FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Award-Winning Author Kate Sweden Launches Witty and Steamy Rom-Com Wrecked By You

Palatka, FL – September 10, 2025 – Indie romance author Kate Sweden is turning up the heat this fall with the release of Wrecked By You, the first book in her brand-new Wilder Horizons series. Combining sharp banter, emotional chaos, and sizzling chemistry, the novel delivers a laugh-out-loud, slow-burn romance set against the dramatic backdrop of the Scottish Highlands.

Wrecked By You introduces readers to Rayann Wilder, a chaos-loving sales director determined to save her family’s luxury travel company, and Max Harrington, a former Navy SEAL turned control-freak security officer. When the two are forced to work together on a high-profile assignment in Scotland, sparks fly—and not just the romantic kind. Between castle corridors, Highland storms, and an unforgettable closet scene, readers can expect fireworks, both emotional and steamy.

“Romance should make you laugh, ache, and swoon in equal measure,” says Sweden. “Rayann and Max are both strong, whip-smart characters who clash at every turn, but beneath the chaos is a story about trust, healing, and the terrifying risk of falling in love.”

Packed with enemies-to-lovers tension, forced proximity hijinks, and characters who can actually outwit each other, Wrecked By You offers readers a rom-com that refuses to play it safe.
