Pinch me! I got to welcome back one of my absolute favorites, Tia Williams! We reunited to celebrate her latest novel, The Missed Connection, a steamy summer romance guaranteed to turn up the heat.

Filled with chance encounters, heart, chemistry, and just the right touch of mystery, this novel delivers all the signature elements readers have come to love from Tia. We caught up about her writing process, book-to-screen adaptations, beauty products, and so much more.

And if you haven't explored Tia's backlist yet, consider this your sign. Her catalog is a beach reader's dream and the perfect summer spritz - light, refreshing, and impossible to stop sipping before diving into The Missed Connection.
