The Love Frequency: A Novel

Two rival radio hosts. One fake relationship. And a microphone that captures every heartbeat.

Maya Hart is the voice of hope. As the host of Heartbeats, she spends her nights spinning poetry and telling the lonely listeners of Columbus that true love is just around the corner. She is sunshine, optimism, and an unapologetic romantic.

Silas Vance is the voice of reason. As the host of The Realist, he spends his nights telling callers to delete their ex’s number and that love is nothing more than a chemical defect. He is grumpy, cynical, and dangerously handsome in a way that annoys Maya to no end.

For three years, they have been the station’s perfect enemies, arguing through the glass of their soundproof booths. But when management threatens to cancel both their shows, they are forced into a desperate rebrand: The Love Frequency.

The gimmick? They have to co-host. The twist? To save the ratings, they have to convince the world they’ve fallen in love.

It starts with a contract. Rule #1: No real names in public. Rule #2: Hand-holding is for the cameras only. Rule #3: Absolutely no kissing in private.

But as the 'fake' dates turn into late-night confessionals, and the on-air arguments turn into breathless friction, the static between them clears. When a feverish night, a jealous ex, and a one-bed hotel room disaster blur the lines, Maya and Silas realize that the only thing harder than faking a romance... is hiding a real one.

Perfect for fans of The Hating Game and Beach Read, this spicy, banter-filled rom-com explores what happens when the person you can’t stand becomes the only signal you can’t tune out.
