About my Debut Novel
One Perfect Weekend + One Viral Mistake =
A Love Story that's the Opposite of Serendipity.
Emma McCoy hates her job almost as much as she loves roasting corporate life online. So, when a charming stranger at a wine bar distracts her from another soul-sucking day in IT, she says yes to one spontaneous date.
Michael Bass is drowning under the pressure of inheriting his father’s billion-dollar legacy. The stress, expectations, and constant scrutiny are enough to make anyone crack, even someone who was groomed for it since he could pronounce synergy. Then a chance encounter with a sassy woman at a wine bar turns his world inside out. She doesn’t know his last name, doesn’t care about his money, and actually sees the man behind the CEO title.
One afternoon turns into an unforgettable Austin weekend filled with music, laughter, and chemistry neither of them can ignore. For Michael, she’s the first person who’s lit him up in years, and for Emma, he understands her in a way no one else ever has… without ever treating her like she’s “too much.” By Monday morning, they’re both hopeful that this could be the start of something real.
But the universe has a wicked sense of humor.
When an impulsive decision by a certain CEO throws Emma’s life into a tailspin, they’ll have to decide whether one unforgettable and very steamy weekend is worth turning their lives upside down.
Can Emma really take a chance on a tech bro who represents everything she claims to hate?
And how far will Michael go to prove that what they found wasn’t just a weekend fling, but something worth fighting for?
Meet Carolyn
A lifelong reader and writer, Carolyn Hawkins brings you a debut novel with lots of laughs, spice, and, of course, a happily ever after.
Armed with a BS in Journalism & Literature, Carolyn spent years hustling through corporate America before burnout nudged her back to the dream she’d put on pause. Now she writes the kind of swoony, laugh-out-loud romances she loved as a reader.
When she’s not drafting meet-cutes or daydreaming about fictional men, you can usually find her wandering around Austin, cuddling her husband, or pretending that “one more chapter” won’t keep her up past midnight.
