After things got serious, Chase made it look like he cheated on her and he broke up with now. Maddie and Chase are two completely different people who dated once for six months. The author delivered on all the fun tropes-enemies to lovers, fake fiancé, etc-and I’m sorry but I could see myself rereading this one.

What ensues is a chain of events that detonates Maddie’s life-and when Chase’s walls come down, they both are forced to face reality. So even though he’s the man who broke her heart, playing his fiancée shouldn’t be hard, especially if it means she gets to watch the arrogant devil squirm a bit. ![]() But he only wants to fulfill his father’s last wish.

That book series was amazing, and a once-in-a-lifetime thing. I knew that I had a little more room to take a big swing and write what I wanted to write, and go where the wind was blowing me. The success of Red Queen is what gave me the opportunity to write something like Realm Breaker. Has the success of your first series made the prospect of launching a new one easier, or more daunting? So I got really lucky and didn’t have a book come out during the height of the pandemic. We planned several years ago for 2020 to be my year off from publishing a book because I wanted to have as much time as possible with Realm Breaker, to give it the best ramp I could and make sure that it was as strong as possible.
