Drama! now available

Get your fix of fierce banter, hate sex, and heart with Raleigh and Everett in Drama! It’s enemies…to fake boyfriends…to lovers.

My arch nemesis is my new fake boyfriend. Can you say drama?

I need a plus one, stat. Enter Raleigh Marshall.

As luck (or misfortune) wou...

Cover Reveal: The Barkeep and the Bro

The third book in the Single Dads Club series is coming at you May 25. This time, we delve into Mitch’s story.

I loved the idea of a guy falling for his daughter’s ex-boyfriend. It seemed like a fun play on the dad’s best friend trope, especially when the ex-boyfriend is a former fratboy who personifies the expression “young dumb and full of come.” 

And I was really excited about pairing up Mitch, the hulking, lumberjackian single dad, with Charlie, a short stud. This book is a love letter...

Now Available: The Mayor and the Mystery Man

Are you ready for Leo’s happily ever after?

The Mayor and the Mystery Man was my first friends-to-lover and fake boyfriend story, and it won’t be my last. I loved writing about characters with a deep, shared history. And watching two characters pretend to be in love and then actually falling in love? Priceless.

When writing the character of Leo, I kept picturing from The Walking Dead. Dark eyes, stern “I don’t have time for this b.s.” smolder. Perfect for a small-town mayor and lovingly sarcastic friend trying to weather a political scandal to win re-election.

The Mayor and the Mystery Man includes:

[] Best friends to fake boyfriends to lovers

[] Bi-awakening

[] Low...
