Description
One secret Vegas wedding. One tragic accident. One year of silence.
Dani Cassidy is chaos in eyeliner—a wildfire on stage and a ghost off it. One year ago, she married her brother’s best friend on a drunken Vegas dare… and the next day, a tragic car accident changed everything.
She hasn’t picked up a mic—or spoken to Ellis Foley—since.
Ellis is quiet. Steady. The kind of man who says I do and means it.
He’s also still legally her husband.
When they’re accidentally paired for a duet at Dani’s comeback festival, the chemistry is undeniable—and dangerously real. The song goes viral. The fans want more. Suddenly, they’re on tour together: dive bars, green rooms, late nights… one last chance to figure out if what happened in Vegas ever really ended.
They agree on a deadline:
By the end of the tour, they decide—stay married or let go for good.
But some love stories don’t fade out.
They live in the deep cuts.
Advance Praise
“Ellis Foley is the kind of character who quietly steals your heart. I was fully in love with him by chapter two.”
“This doesn’t read like characters on a page—it feels like real people making messy, human choices. The grief, the love, the timing… all of it felt painfully honest.”
“The emotional depth surprised me. The romance is beautiful, but it’s the way grief and creativity are intertwined that really stayed with me.”
“The chemistry between Dani and Ellis is electric, especially on stage. Their connection feels intimate, complicated, and completely believable.”
“I loved how the story handled neurodivergence with care and realism. Ellis felt seen—not explained—and that made him unforgettable.”
“This book made me ache in the best way. It’s messy, tender, and emotionally rich without ever feeling manipulative.”
Marketing Plan
Pre-Launch Strategy
I am running an ARC campaign with a dedicated advance reader team prior to publication, including romance bloggers, BookTok creators, and newsletter subscribers. Early reviewers will be encouraged to cross-post reviews to NetGalley, Goodreads, and retail platforms to build early buzz and social proof.
Promotional Channels
Promotion will focus on TikTok content built around emotional hooks, tropes, and music-industry themes, supported by direct outreach to my email list. Additional visibility will come from media coverage and newsletter features within the romance community, as well as an in-person book tour with independent romance bookstores. I will also leverage reader magnets and bonus content tied to the book’s themes to encourage engagement and reviews.
Target Audience
Deep Cuts is aimed at romance readers who love second-chance love stories, music-industry settings, and emotionally grounded characters. It will appeal strongly to fans of slow-burn romance, forced proximity, and stories that explore grief, creativity, and intimacy.
Post-Release Momentum
Following release, I will continue review outreach through NetGalley, social media call-outs, and newsletter reminders, while engaging with reviewers directly. Ongoing content will highlight reader reactions, quotes, and tropes to maintain momentum beyond launch week. Additionally, I will continue promotion through media insertions.
