BOOK 1 OF JOSIE BROWN'S LATEST 3-NOVEL EPISODIC SERIES Audrey Thorpes's dirty little secret will soon be the downfall of everyone and everything she holds dear: love, family, friends, and her high school alma mater.​ It's your child's senior year. A private prep school's reputation is at stake. A math teacher refuses to grade his final exams on a curve. Students have only one more shot at the SAT before college applications are due. And a few desperate parents have much more money than brains. In Extracurricular, new lust, old loves, a dark family secret, and rich crazy parents behaving badly lead to a college admissions cheating scandal, setting off a crisis of conscience for the parents, teachers, administrator, and the students involved — And a catharsis for one couple about their marriage. NOTE TO READERS: As with all episodic novel series, Books 1 and 2 end in cliffhangers and all plot threads are resolved in Book 3 PRAISE FOR EXTRACURRICULAR - BOOK 1 “Josie Brown brings it, in this ripped-from-the-headlines romp of a novel set in the world of academia and its shadow world – extracurricular activities that may not be legal. It has romance and intrigue, and a pace that doesn’t let up. Highly entertaining. Sure to delight Brown’s legions of fans.” —Eileen Goudge, author, Garden of Lies and The Diary "Sharp, smart, and sexy, Brown's timely new series about the cut-throat world of college admissions is a must-read. As always, Brown's cast of characters are a delicious mix of sweethearts, scoundrels and the just plain morally corrupt. Never predictable, Extracurricular is thoroughly readable and immensely enjoyable." —Meredith Schorr, author of The Boyfriend Swap and the Blogger Girl series "Delicious, hilarious, and addictive, Extracurricular has all the hallmarks of a classic Josie Brown book: fleshed-out, juicy characters, a to-die-for plot, and a ripped-from-the headlines premise. I absolutely loved it and must read the entire series!" —Samantha M. Bailey, Woman on the Edge "Master storyteller of the competitively elite, Totlandia’s Josie Brown graduates from strollers and playgroups to the high stakes game of college admissions in this captivating tale of trickery, deceit, and unrequited love. Told across three episodic novels, in Book 1, meet the movers, the shakers, and the dirty-deal makers that, together, establish a page-turning premise to carry us forward: It’s the tiny twists of fate that change us. A++ for Extracurricular!" —Julie Valerie, author of Holly Banks Full of Angst and the Village of Primm series “Josie Brown has hit it out of the ballpark with this timely tale of family, friends, love and the morally corrupt. As always, Ms. Brown’s writing is sharp, smart, and oh-so witty. She’ll have you laughing out loud one minute and cringing the next at her characters’ antics and comments. Filled with twist and turns and complicated emotions that lead to decisions that play pivotal moments in the characters lives, this story will reach out and grab your attention from page one and not let go until the end. I now sit on tenterhooks awaiting the next release to find out who will be going down and who will be saved.” —Gail Chianese, author, Love Runs Deep and A Navy Homecoming “The characters were well-drawn, the story line was great, and a few unexpected twists throughout made it a fun read… I can’t wait to get my hands on the next book and see what happens.” — Reading Mom.Me

When life comes apart at the seams, love is the only thread that can mend it Accountant Rob Macomb has a stable job that he's good at and... that's about it. A year of nothing but heartache leaves him seeking refuge from loneliness and grief behind spreadsheets, punishing daily runs, and the occasional anonymous tryst. He wants only to bury the past and focus on his career, but he has one last task to complete: pack up his parent's quaint beachside house and put it on the market. Alex Andrews is a budding artist with a penchant for Converse, Cracker Jack, and piercings. Family turmoil sidelines his dreams of finishing art school and building a career in three-dimensional design, and now he's doing whatever he can to keep everyone afloat. When Alex shows up as a part of the moving crew hired to help Rob clean out the house, what should be a simple move becomes far more complex. Because it's not the first time they've met, and their last encounter was memorable for all the wrong reasons. The attraction between them is undeniable and intense, but Rob's hell-bent on pushing everyone away, and Alex is on the verge of spinning out of control. Can a grumpy accountant and a bootstrapping artist find their center of gravity together, or are they on a collision course to heartbreak? An emotionally-charged, slow burn m/m romance featuring an age gap, hurt/comfort themes, and a hard-won happily ever after. This is the standalone first in the Nook Island, Georgia series.

The first 3 books in the All the Little Things African American Romance Series. Spanning over a period of six years, from high school sweethearts to learning what it means to be in love and a relationship as broken young adults. Read Rafael and Akilah's complete 3 part love story. All the Little Things After fleeing Miami for a new start, Akilah was the last thing 19-year-old Rafael needed. She was everything he avoided in the past with girls. Opinionated. Assertive. Shrewd. Too curious for her own good. Bold. Daring. The type you didn't want involved when you were running and had something to hide. He fell for her anyway. There are a lot of big reasons that Rafael shouldn't be with Akilah. There are a lot of big reasons why he can't be with her. But shouldn't and can't aren't in her vocabulary. And there are a lot of other reasons, little things really, that Rafael should be with her that outweigh the big things. But when his past, his abuser, the reason he lived on the streets for three years, the reason he can never go back home, the biggest reason he shouldn't get involved with Akilah, comes knocking on the door, Rafael has a choice to make. Confront it. Or lose Akilah forever. All the Uncertain Things Rafael and Akilah had it all figured out. Graduate high school, go to college, and, for Rafael, after a year of struggling with mental health issues and recovering from sexual abuse that happened to him as a teen, trying to be better and more attentive to Akilah. Akilah getting pregnant just before they graduated high school wasn't part of that plan. Now, Rafael has to grapple with his mixed emotions about it. He didn't want kids, but Akilah's keeping the baby whether he wants her to or not, and he sure as hell doesn't want to be like the dad who left him before he could really remember him. At the same time, he's terrified if he stays, he'll turn into the stepdad that abused him and his mother. Considering his history and the bad examples he's had for male role models his whole life, Rafael's not sure he can do it. And given that he keeps messing up and even Akilah seems to doubt that he can be what she and their baby need for him to be, he's uncertain he should even try. Maybe his dad did have a good reason for leaving Rafael and his mom behind, and maybe that same reason is good enough for Rafael to do the same to Akilah so he's gone before he can even give their kid even a vague memory of him. All the Hidden Things After a tumultuous first few years together, Rafael's relationship with Akilah is finally stable. They're both only months from graduation, Akilah's getting ready for law school, and Rafael... He's really not sure what he wants to do with the rest of his life. But he'll figure it out. Then an old sex video of Rafael ends up online for the world to see and there goes stability. With his silence doing more damage than the actual video, and his reputation and professional future on the line, Rafael decides the best way to undo the damage is to be completely truthful about the traumatic and violent past he's tried to keep hidden. He expected some backlash from his decision not to be the silent victim anymore. What he didn't expect was Akilah's own hidden past and damning indiscretions to be exposed and used against her. Nor did he expect it to go viral. Now Rafael has to decide if defending himself is worth the cost of Akilah's future and, possibly, their relationship or if he should just close his mouth and hope everything blows over. But it might be too late to stop. And even if it wasn't, Rafael's not sure he wants to. Either way, he hopes Akilah will forgive him.
