Contemporary romance authors, I'm calling you out.
Why are all of your FMCs "do no wrong" characters and the MMCs are the corrupt alphas?
I'm so tired of "perfect" female characters whose only flaw is that they drink or don't make their bed in the morning.
That's why my most recent release, Having Baby #4 by My Brother’s Best Friend For Extra Food Stamps is a chant to the corrupt women of the world.
Romance novels doesn't automatically mean the man is corrupt.
Women can be just as much!
Warning, spoilers ahead.
In my new release, Having Baby #4 by My Brother’s Best Friend For Extra Food Stamps, Lila-May wants to secure her future a totally different way.
How? By trapping her brother's best friend into having a baby with her.
And not just one baby.
This woman is eighteen years old at is working on baby #4 with her brother's best friend.
Throughout the book, she keeps telling herself that he loves her, and if he didn't he wouldn't continue to knock her up with babies.
But is it really him knocking her up, or is it more that she's trapping him?
There's even a scene where she sobs in his lap, telling him that a baby would fix everything between them...
That Gray wants this as much as she does.
She already knows that her fourth baby would mean more money in food stamps and more tax deductions.
Gray is also working two jobs while going to school to make ends meet for the both of them and childcare for all of the kids.
But when Lila finds out her best friend is pregnant as well with her brother's best friend Gray, things turn for the worst.
End of spoilers
So contemporary romance authors, when will you stop making perfect heroines?
I've gone to the dark side: corrupt FMCs, and I don't want to go back.

Blurb
They say every girl makes mistakes in college, but I’m no ordinary freshman.
I’m eighteen, a mom of three, and I’ve learned how to survive by playing the system—and the people around me.
Gray, my brother’s best friend, has been my safety net for years. He’s the father of my kids and the guy I can always count on, whether it’s late-night diaper runs or filling out extra paperwork to bump up my food stamps.
He doesn’t ask questions, and I don’t give answers.
I love him for the things he doesn’t know—like how I get a thrill from using him. From twisting the rules. From filing taxes under his name and watching the numbers climb in my favor.
I don’t need love; I need control.
Willow, my best friend, calls me toxic. She says I should leave Gray, stop having kids, and finally grow up. She’s always preaching about self-respect and “getting my life together.” But then I find out her little moral high ground isn’t so steady—because she’s carrying Gray’s baby, too.
Everything starts to unravel. My dad gives me an ultimatum: move in with him, go to school online, and stop dragging everyone else down—or he’ll cut me off completely.
I should feel guilty, but I don’t. I crave the chaos, the power, the way I can bend everything to my will. The only problem? Gray’s starting to see the cracks in my game, and if I don’t figure out my next move fast, I might lose him, my kids, and the thrill I live for.
Loving someone was never part of the plan. But what happens when the one person I’ve been using is the only one I can’t let go of?
