HE FALLS HARDER

SHE FALLS FIRST

REFORMED PLAYER

BASEBALL ROMANCE

Emmy Fuller’s dream of a fairytale romance is put on hold after health issues force her off the cheer squad. Struggling to adjust, she moves in with her childhood friend—who happens to be co-captain to the one guy she can’t stop thinking about. 

Hayes Grecco, Dayton’s star shortstop, seems to have it all, but after a night of bad decisions, he ends up with academic probation, a team suspension, and a bewildered Emmy left wondering if their connection was real.

MEET KI,

Hi, I’m Ki Stephens! I’m a romance writer who finds comfort in the happily-ever-after. . . with just a little bit of angst along the way. I have a special interest in works that include neurodivergent characters like myself. When I’m not daydreaming about books, I like to listen to my favorite songs on repeat, rewatch early 2000s films, and spend loads of time with my family.

I released my debut novel, SPRING TIDE, in December 2022.
