Here is the Partner Pursuit blurb:
Workaholic lawyer Audrey Willems is not going to take any chances with her bid to become a partner at her New York law firm—especially with only six months until the decision.
Until she bumps into Jake—her new neighbor. Jake is a fun-loving music marketing executive who might just be The One.
He’s funny, caring, supportive—and able to kill water bugs in the bathroom.
But Jake will never date a woman married to her job. His father was a workaholic lawyer who never had time for family.
And she’s just got the case of a lifetime—the one she needs to win to make partner. Working 24/7 at the office may not even be enough hours to pull off a victory.
If only she had not met him now.
Audrey is determined to prove that she can juggle work and romance—even if managing court cases, candlelit dinners, and bike rides around Manhattan is a lot harder than it looks. She keeps canceling dates for yet another case crisis.
But when making partner is like a game of musical chairs and the last seat is a business-class alone, which partnership will she choose?
Partner Pursuit Reviews
“I thought I knew what to expect when I started to read this story, but after reading the last chapter, I was glad I got so much than expected!
I loved reading this beautiful story about lovely people, I laughed several times, discovered a shared fear of water bugs (where is my own superhero Jake?) and I admired the courage our main characters showed when they did follow their hearts and instincts and didn’t just go with the flow …
A truly heart-warming story that left me with a warm feeling inside I didn’t want to get rid of!”
Tizi’s Book Review“Partner Pursuit is a fun and cute romantic story, with well-written and strong main characters. I love that Kathy Strobos has written so passionately about the real-life struggles we can all face of managing a work/life balance, and being career-focused but still wanting to be happy in a relationship. For me, Partner Pursuit was a must-read.”

Cover Reveal: Caper Crush
I’m so excited to reveal my cover for my third book in the New York Friendship series: Caper Crush.
Each book can be read as a standalone, but they are set in the same world with a warm group of friends. It’s available for pre-order now and will release on July 14 in ebook. Paperback copies will be available in early July.
Caper Crush cover Blurb
Here’s the blurb:
A feel-good, opposites-attract, slow burn romantic comedy
Some weasel stole my painting! The one I need for the career-defining Vertex Art Exhibit. This upcoming art show is my chance to finally be recognized as an artist—after ten years of waitressing and being asked if I still have that “lovely painting hobby.”
I have mere weeks to find my painting or lose my artist dream forever—but it’s going to mean working with William.
William Haruki Matsumura. Good-looking, if you like the Secret Service type. You know, law-abiding, protector of women and children. That’s all fine, but I can never tell what he’s thinking. Which drives me crazy.
He insists on coming along to do “damage control.” As if “accidentally” wandering into certain areas is “breaking and entering.” I may be an emotional artist, but William shouldn’t dismiss my investigative skills yet.
William is definitely my opposite, and, if there’s one takeaway from my parents’ divorce, it’s that opposites might attract, but it doesn’t last. But detecting with William is kind of fun—and fluttery. I definitely can’t trust these feelings, or can I? However this caper ends, I think this may be more than a crush.
Cover Brief
I love working with my cover designer Lucy of Cover Ever After. I said that I wanted a fire escape because there is one scene involving a fire escape, and I sent her pictures of New York City fire escapes. Also, I noted that Miranda is an artist and William is an accountant, and, as usual, it’s opposites attract. Plus, I noted that the book has a caper feel as they try to track down who stole the paintings. And she created the magic that is my cover.
