Description
Fortune Favors the Broken
Eden Sinclair is a hobby novelist barely keeping it together, and she's tired of pretending otherwise. She's spent years outrunning her past, but the cracks are getting harder to ignore.
Nathan Ward is a surveillance agent whose only two priorities are catching the nation's most notorious, and making sure his mother doesn't have to eat dinner alone.
When a premature click puts Eden in Nathan's path, it feels like nothing short of fate. He couldn't save his sister, but maybe Eden’s the redemption he's been searching for. He can help her in ways no one else can, as long as no one notices how invested he's becoming.
After a brush with death lands Eden in group therapy, things finally start looking up. Brunches with Paige feel lighter, and even the neighbor's cat, Fritter, seems to like her more. With a renewed appreciation for life and oddly good luck, Eden has time to think about her future—and her abysmal love life.
But the new guy at this week's meeting could change that...

Marketing Plan
How far would you go to save someone from themselves?
Miss Fortune is a compelling slow-burn contemporary romance debut from a copy editor-turned-writer who adores romance—but only when the romance isn't the whole plot. Variety is the spice of life, as they say. For fans of the You series by Caroline Kepnes, Verity by Colleen Hoover, Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte, Watching You by Lisa Jewel, and Margot's Got Money Troubles by Rufi Thorpe. Comparable titles in other media include the TV series Nobody Wants This and The Four Seasons.
Tropes in Miss Fortune include: voyeurism, he falls first, FBI agent MMC, troubled childhood, slow burn, delicious yearning, witty banter, group therapy sessions, and lovable sidekicks, with a spice level of 2/5 (for book 1!) and no annoying cliffhanger ending.
Miss Fortune launches on lucky Friday the 13th of November 2026, with the ebook being available for free via Kindle Unlimited. The book will also be available in paperback and hardcover via Amazon, or via my website for merch promo boxes, which include: a paperback copy of Miss Fortune, two art prints, a bookmark, four stickers, and a wax-sealed handwritten thank you note.
This is book one in a trilogy. The second book (Miss Taken) is complete and will be releasing in March 2027. The final book (Miss Guided) is currently being written and will be releasing in July 2027. Feel free to subscribe to my author newsletter via Substack, where I share book news before social media, and you can read the prequel short story, Miss Understood, for free.
