Twenty-seven-year-old Dani Sommer is spiraling and drowning her grief in all the wrong things. She’s reeling from the death of a loved one, motivated to honor his legacy, and reluctant to prioritize herself.

Enter Auden Smith: a British reporter with a calm demeanor and a life that challenges convention. Dani’s worked with him for years, but as they begin spending more time together, his open-mindedness forces her to rethink everything she thought she knew—about men, relationships, and what she truly wants.

Then there’s Declan Kruk—a billionaire who’s been sober for years. Declan has always cared too much, and he’s not idly watching Dani fall apart again. As he pushes her toward healing, their complicated past, undeniable chemistry, and Dani’s resistance to self-love make her recovery anything but smooth.

The Reporter is a raw, emotionally charged story of grief, recovery, and self-discovery. It’s about finding the courage to put yourself back together and finally asking for what you want—culminating in the sexiest birthday of Dani’s life.

To fully experience Dani’s story, start with The Townie (prequel), then read The Renter and The Client before diving into The Reporter. This is a continuous series.
