Steamy Romance Author
Harlow James is a pen name I use to protect my identity as a high school teacher. Keeping those two roles in my life separate is necessary, but also fun! It’s like a live two lives, and anonymity gives me the opportunity to be bold and take risks in my stories.
I stumbled upon romance novels in 2018 when I picked up Driven by Kristy Bromberg, and I was obsessed. I had just lost my grandmother too, so reading offered me an escape from reality and a chance to grieve on my own terms.
About a year later, I got an idea for my own book and started writing. I researched self-publishing and jumped in with both feet. I had no idea what I was doing!
But now I’ve built a business and hobby that I LOVE! I have an outlet that’s just for me. When I write, I’m not a mom, a wife, or a teacher…I’m a woman who gets to tell stories that no one else can.
My books are the perfect blend of heartwarming moments, full-bellied laughs, and PLENTY of steam to melt your Kindles 😉 And there are always elements of me sprinkled in to every character and story that I write.
When I’m not writing you can find me reading or spending time in my kitchen. I love to cook and feed my family and friends. Otherwise, you can find me watching comedy specials with my husband, camping with our kids, or taking naps. I live for naps 😉

Blurb:
Pretending to be engaged to my enemy might not be my brightest idea.
But it is definitely necessary.
On the brink of the biggest car show of my career, I start to panic because it’s the first time I have to see my ex since our break-up.
Spoiler alert: it wasn’t clean or amicable.
Then when Elliot Thorne’s ex-fiancé shows back up in town, I devise a plan for both of us to get what we want: a buffer from our exes with a dash of revenge.
The problem is Elliot takes his role to protect me too seriously.
He brings me food while I’m working to make sure I eat. He even silences the self-doubt I feel on a day-to-day basis.
And before I know it, he has me on my knees in my garage, and on my back on the hood of my car.
The hate I’ve harbored toward him melts away as fast as my panties, and I soon realize we have more in common than I thought.
Then he tells me a secret that makes me reevaluate our entire relationship.
Now I’m left to consider if something fake could be real…
And that maybe it’s about time I admit that Elliot isn’t my enemy after all.

After being left at the altar Elliott has spent the last year trying to heal with the support of Dilynne, who is an unlikely source based on their adversarial relationship. What he didn’t need was his father to hire his ex at the family law firm where he worked to derail his progress. When Dilynne suggests that pretending to be engaged will help them both with her exes he agrees even though he has reservations.
Dilynne is confident in her skills as a mechanic but not when it comes to love. They are both dealing with exes that they are trying to show they have moved on from so pretending to be a couple seems like a win-win. The only problem is that the more time they spend together the more the sparks of antagonism between them turn into a very different kind of sparks.
The banter between them is entertaining and her sassy personality always brings a lightness to Elliott which he desperately needs between his family and his ex. The romance between them was always meant to be and the relationship between the friends is heartwarming as this story brings all the feels. James Cassidy brings out every emotion that Elliot is feelings while Mollie Stark brings out the fierce and feisty sides of Dilynne
