The 30-Day Engagement

Emory needs a win, a promotion…and a date to her ex-fiancée’s Hollywood wedding.

Emory Jordan has been rising through the ranks of the boys’ club at a venture capital firm in New York, where she’s competing for her dream promotion. When Emory’s estranged ex-girlfriend Mari—who broke off their engagement to pursue her acting ambitions—sends her a wedding invitation, it’s the perfect opening for Emory to pitch a business deal to Mari’s new tech mogul fiancé. More importantly, it’s a chance for Emory to prove to Mari that she has moved on from their breakup. The wrench in her plans: she’s been putting work at the top of her to-do list, and there’s nobody she can ask to be her plus-one.

But Emory has a knack for business strategy. Bliss Tully, a struggling florist with a good-vibes-only attitude, accidentally stabs her with a cactus, and Emory sees an opportunity. Bliss is short on trust—her father’s white-collar crimes left her with a deep aversion to the business world—but she’s also short on cash, so she agrees to pose as Emory’s fiancée. The job is only for a month and pretending should be easy money. Right? Mari’s wedding approaches, and Emory and Bliss grow closer, all too aware their engagement is nothing more than a thirty-day sham. As far as kissing the bogus bride, though, they both want to say I do….

You are cordially invited to the fakeout in this slow-burn contemporary romance about letting go of the past—and loving your future.

“Future hopes, the delicate artistry in floral arrangements, and learning to admit to one’s shortcomings and risk new beginnings all add up to a sweet love story…. In the upbeat LGBTQ+ novel The 30-Day Engagement, a contractual romance becomes an authentic one when passions ignite.”

—Foreword Reviews

“Decker’s sapphic, opposites-attract debut has both humor and heart.”

Girl Gets Ghosted

When Charlize—Charlie—clicks the wrong link in a dating app, she gets more than she bargained for in this lesbian romance novella with a supernatural twist.

Charlie has been waiting for Ms. Right Now to find her while she sits at home on the couch. An app called Disaster Date appeals to her sense of irony—and fulfills half its promise when she matches with another woman who likes pizza on her first try. That might not be enough for a true connection, but Charlie is excited to meet up and see if there’s more to her than a dating profile. Unfortunately, Charlie’s date doesn’t show up, but she’s haunted by who does: a ghost named Noa.

Noa doesn’t remember her past, and Charlie knows they don’t have a present, yet it’s hard to deny their attraction. Is there a way to exorcise the distance between them? It turns out that getting ghosted can be pretty sweet….
