Overview

Lauren Bradford didn't come to town looking for love. She came to escape-fresh off a breakup, newly relocated, and trying not to cry in public when the cereal aisle gets too existential. Her plans? Stay busy, stay guarded, and definitely don't flirt with anyone who fixes things for a living. Then came Duck. Quiet, steady, and full of slow smiles, Duck is the kind of man who builds selfie stages out of pallets, brings fried chicken to first dates, and knows how to kiss without rushing a thing. He's not flashy. He's not perfect. But he shows up. And that's new. Lauren's not used to slow. Or kind. Or safe. But somewhere between Sonic shakes, flirty glances, and the case of the mysteriously missing underwear, she starts to believe in second chances-and maybe even the kind of love that lets you be exactly who you are. When Mouse Met Duck is a small-town, soft-hearted romance about awkward beginnings, hard-won joy, and what happens when two people finally feel seen.

Author Information

Kira Lorne writes the kind of stories people read in private and remember in public. Before turning to fiction, she worked behind the camera as a producer in the adult film industry-where she learned how desire behaves when no one is pretending, how intimacy fractures or deepens under pressure, and how performance differs from truth. Those years gave her a rare, unfiltered education in sexuality, vulnerability, and power-one she now channels into stories that are sensual, emotional, and disarmingly honest. Today, Kira teaches literature at the university level, guiding students through narrative, voice, longing, and the quiet architecture of human connection. By night, she writes emotionally charged romance-stories where desire functions as language, not performance. Kira lives in Branson, Missouri, by way of California, where the landscape changed but her fascination with longing, reinvention, and quiet rebellion did not. She shares her home with a deeply unimpressed cat who believes all writing intentionally takes time away from belly rubs and scratches behind his ears. Her work is known for its softness, its sharpness, and its unapologetic heat. Not explicit for the sake of shock, but intimate because her characters earn it. ""I try to write desire the way it actually happens-messy, hopeful, and real."" Contact Kira at kiralorne1@gmail.com
