When life falls apart…laugh loudly
Dear Readers
Discover the healing power of humor during dark times. This uplifting post explores why laughter is essential for resilience, featuring the hilarious romantic comedy Sex With Strangers—a feel-good read about second chances and dating disasters.
In uncertain times, sometimes the most rebellious thing we can do is laugh.Not a polite chuckle. Not a quiet snicker.
But a deep, ugly-snort laugh that yanks us out of our despair and reminds us—we’re still here. Still breathing. Still capable of joy.
That’s why I wrote Sex With Strangers.
It’s a wildly funny, slightly cheeky, utterly heartwarming romantic comedy about second chances, female friendships, and fumbling your way back to love—one swipe at a time.
Meet Ruby Evans: freshly divorced at 44, spectacularly out of practice, and entirely unprepared for the chaos of modern dating. (Her learning curve includes ghosting, emoji flirting, and a playlist titled Revenge Body.)
And yet, through the heartbreak, the awkwardness, and the heels-too-high-for-comfort… she laughs. And so do we.
“A really good, hip, fun book. It was a riot. Great fun!” “I loved everything about this book, especially the humor.”
Because sometimes, laughter is the medicine. And love? Well, it doesn’t always arrive on schedule—but when it does, it’s worth the mess.
Need a laugh? Ruby’s story is here for you.

Or share it with a friend who needs a little sparkle and sass in their day.
p.s. this is a clean romance (mostly) with a few saucy bits.
Also released as an expanded version as Christmas for One.
He was a man she should never love. She was the dream he could never possess.
When war turned her world to ashes, perfumer Layla Samara fled with nothing but the scent her mother crafted—a fragrance woven from memories, hope, and survival.
Now rebuilding her life far from her shattered homeland, she guards her heart as fiercely as her dreams.
Until she meets Sheikh Zahir Al-Rami — the dangerously handsome ruler whose wealth could buy anything…except the trust of a woman like Layla.
One forbidden encounter draws them together, stirring a passion neither can resist—and awakening a longing Zahir thought he’d buried forever.
But secrets swirl behind palace walls. Duty demands Zahir marry a noble bride. And Layla carries a secret of her own—one that could cost them both everything.
When destiny and desire collide, will they sacrifice everything they know for a love written in the stars?

Meet Chloe Hart: a free-spirited artist living in a tiny, colorful town in New Zealand. Her life is full of chaos, paint splatters, and a goat named Pesto. She believes in following her heart, even if it means living a little messily.
Enter Alex Monroe: a polished tech entrepreneur from San Francisco. His life revolves around schedules, spreadsheets, and achieving success. He’s convinced everything can be planned—love included.
When the cutting-edge AI dating app “HeartMatch AI” pairs these two complete opposites with a shockingly low 42% compatibility score, both are ready to swipe left. But curiosity—and a few witty messages—pull them into each other’s worlds.

Along the way, they’ll discover that love isn’t about finding someone who ticks every box—it’s about embracing someone who challenges you to step outside yours.
