Author Discussion + Signing Event: Nicole Cubba, Betty Corrello, and Linny Mack
Featured Book
Lost in Love
Would you sacrifice everything for a second chance?
Oliver Beauford-Taylor has asked himself this more times than he can count. On the outside, his life is perfect. A lovely flat in London. Supportive friends. A hefty inheritance. The one thing he covets—a life with Amy Callagan—is the only thing he cannot have. Not without costing those he loves everything.
For two years, Amy Callagan has held out hope that Oliver may return to her one day. But after reading too far into a drunken invite to his sister’s destination wedding, Amy is struck with the realization he will never choose her. Determined to move on, she agrees to be his plus-one, vowing to find closure in the Peruvian Amazon.
Turns out, years of history, guarded secrets, and a shared hotel room make for a challenging vacation. Especially when a do-over isn’t on their itinerary—not with inheritances, reputations, and hearts at stake.
But between rainforest hikes, cruises down the Amazon River, and quiet moments where their long-lost dreams reside, their unresolved feelings reach a tipping point. And when it’s time to let Amy go, Oliver is faced with an impossible choice: set his heart’s desire aside or choose love and potentially lose his family forever.

ABOUT THE CONVERSATION PARTNERS:
Betty Corrello:
Betty Corrello is an incredibly beautiful and normal woman and the author of contemporary and paranormal romances. Despite her hardened exterior, she is biologically 95% marshmallow. Her greatest passion is writing stories where opposites attract, but love is chosen. When she's not writing, she can be found fretting about niche historical events most have forgotten––or petting her very tiny dog. In addition to writing books, she previously performed stand-up and sit-down comedy all over the east coast. She calls herself a stand-up comedian to avoid bullying, but she is actually an improv nerd. She does not like The Harold. She is Italian and American and spent time growing up in both countries. In addition to many other troubling things, Betty is a proud Philadelphian.
Go Birds.
Linny Mack:
Growing up, Linny Mack spent countless hours devouring books, writing stories, and dreaming up happily-ever-afters. Today, she is an author of swoony and suspenseful romance. Her stories blend emotional depth, hope, suspense, and unforgettable romance, earning a loyal readership of readers who believe the best love stories stay with you long after the final page. She lives in southern New Jersey with her husband and their three children.

About the Venue
Cupid's Bookshop
Cupid’s is more than a bookstore, it’s a judgment‑free zone where diverse love stories are celebrated openly. Tina envisioned a store where readers don’t have to hide their favorite tropes—be it aliens, faeries, dragons, or adventure romances—and where workshops, midnight release parties, and author signings are part of the romance culture. Community is at our core. We host monthly book clubs spanning romantasy, contemporary romance, dark romance, and LGBTQ+ titles—each one a welcoming space for readers to gush, cry, debate tropes, and bond over their favorite book boyfriends (and girlfriends, and morally gray magical beings). Whether you're new to romance or a lifelong lover of the genre, our book clubs are designed to make you feel seen, heard, and completely at home.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Her touch kills, his saves the dying. Are they fated, or forbidden? Tempest Dunlap loves romance novels, but she knows she’ll never have her own happily-ever-after. She is a sweatpants-wearing doula who homeschools her seven-year-old niece in suburban New Jersey. Unfortunately, she’s also a succubus: Every man she’s ever kissed has died. But Tempest is a good person who never intended to be a murderer, so she’s sworn off love forever. Then she meets Joel Tav, a gorgeous, gentle doctor who makes celibacy feel impossible. Tempest knows she can’t touch him—or tell him his brother was the last man she dated and accidentally killed. Meanwhile, a vigilante is hunting people with dark powers, and Tempest is next. Should she keep hiding in her safe, lonely life, or should she embrace the darkness she fears and risk the ultimate forbidden romance? Maybe Tempest will get her love story after all . . . or maybe she’ll become its villain. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: KATE FOX lives with her husband, daughters, and two fluffy cats in an old house in an old town in the universally admired state of New Jersey, where she looks for magic in mundane places. Her favorite trope is enemies to lovers, as long as they're really enemies.
