The Series

Love, Manufactured

A darkly funny, slow-burn sci-fi romance series where the perfect partner is built to order — and falling for them was never part of the plan.

Interconnected standalones that start like Bridget Jones's Diary, get weird like The Fifth Element, and end like Fight Club — with better romance than all three.

The series

Three interconnected standalones you can read in any order — though most readers start with GROW. Every format, every retailer, all in one place.

GROW

(Your Own Boyfriend)

One drunk night. One impulsive click. One synthetic man on her doorstep. In 2390, K8 orders a cloned lover kit — and gets James, a sharp-tongued entrepreneur from 2035 with zero interest in being anyone's customizable sweetheart. A delightfully absurd, slow-burn dystopian romance.

Book 3 — Pre-order

ManuMate

Sable has three rules: fix the body, maintain control, never fall in love. Then she's assigned Alex — a reincarnate pulled from an illegal fighting ring, dying again, and refusing to be saved. Darkly funny, fast-burn, and emotionally unhinged in the best way.

The author

Hi, I'm Jennifer.

Jennifer M. Waldrop writes stories that explore the human experience — searching for clarity in the chaos, meaning in the unexpected, and connection through the characters we come to love. Her work spans from lush fantasy romance to quirky speculative fiction, all rooted in emotional truth, hidden layers, and a touch of the unexpected.

When she's not writing, you might find her whipping together her favorite dark chocolate mousse, lost in the minutia of one of her Excel spreadsheets, or power walking the beach near her home in Miami.
