Joya Goffney grew up in New Waverly, a small town in East Texas. In high school, she challenged herself with to-do lists full of risk-taking items like ‘hug a random boy’ and ‘eat a cricket,’ which inspired her debut novel. With a passion for black social psychology, she moved out of the countryside to attend the University of Texas in Austin, where she still resides.

"A Black romance set in a Black-owned bookstore at Christmas time--yes please! The chemistry was palpable. The pacing kept me turning pages all night. And the story has stayed with me long after putting it down--the perfect gift for Black girls who crave a screen-worthy holiday romance."
