#24: How Tessa Bailey Keeps Her Writing Fresh After 69 Books

From steamy banter to loveable blue-collar heroes, Tessa Bailey sits down with Morgann to talk about how she keeps her writing fresh across dozens of bestselling novels, why she gravitates toward opposites-attract love stories, and how she balances heart, humour, and heat. We talk TikTok's impact on romance publishing, dialling back the dirty talk (sometimes), and the unexpected research that went into Pitcher Perfect.


Plus — we surprise Tessa at the end 👀
