Finding love is finding where you belong.
Mackenzie Milcrest–Miss Mac to her students–is a high school English teacher, comfortable with her job, her life, and her place in the world. The only thing she loves more than her students is a good book and a quiet night alone to cozy up and read. She’s happy…
Or, at least, she thinks she is.
Daniel Evans is a world-famous writer—and for good reason. Over ten years ago, when he was still a teenager, his first book became a runaway hit, and readers have not stopped asking for more ever since. Now, a decade later, he’s rich. Charming. Handsome…
He’s also suffering from a massive writer’s block.
Desperate to shake things up, Daniel employs the help of his publisher, who only has to pull a couple of strings to get him a front-row seat to his next novel’s setting: a public high school.
All he has to do is sit in Mac’s classroom every day and shadow her every move.
Strictly in the name of research, of course.
The problem is, Mac can’t keep acting like he’s invisible. Not when the growing pull he has on her grows stronger every second.
Falling in love with Daniel Evans is not in Mac’s lesson plan, but can she ignore how beautifully their stories intertwine?
Praise for The Write Place
Allie’s writing is like a cup of coffee at the perfect temperature, shared with your best friend as they listen to your life’s struggles. The Write Place is no different. Mac and Daniel’s story is filled with heartwarming moments with the coziest setting you could imagine. It feels like a love letter—not just to romance, but to books themselves. Their relationship unfolds with a balance of tenderness and relatability, navigating internal struggles along the way. The Write Place is beautiful, relatable and witty, filled with amazing moments and the best friend group.

You can’t love someone else until you learn to love yourself.
If anyone had asked her nine years ago, Jenny Green would have said she was ready to settle down into domestic bliss. She had a boyfriend, a job teaching English at the local high school, and everything was falling into place.
Except the guy was wrong, the job was hard, and everything was actually falling apart.
Enter Ben Allouer: the strong, sexy wrestling coach who probably would have asked Jenny on a date the moment he met her, if it weren’t for that other guy.
But even when Jenny is single, a series of stumbles keep her and Ben apart, and when Jenny begins to fill the gaps with drunken escapades and one night stands, Ben is forced to watch from the sidelines.
Now, nine years later, everyone around her seems to have their lives in order, but Jenny is left feeling more alone than ever before. Luckily, Ben is more than willing to step in to help her find her balance.
It’d be easy to fall for him if it weren’t for Jenny’s past continuing to haunt her, convincing her she’s not good enough for the kind of love Ben wants to give.
Ben wants to wrestle Jenny away from her own self-doubt, but is she strong enough to let love win?
Praise for The Write Time
The Write Time started as a heartwarming and engaging story, hooking me from the very first chapter. By the time I was 70% in, the story won and I was a giant mess of emotions rooting for Ben and Jenny. By the end, I had no tears left, my legs hurt from kicking my feet, and my book boyfriend roster had a new addition: Ben (the man he is!). A patient, mature, emotionally intelligent communicator who also cooks with you? Yes, please

Content Warnings/Possible Triggers
- multiple explicit, on-page sex scenes
- descriptions of car accident, death, grief (some chapters are flashbacks, so a friend’s death is quasi-on-page)
- lots of alcohol consumption and over-consumption by FMC and a hint that a side character may be a recovering alcoholic
- cheating/adultery by a past boyfriend (NOT THE MMC)
- domestic violence (one of the characters throws a dish at a wall during a fight, which I think is domestic violence, but it doesn’t go further than that)
- one night stands talked about but not described in detail
- feeling alienated by a friend
- emotionally difficult parent

Loving someone is seeing their worst moments and choosing them anyway.
When Katie and Brandon unexpectedly became parents, they were just starting to fall in love with their baby and each other. Life was good.
Now, seven years later, Brandon has a wife, two kids, and a career in New York City. He’s just having trouble figuring out how to balance it all.
Katie—eight years sober and immersed in motherhood—is frustrated with her husband’s late nights and her own loneliness. She’d love to fill the gaps with her art, but she doesn’t have much time.
Suddenly, Brandon is offered a golden opportunity: taking over his parents’ architecture firm. The catch? It’s in Chicago. But when Katie’s sobriety is put at risk, he makes a quick decision to transplant his family to suburban Leade Park, Illinois.
Katie begrudgingly gives Brandon two months to persuade her that this move will be better for everyone. If he can’t, she’s going to pack up the kids and go back. With or without him.
With the kids in school, she’ll have time for her art, and they’re finally reunited with friends and family. It should be easy to convince her, right?
But the familiar pull of the job and the unfamiliarity of a new place have them slipping further away from each other with each passing day.
Can Katie and Brandon blend their visions and design the life they want? Or will they choose to go their separate ways?
