Available in EPUB and MOBI formats. Read on your Kindle, phone, tablet, computer and more

Mara Jensen’s life is... fine. She's juggling solo parenting, late-night work emails, and a suspicious rash from a mindfulness app trial. Fine, exhausting, and utterly unremarkable. So when a mysterious woman in linen offers her a one-week escape into an alternate version of her life—where she made better choices, drinks hot coffee, and maybe nailed that bookstore meet-cute—Mara says yes before asking what the catch is. Now she has a thriving business, a well-rested child, and a charming bookseller boyfriend who swears they’ve been dating for months. Only one problem: this version of her life already has a Mara. And the original isn’t giving it up without a fight. Borrowing a Better Mara is a cozy, clean romcom about burnout, identity, and falling for the version of yourself you never thought you could be. Perfect for fans of The Flatshare, Midnight at the Blackbird Café, and rom-coms with a magical twist. 60 pages Reviews expected by June 25 Note: This is an ARC copy.
