It’s a short, five-minute read about passion, timing, and choices that linger long after the last page.
This story means a lot to me — it’s both a whisper of desire and a glimpse into how I explore love in my writing.

There’s a kind of beautiful chaos in writing — that space between inspiration and frustration, when the words come out messy but real. ✨
I’ve learned to embrace that madness. It’s where creativity lives, where passion meets persistence, and where stories truly take shape.

Writing is more than just putting words on a page — it’s giving voice to emotion, memory, and imagination. Every story we tell, no matter how small, leaves a mark.
So write what moves you. Write what scares you. Write what won’t let you sleep until it’s out.

There’s something about being snowed in that makes everything slow down — the world quiets, secrets come out, and maybe… love has a chance to grow.
Nina and Dexter didn’t plan on falling for each other — life just had other ideas.

What happens when life falls apart… but love finds a way to pull you back together?
In Snowed In, Nina finds herself alone, expecting a baby, and starting over in Alaska — the last place she thought she’d discover hope again. But sometimes, the right person walks in when everything else fades away

Sometimes it’s nice to step out from behind the books and say hi.
Writing is such a solitary passion, but I’ve learned that the best stories come from living — from moments in the sun, quiet reflections, and simple joy.
Here’s to a little sunshine, good wine, and inspiration wherever we find it.

Such a wonderful day at the Brooklyn Book Festival! 📚💫
I had the joy of spending time at the Romance Writers of America, New York City Chapter booth — meeting readers, chatting about stories, and sharing my books with new faces.

If you were there, thank you for stopping by and saying hello!

Some days, I’m the life of the party — other days, I’m this bear. 🐻
As an ambivert, I can flip between social and quiet, but I’ll admit… there’s something comforting about solitude. It’s where creativity breathes and stories take shape.

As National Hispanic Heritage Month comes to a close, let’s continue to honor and celebrate the rich histories, vibrant cultures, and lasting contributions of Americans whose roots trace back to Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central and South America.

There’s something special about the little things — like this tiny table waiting for laughter, stories, and cookie crumbs. 💛
These moments remind me that life’s sweetest chapters aren’t written on paper — they happen right here, around tables like this, with the people we love most.

Right now, I’m deep into The Last Mile by Kat Martin — a perfect blend of suspense and romance. It’s the kind of story that reminds me why I fell in love with this genre in the first place — tension, emotion, and characters that stay with you.

With Love & Lust, I wanted to write stories that reflect that truth — that love can be complicated, but it’s always worth the risk. For me, romance is about hope, desire, and the courage to feel.

Strong women. Bold desires. Real emotions.

Shana, Jennifer, and Nina may come from different worlds, but what they share is courage — the courage to want more, to feel deeply, and to dare.

When I write, my biggest hope is that the stories stay with you long after you’ve closed the book.
If you’ve ever carried a story with you days, weeks, or even years after finishing it, then you know exactly what I mean.

Each story in this book asks that very question in its own way.
For me, romance has always been about more than sparks — it’s about what happens when desire pushes you to make choices you never thought you’d make.

When I wrote Love & Lust, I wanted to capture those moments when desire collides with choice — when the heart races, the rules blur, and every decision feels like it could change everything.
