Yes & I Love You

Roni Loren, celebrated on the New York Times and USA Today bestseller lists, weaves a captivating tale full of intensity. The plot revolves around a woman grappling with her anxiety, a seemingly perfect man, and the electric chemistry forged during sultry New Orleans evenings. This story reaches an emotional crescendo that sees both protagonists exposing their true selves.

The city knows Miz Poppy as the lively reviewer who lights up the New Orleans nightlife with her insights. Yet, behind this persona is Hollyn Tate, a woman plagued by anxiety and hiding from the world. Hollyn has always sheltered her real identity online, but when her employer insists she unveils her true self or risks losing her job, she turns to an unlikely ally for courage.

Jasper Deares, an actor and improv performer, steps into the picture. He's a man Hollyn thinks is far out of her reach. Yet, when Jasper proposes private sessions to help her conquer her anxieties, she is caught off guard. Despite her initial trepidation, Hollyn agrees to tackle her stage fright with Jasper's help, his charm making it difficult to refuse. What begins as simple improv exercises slowly transforms, blurring boundaries and leaving Hollyn to question whether she's merely playing a role or if there's a deeper connection that might inspire her to fully embrace herself.
