There’s something magical about the books that sneak up on you.

The ones that begin with a simple idea and somehow grow into a story that lives in your chest long after you type “The End.”

That was Love Song for me.

At its heart, this book is about two people who were never supposed to fit together.

Olive Carver is almost forty, fiercely independent, pregnant by choice, emotionally bruised, and absolutely determined to build a safe, stable life for herself and her baby. She is done chasing men who can’t commit. Done compromising herself for love that never quite arrives.

And then Buckle Jones walks into her life.

Or rather… crashes into it.

Buckle is a world-famous rockstar who has spent decades living loudly—tour buses, sold-out arenas, adrenaline, danger, noise. But underneath all of it is a lonely man who becomes obsessed with a voice he hears on a paranormal podcast late at night.

A voice that calms him.

Haunts him.

Calls him.

Until eventually he does something absolutely ridiculous in order to meet the woman behind it.

And honestly? Watching these two fall in love hit me right in the heart.

Because this isn’t a perfect romance between perfect people.

It’s messy. Vulnerable. Intense. Funny. Sometimes completely unhinged.

There are pregnancy hormones and emotional baggage and small-town gossip. There are secrets, fears, awkward tenderness, and one very persistent rockstar who simply refuses to walk away once he realizes Olive is it for him.

And Buckle…

Oh, Buckle.

This man surprised me over and over while writing him.

Underneath the swagger and flirtation is someone deeply romantic. Deeply devoted. The kind of man who falls once and falls forever. The kind of man who sees a pregnant woman in oversized pajamas and thinks she’s the most beautiful thing in the world.

The kind of man who hears a voice in the dark and spends two years trying to find his way to her.

I think what I love most about Love Song is that it’s ultimately a story about trust.

About learning to believe someone can stay.

About realizing love doesn’t always arrive at the “right” time or in the “right” form—but sometimes it arrives exactly when you need it most.

And sometimes?

It sounds a little haunted.

✨ Tropes you’ll find inside:

• Rockstar romance
• Later-in-life romance
• Pregnant heroine
• Obsessed hero
• He falls first
• Small-town romance
• Emotional slow burn
• Protective hero energy
• Found family vibes
• Big feelings + HEA

And yes… there’s a baby.

A very loved baby.

Thank you so much for supporting my books, my characters, and my slightly chaotic fictional worlds. I hope Love Song makes you laugh, ache, swoon, and maybe clutch your chest a little by the end.

Now excuse me while I emotionally recover from Buckle Jones existing in my imagination.
