Elizabeth Everett lives in upstate New York with her family. She likes going for long walks or (very) short runs to nearby sites that figure prominently in the history of civil rights and women's suffrage. A Lady's Formula for Love is her first novel, inspired by her admiration for rule breakers and belief in the power of love to change the world.

Marry Me by Midnight (2023) (Once Upon the East End, book 1) Felicia Grossman "Grossman brings us a delicious romance set like a jewel amid rich history, smart writing, and universal themes in this deeply satisfying novel. It delighted me on so many levels and with its unique take on fairy tale retellings may even become canon in the genre."
Ana Maria and The Fox (2023) (Luna Sisters, book 1) Liana De la Rosa "With plenty of humour, history and, of course, spicy love scenes, Ana Maria and the Fox, is an absolute must-read for fans of historical romance."
Luck and Last Resorts (2022) Sarah Grunder Ruiz "You need to pay careful attention when you read Luck and Last Resorts. On the surface it's a tangle of second-chance and friends-to-lovers between two beautiful people set on a yacht. Beneath this, however, lies an aching and poignant examination of the choices we make - or refuse to make - as we enter our thirties and decide what parts of ourselves we will carry on into the next stage in life. Grunder Ruiz has honed her writing and it is so smart you almost miss the skill. This is a deeply satisfying romance at the same time it's a compelling novel about the reality of "starting over" and the tenacity of love in the face of a person's obvious flaws. People may not be perfect, but this is a perfect romance."
Kit McBride Gets a Wife (2022) (McBrides of Montana, book 1) Amy Barry "A sweet, laugh-out-loud romantic comedy set in the wilds of Montana, Kit McBride Gets a Wife will have readers smiling from ear to ear and set their hearts all aflutter. Maddy Mooney is a plucky, endearing heroine, and Kit McBride is the ideal frontiersman hero. With a cast of delightful secondary characters, including the irrepressible younger sister, Junebug, this charming romance is guaranteed a place on your keeper shelf."

The Love Hypothesis (2021) (Love Hypothesis, book 1) Ali Hazelwood "A beautifully written romantic comedy with a heroine you will instantly fall in love with, The Love Hypothesis is destined to earn a place on your keeper shelf."
