Welcome in! I write sweet, contemporary small town romances with heartfelt and relatable characters and a healthy dose of humor that will have you grinning from ear to ear. My debut novel was released in March 2025 with glowing reviews from readers who felt genuine, deep connections to the characters. My second book released January 5, 2026 with readers enjoying the witty banter and imperfect characters! My books have both had disability rep, primarily autism representation. Links to both books are below.
A sweet, small-town romance with friends to lovers and heartwarming second chances, Everything Good that Happened amps up the drama while providing cozy, feel good vibes.
Sydney has had a streak of bad luck, and she blames herself for everything that has happened. Recently divorced and looking forward to a fresh start with her two young children, she has absolutely zero intentions of entering the dating world anytime soon, especially with the uncertainty of her ex's whereabouts and intentions looming over her. Men in general? Totally over them.
Fate intervenes when Sydney's cousin drags her to a bar for a night out, and they meet Will, the devilishly charming DJ. Will has had his own misfortune, and he just goes with the flow, unmotivated to change his life for the better... until Sydney unintentionally wiggles her way into his heart. As for Sydney, her determination to avoid romance at all costs, slowly crumbles as Will's easy-going nature gives her a new change in perspective.
In a whirlwind of yearning hearts, family drama, and a rescue bull, Sydney and Will try to keep things platonic, but they're only one stolen kiss away from falling for each other completely.
This heartwarming love story follows Sydney, an insecure woman overcoming a bad marriage, and Will, an almost too good to be true all-around good guy, in their gradual emotional journey as Will brings out the best in Sydney and makes her wonder if she should rethink her strategy of staying away from men completely.
Everything Good That Happened
A swoon-worthy opposites attract, grumpy to sunshine rom com set in the fictional small town of Willow Creek, Texas.
Impulsive and carefree, 32-year-old Lilly spends her days running a bakery and daydreaming about her next travel destination. But what she yearns for, more than anything, is finding someone she can be her true, lively self around. And in small-town Willow Creek, the chances of finding her match are slim to none.
That is, until Kade, a reserved but sexy police officer, comes to town, searching for an escape from his past. Jaded and trying to remain a loner, all he wants is to start a new, quiet life in sleepy Willow Creek.
But when Kade pulls Lilly over one night, it sparks a string of quirky run-ins that eat away at his reserved nature. When the dust storm rolls in, they end up on a collision course, and she becomes an irresistible light in his bleak world. As for Lilly… this uniform-clad, unadventurous man makes her giddy in the best ways. In a windstorm of sub-par driving skills, unfortunate sourdough decisions, and questionable pet choices, Kade and Lilly find that opposites really do attract. Each moment spent together sparks undeniable chemistry, bringing the promise of something more.
But when someone from Kade's past makes an unexpected visit, bringing his past traumas to the surface…will he and Lilly find a way forward or let it all crumble?
