Losing Sight ( coming February 11, 2025)
What if a mysterious pair of glasses helped you to see life—and love—clearly?
Sports reporter Tanika “Nikki” Ryan is at the top of her game until she isn’t. Squinting at the teleprompter and flubbing lines, she loses her coveted Thursday Night football spot to a younger, less qualified woman—and that’s only the start of her troubles. After her impaired sight leads to an accident nearly costing her life, Tanika finds herself in the office of handsome widowed optometrist Gideon Miles. There, mysterious circumstances lead Tanika to an enchanted pair of glasses, changing her world—and Gideon’s—forever. With help from her “boss chick village” and a bit of magic, Tanika finally learns to see the love that’s right in front of her eyes.
In this high-heat and hilarious rom-com that harkens to the golden age of Black romance, celebrated novelist Tati Richardson proves life is sweeter after age forty, and gives readers of all ages a reason to believe in second chances.

International Women’s Day Post on Harlequin.com
I was honored when the marketing team at Harlequin asked that I write a piece for International Women’s Day about romance to tie into my debut. I talked about how powerful romance is and how reading romance literally saved my life. I’ve talked often about my depression and post-partum depression and how writing/reading romance brought me back from the brink. THis is just may way to show love to those writers who did that.
