About:

Author headshotFor as long as I can remember, I have devoured books. I would sneak them inside my school text books so that it would look like I was working, but I was totally reading. Sorry, Mr. Thompson.
My first love was epic fantasy, stories with dragons and sword fights, and a devious mage working against the hero. Not much romance in those types of books, but that was all I knew.
Then I found romance books, and there was just no turning back. I consumed them like a black hole of happily ever afters. It wasn’t until April of 2020 that I even considered writing my own book, but quarantine gave me the opportunity to step outside my box, and now there is no turning back.
I am so glad you’ve taken a chance on my books. I have so many stories coming your way, and I can’t wait to share them with you.

The Cowboy and The Bombshell: Opposites Attract Book One

So, when she finds herself pitted against the CEO’s dreadful son-in-law for a promotion that she deserves, Penelope is determined that no amount of nepotism is going to keep her from landing her dream job.
The one thing she didn’t count on was a handsome, grumpy Cowboy that keeps putting his boots all up in her business.

Stone knows better than anyone that working in the family business is a challenge on many levels.
And that’s even more true when your family isn’t really yours.
He has had to work twice as hard to prove he belongs.
So Stone isn’t about to let some know-it-all Blonde Bombshell in hot pink heels question his every move.

But, under the glittering lights of Las Vegas, everything is not as it seems.
When an outside force begins to work against her, can Penelope still prove she has what it takes?
And will Stone and Penelope look far enough past their assumptions about each other to see that they may not be that different after all?

Bad Medicine: Castoff Empire Book Three
Mia
Secrets were never good.
I knew that.
But I had spent so long protecting mine
I didn’t even remember what a life without lies felt like.
But this man?
He made me want to spill my soul at his feet
Just to watch him play with the pieces.
But every secret has a price
And when mine comes due
The cost may be more than I could ever hope to pay.

Rocco
She shot me down.
It’s not like it had never happened before.
I mean, it was rare, but it had happened.
But this woman?
Man, there was something about her that I just couldn’t shake.
It was starting to look like I really didn’t want to.
But when the truth came out
And I finally saw the whole picture
I knew I’d do whatever it took to keep her.
To keep them both.
