The Love Lyric cover reveal!

*with an update!!!*

Hi everyone,

**I’m sorry for the double email but it was driving me a little nuts that I forgot to credit Lila Selle, who illustrated and designed this cover! Lila also did the covers for The Neighbor Favor and The Partner Plot, and I’m super grateful that Lila and my publishing team have always let me be collaborative during the cover creation process. Okay, I just needed to add that lol.**

I’m so so so excited to share the cover for my next book, THE LOVE LYRIC! If you’ve read The Neighbor Favor and/or The Partner Plot, then you’ll remember Lily and Violet’s oldest sister, Iris. THE LOVE LYRIC is Iris’s (and Angel’s) story!

THE LOVE LYRIC goes on sale February 4, 2025 and is currently available for preorder! The cover and official description are below!

An R&B singer and a corporate executive find love that hits the right notes in this romance by Kristina Forest, USA Today bestselling author of The Partner Plot.

Iris Greene used to be a woman with a plan. But all of that changed after she met the love of her life at twenty-four, got pregnant and married…and then became a widow and a single mother all within the span of a year and a half. Now, after years of hustling, Iris is the director of partnerships at a beauty company and raising spunky six-year-old Calla by herself. Despite her busy life, she still can’t help but feel lonely. She just needs to catch her breath—and one night, at her sister’s wedding, when she steps outside to do just that, she sees a certain singer who takes her breath away. . . .

By all accounts, pop R&B singer Angel Harrison has it made. He’s a successful musician and has just scored a brand ambassador deal with an emerging beauty company. But he’s still not fulfilled; he’s not producing songs he’s passionate about, and there’s a gaping hole in his love life. When he visits the Save Face Beauty office to kickstart his campaign, he’s delighted to see Iris, his stylist’s sister—the beautiful woman he’s secretly had a crush on for years.

Despite their obvious attraction to each other, they must stay professional throughout the campaign tour—which doesn’t quite pan out. But when it becomes clear their lives aren’t in sync, can they fall back in step to the same rhythm and beat?

Iris and Angel are my favorite couple that I’ve written to date, and of all the characters I’ve written thus far, I really do think that Iris Greene deserves an HEA the most, and I really tried my best to create the best, most fulfilling story for her. I hope you all will love this story as much as I do. I can’t believe we’re already at the last Greene sister’s book!! It feels like just yesterday that I started writing The Neighbor Favor.

I’m so excited to continue to talk more about this book in the coming months and I will be back soon with a regular newsletter, featuring the books I’ve read and enjoyed so far this year. Until then, I hope everyone is enjoying summer!

xo, Kristina
