Their marriage was supposed to be fake… until it wasn’t.

Tilda needs a husband – fast. Her dream job at the Jessamine Hale Academy for Girls comes with one unexpected condition: all staff must be married. And somehow, she missed that tiny, life-altering detail.

Luckily, she has a plan – convincing her housemate Gus, a charming Danish pastry chef who runs the cozy café Hygge Time, to be her husband. Yes, a fake marriage. Quick, simple, no strings attached.

But when nosy parents and neighbors, a jealous ex, and very real feelings enter the mix, their carefully crafted rules start to crumble.

Because somewhere between “I do” and “we shouldn’t,” Tilda starts to wonder if their pretend marriage might just be the real deal.



Maybe Now – a Maybe… novella

– available exclusively on Substack

A stolen night. A second chance. Maybe this time.

On a rainy evening in Copenhagen, Ragnar and Michela meet at the wedding reception of their mutual exes. Neither is looking for love, but one impulsive night leaves them with a connection neither can forget.

Weeks later, they meet again in a cocktail bar in Matera—and the sparks are still there.

This time, though, Michela has come with Luca, the man she has spent most of her life a little in love with. He represents the future she always thought she wanted.

Scarred by love and afraid to risk their hearts again, Ragnar and Michela must decide whether to hold on to the lives they know …or take a chance on something unexpected.

Maybe Now is an emotional love story about second chances and giving into the unexpected.
