Summary

It would be crazy to do an episode about romance without an ACTUAL #1 NYT Bestselling romance author: Our fourth Maher sister today is a certified Renaissance woman who is as skilled with a frosting tip as she is with a Friends-to-Lovers trope. She owns three bakeries, and her books have sold over 1.5 million copies worldwide. She has a knack for writing stories that make you laugh right before they make you cry. Her latest, Say You'll Remember Me, shot straight to #1, and she’s here to talk about writing romance that feels as real and satisfying as the perfect cupcake.
