edit data

Pittsburgh, PA born and raised! I write Spicy Hockey Romance and Cozy Closed-Door Contemporary Romance.
I am a Mom, a Wife, and a dog and cat lover.
I've loved reading and writing since I was small.
My books are cozy with a little spice. Some might be a little fluffy, but sometimes you need that to get away from every day stress!
I am an avid hockey fan. I love my Pittsburgh Penguins! I do plenty of "research" for my books by going to hockey practices and games-I want to make my characters as real as possible.

Did you know?

Did you know that I write two very different types of Romances?

My Renegades Series is Spicy & Sweet Sports Romance. Lots of spice heating up the pages while not so much angst, hence the "sweet".

My Holiday Series is Sweet & Clean Romance. Sweet stories, cute new adult/college romance, and no heat.

My Renegades Legacy is Sweet Sports Romance. Married couple romance and problems, but not so much angst
