{"title":"Ivy Fairbanks","description":"Ivy Fairbanks is the author of Morbidly Yours and Heart Strings, and a shameless consumer of rom-com books, hazelnut coffee, and Hozier music. Not necessarily in that order. Living with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome has made her a believer in the importance of representation in romance. Fairbanks writes stories where realistic characters find love, acceptance, and their happily-ever-afters. She lives in the Tampa Bay area with her husband and son. At any given moment, she is probably trapped under a sleeping tabby cat.","products":[{"product_id":"heart-strings-paperback","title":"Heart Strings - Paperback","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eA sizzling exes-to-lovers second- chance romance from the author of \u003ci\u003eMorbidly Yours\u003c\/i\u003e, the \"sweet, spicy, and fabulous\" (Abby Jimenez, #1 \u003ci\u003eNew York Times \u003c\/i\u003ebestselling author) TikTok sensation\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eShe doesn't do second chances.
