About The Book
Perfect for fans of Colleen Hoover and Paige Toon, this suspenseful new adult romance follows an eighteen-year-old woman reeling from loss as she’s drawn into an unexpected attraction—one that might expose the secrets she’s tried to bury.
Seven months after her boyfriend and parents die tragically on the same night, eighteen-year-old Brynn—once an aspiring singer, now desperate for any paying gig that will keep her from ending up on the streets—sets out to rebuild her shattered world. At her new ad agency job, she’s distracted by enigmatic twenty-year-old Micah. Their enemies-to-lovers attraction ignites as both struggle with secrets that could jeopardize far more than just their budding relationship.
After things turn romantic with Brynn, Micah’s psychosis becomes harder to conceal. Living with his disorder has cost him relationships before, including with his estranged father; now he fears Brynn will become the next casualty.
Things are already complicated enough before a mystery girl from Brynn’s boyfriend’s past comes forward with threatening information and unfinished business of her own. Will she reveal Brynn’s secret—and steal Micah away from her in the process?

Raves and Reviews
“Part grief narrative, part workplace drama, and part love story, the novel compellingly examines how loss, ambition, and mental health intersect and questions how one can move on in love when a traumatic past is still being reckoned with.”—Kirkus Reviews
“The Sooner I Go is suspenseful, the kind of novel that is filled with mystery, skillfully examining the stigma of mental health, economic struggles, and false identity. The dialogue is delivered with wit, and the writing shines with terrific descriptions, making this story a breezy read.”—Readers' Favorite, 5-star review
“A steamy romance wrapped up in a who done it—the tension is HOT.”—Christine Stringer, author of Charity Trickett is Not So Glamorous
“Cumiskey shows us why it’s never a safe bet to take people and circumstances at face value. Romance combines with intrigue in this plotline that's refreshingly far from a formula romance.”—Shelley Grandy, author of Devious Web
“A layered, original, and engaging read you won't want to put down.”—Amy Blumenfeld, author of Such Good People
