Danika Brown knows what she wants: professional success, academic renown, and an occasional roll in the hay to relieve all that career-driven tension. But romance? Been there, done that, burned the T-shirt. Romantic partners, whatever their gender, are a distraction at best and a drain at worst. So Dani asks the universe for the perfect friend-with-benefits—someone who knows the score and knows their way around the bedroom.
When brooding security guard Zafir Ansari rescues Dani from a workplace fire drill gone wrong, it’s an obvious sign: PhD student Dani and ex-rugby player Zaf are destined to sleep together. But before she can explain that fact, a video of the heroic rescue goes viral. Now half the internet is shipping #DrRugbae—and Zaf is begging Dani to play along. Turns out, his sports charity for kids could really use the publicity. Lying to help children? Who on earth would refuse?
Dani’s plan is simple: fake a relationship in public, seduce Zaf behind the scenes. The trouble is, grumpy Zaf’s secretly a hopeless romantic—and he’s determined to corrupt Dani’s stone-cold realism. Before long, he’s tackling her fears into the dirt. But the former sports star has issues of his own, and the walls around his heart are as thick as his... um, thighs.
Suddenly, the easy lay Dani dreamed of is more complex than her thesis. Has her wish backfired? Is her focus being tested? Or is the universe just waiting for her to take a hint?

The Brown Sisters
The Brown Sisters
3 books in catalog
Contemporary and paranormal romantic fiction often balances high-spirited humor with deeply emotional character arcs. Talia Hibbert became a prominent voice in modern romantic comedy through her vibrant characterizations, snappy dialogue, and inclusive representations of neurodiversity and chronic illness. Her acclaimed Brown Sisters trilogy, beginning with Get a Life, Chloe Brown and continuing with Take a Hint, Dani Brown, established her reputation for blending witty banter with authentic vulnerability.
Hibbert was born in England to a mother of mixed Roma and Sierra Leonean heritage and a father of Jamaican descent. While studying at the University of Leicester—where she initially considered pursuing a career in law—she navigated chronic illness and an autism diagnosis. Facing uncertain job prospects as her university studies neared completion, she made a leap of faith into creative writing. She self-published her first novella in 2017 at age 21 from her childhood bedroom, producing a book a month during her first year as a writer to build a sustainable career before her student loan ran out.
After releasing more than ten self-published books and novellas across contemporary romance and paranormal fiction, Hibbert transitioned into a hybrid author model. Her traditional publishing debut, Get a Life, Chloe Brown, was acquired by Avon and launched her onto the New York Times, USA Today, Wall Street Journal, and Indie bestseller lists. Since then, her body of work has grown to over fifteen titles, with several books optioned for film and television adaptation. She currently resides in Nottinghamshire, England, with her childhood sweetheart and their dog, Pebbles.
Hibbert's fiction is characterized by flawed, complicated female protagonists, devoted love interests, and crackling romantic chemistry. Her narratives routinely feature diverse characters with varying life experiences, exploring themes of neurodivergence, chronic pain, self-acceptance, and emotional recovery. Whether writing contemporary romantic comedies or paranormal stories such as Mating the Huntress, she pairs sharp, humorous dialogue with tender emotional beats that give weight to her characters' personal growth.
