy’s Law, I get in trouble more than I care to mention. Opting to own it, I march through town with my head held high and my bruises on display. An unfortunate run-in with a tree has me retreating to lick my wounds. Ignoring my now ex-boyfriend, I choose to focus on honing my cooking techniques and ignoring the world. Since disaster is my boyfriend, it’s not long before another mishap brings me face-to-face with my recurring wet dream, Levi Gianni. The ex-prom king and resident heart-throb happens to moonlight as a volunteer firefighter. While he may have doused the flames I’d accidentally created, he’s ignited something much hotter. I just need him to know that I’m a risk worth taking.

Nerd No More

2020

Hello. I'm Simon - the other half of the Disaster Twins or the Terrible Two depending on who you ask - and I'm returning home after a ten-year hiatus. While I'm excited to see my partner in crime, everyone else can kiss my ass. We had a lot of fun together despite being the two most disliked people in school. Vera is an adorable klutz and I was considered to be socially awkward. "Weird" is what they called me. I'm still weird, but now that I'm rich and attractive, I get a lofty upgrade to "eccentric." I'm only returning to reunite with my best friend and serve as a visual "f\\k you" to all the girls who laughed at me. Especially Grier. She never insulted me; what she did was worse. She would be my friend and charm me when no one was looking, then pretend she didn't know me in public. I'm not a toy and I hate when people play with my emotions. In retrospect, I was wrong. I have three reasons to return. What's my newly added reason? To revenge f\\k the Prom Queen.

Francesca Penn lives in Texas with her husband and son. While obtaining her Technical Writing degree, a creative writing course and play-writing elective reawakened her desire to create stories. Her brain lives in fiction; even the songs she listens to become music videos in her head. When she is not writing, she can be found hounding her loved ones with multiple "What-if" scenarios. As a true closet romantic, she is prone to filling up her DVR with Hallmark movies. A friend once told her that she'd trained the whole 20 plus years she'd known her to write romance since her nose was always in a love story. Francesca believes that love is colorblind and plans to provide a mix of couples of different races and ethnicities because - to her - men are like Skittles, and we all know their motto.
