Everyone has daydreamed about being in a relationship with their celebrity crush, right?
Jules has spent over a decade escaping into a vivid fantasy: a life where she's confident, loved, and married to Hollywood's golden boy, Chris Jones. It's been her safe place, her secret, her maladaptive daydream.
Until she meets him.
And he recognizes her.
As fantasy crashes into reality, Jules must confront the life she's been avoiding and the version of herself she only dared to imagine. Can the love she created in her mind survive between two very real, very different people?
Maladaptive is an emotionally rich magical realism romance about mental health, identity, self-worth, and the blurry line between imagination and intimacy.
Perfect for fans of celebrity romance, neurodivergent and emotionally vulnerable characters, found family, and healing arcs.
Get your copy of Maladaptive today and step into a story where fantasy meets reality, and love finds a way through both.
