If the Legacy of Gods series and the Off Campus series had a baby… it’d look a lot like the Heirs of the Organized series. 🫢

Read what you love. You don’t owe anyone an explanation.🔥

🌶️ Smut doesn’t make you shallow.
🤫 Closed-door romance doesn’t make you boring.
📚 DNFing a book doesn’t make you a quitter.

It makes you a reader who knows exactly what they want. And that? That’s power.

So… we got one of those bird feeders with a camera, which I thought would be good for my mental health… because well… cute birdies. Instead, I get videos like this. Now instead of writing, Im staring out my window, looking for what I hope is a raccoon. Whatever it is … it’s creepy AF! 😬😬😬

Just finished this dark hockey romance in a day! Bad Intentions by Mila Kane really kept me hooked: high school seniors, nerdy coach’s daughter, traumatized boy from wrong side of the tracks, maybe a little bullying and oh so much angst and longing….

I read to escape. To dream. To feel. And somehow, in every dark romance, I find a reflection of something beautiful.

The ache, the longing, the healing in the shadows… it all speaks to me. If you love dark romance too… tell me why. What draws you in?

I had to spend three hours driving today, so I downloaded “Deep End” to listen to on my trip. Yeah… I was 15 minutes past my exit before I realized it… if I had been in an airport, I’d probably have missed my flight. 😂

This is a peek at Weaponized, my debut spicy, mafia romance, and the book of my heart. It’s dangerous, seductive, and the story of enemies who were never supposed to fall in love. I hope you’ll check it out at www.amazon.com/Weaponized-S... 🔥🔥🔥

What’s your favorite romance trope? I love too many to name…but I’d have to say forbidden love, enemies to lovers and the tried-but-true “just one bed” get me every time. ❤️

Here’s a rockstar romance recommendation! Just finished “The Piece That Fits” and it is:
- slow burn
- enemies to lovers
- forced proximity
- brother’s best friend
- secret relationship
- new adult
Definitely a good addition to your TBR!
🌶️📚💙

I am celebrating the miracle of being able to write outside in April in Pittsburgh. For those not familiar with this beautiful part of the U.S., I was in my winter coat a few days ago…

I rarely start any series until it is complete for this reason. I wish I was mature enough to handle being left on a cliffhanger…

My debut, Weaponized, is a spicy, new adult, mafia romance, and I can guarantee you my college days were NOTHING like my main characters. Not that you wouldn’t want to read a book about drinking too much, studying too little and constantly worrying about running out of money. 😂
