Star-crossed lovers learn that practicing romance leads to the perfect happy ending in this steamy reimagining of Shakespeare’s _Twelfth Night_.

Since heartbreak entered the scene, Juliet Wilmot, once a hopeless romantic, has sworn off love. But when she’s presented with the chance to revisit romance—purely for practice—with the gorgeous, off-limits guy she keeps serendipitously running into, it feels like a sign from the universe.

Quiet, shy Will Orsino knows happily-ever-after isn’t on his horizon. Problem is, for the sake of the family business, marriage is. Resigned to the inevitable, but with no confidence he can woo a wife, he can hardly say no when fate hands him the alluring, unattainable woman he keeps crossing paths with, offering to help him learn the ropes of romance.

Neither of them looking for love, Jules and Will agree they’re the perfect pair to practice romance. Except that practicing to perfection leads to an irresistible attraction. Their once smitten hearts, though still twice shy, might have happily-ever-after written in the stars for them, after all.

ad \| Dating in real life can be a lot more intimidating than it is in a novel—especially when you’re disabled and have to worry about ableism and accessibility. That’s where Dateability comes in! Dateability is a free dating app built specifically with disabled and chronically ill people in mind.

Dateability was founded by sisters Jacqueline and Alexa to be an inclusive alternative to mainstream dating apps after Jacqueline experienced discrimination on dating apps due to her chronic illness and disability. I especially love the Disability Deets section on your profile that lets you add details about your disabilities or access needs if you want to. It’s so clear that this app was built FOR disabled people, and with love for our community, and helps alleviate a lot of potential anxieties around dating while disabled 🩷

[Hello and welcome to my Bindery! One of the things I am most excited to bring you are monthly round ups of upcoming book releases with disability, chronic illness, and mental illness representation. Disability representation has always been at the heart of my platform, and I thought this would be a great way to get these books onto people's radar.\\
\\
In the future, each round up will come at the end of the month, and will let you know about every book with disability representation that will release in the coming month (or at least all of them I can find! I spent hours scouring for releases, but I'm sure I won't always manage to catch every single one). This first one is a _little_ different, since I didn't want to leave out all of the amazing January releases!\\
