Debut Novel Out Now


Steeped by
Sophie Berti

Dreams are brewing, romance is blooming…

Chloe has enough to worry about—a seriously unrequited crush and the looming dread she’s miles behind her peers just two years out of college—but tasking herself with winning the most prestigious tea brewing competition no one has ever heard of? While trying not to fall head over teapot for the charming movie star who’s putting her insecurities to the test?

Things are going to get heated.


"Deftly plotted with equal parts humor and lyricism, Sophie Berti's Steeped is a joyfully tender story about learning to yearn for the things that matter most. Brew a pot of your favorite tea, settle into a clawfoot tub, and let this book carry you away -- you won't regret a moment spent in this gorgeous novel."

— Bestselling author Rachael Herron



“Sophie Berti’s books are positively delightful, start to finish. Her charming, endearingly-flawed characters feel like dear friends, and their narratives and escapades are guaranteed to keep you turning the pages well past bedtime.

— Kelly Hudson, Author & Creativity Coach
