Alexa Martin

Better than Fiction, published in 2022, hands a Denver bookshop to a woman who does not read. Drew Young inherits her grandmother's store, the Book Nook, complete with a resident book club of older members who will not stop meddling, and a visiting novelist called Jasper Williams sets her a reading list. Alexa Martin spent eight years as an NFL wife, married to Derrick Martin, whom she met at their Colorado high school, and a blog she kept for family in those years became her first novel, Intercepted, in 2018. It opened the Playbook series.
