There are romances that begin with two strangers meeting. And then there are the dangerous ones. The ones where two people already know exactly how the other takes their coffee. They know which stories they’ve heard a hundred times. They know how to work together without speaking, how to make each other laugh at the worst possible moment, and exactly which tiny habits will drive the other completely insane. They’ve already built the intimacy. They just haven’t admitted wha

There are some characters who fall in love easily. Macy Lockwood and Sawyer Reed are not those characters. And honestly, that might be my favorite thing about them. Off Balance, the first book in my Summit Ridge series, takes place at Summit Ridge Leadership Retreat, tucked into the mountains of West Texas—a place filled with climbing walls, ropes courses, impossible corporate team-building exercises, unpredictable weather, and a staff that notices absolutely everything.

Three Brothers. Three Love Stories. The Carver Brothers Trilogy is filled with complicated families, emotional healing, slow-burning romance, hard-earned trust, and characters who do not walk away unchanged.

When Jasmine retreats home to Texas after chasing a glittering, high-stakes life in New York that slowly unraveled, she is forced to confront a fear far scarier than failure: What if the vibrant life she thought she so desperately wanted simply doesn’t fit her anymore? And what if returning home isn’t a white flag of surrender, but a blank canvas?

What happens when the person who once knew you better than anyone looks you in the eye and pretends you’re a stranger? That is where Keeper of Her Heart begins. This is Book 2 in my Her Heart series, and Allison and Pierre’s story is one I became deeply attached to because theirs isn’t a simple second chance. They have history. Messy, intimate, unfinished history.

I’m so excited to introduce King of Her Heart, the first book in my brand-new Her Heart Series. This story took me somewhere new as a writer because it is my first and only military/veteran romance, but at its heart, this book isn’t really about the military. It’s about coming home changed, facing the person you hurt most, and discovering that the past doesn’t always stay buried just because you tried to leave it there.

If you’ve been reading the Once Upon a Temptation series, Forrest isn’t a stranger. He’s Dominic’s best friend—yes, that Dominic from Book 2—and he’s been lingering in the background long enough for everyone to realize there was far more going on beneath that effortless charm. Now, in Book 8, he finally gets his turn.

Marnie Webb and Travis McKay aren’t strangers, enemies, or ships passing in the night. Their complication cuts far deeper: they already know each other down to the bone. For years, Marnie has lived woven straight through Travis’s life. She knows his home, loves his daughters fiercely, and can read his temper just by the weight of a shutting cabinet door. Travis knows her every tell—the hidden fatigue behind her bright smile, the exact piece of pot roast she’s eyeing, and the

Jace Kincaid and Leah Sinclair have spent two years working at Cedar Spurs Ranch, quietly noticing each other from opposite sides of the property. A look across a staff meeting. Forty-five minutes over bad ranch coffee. A passing smile that means more than either of them wants to admit. Then one summer, all that quiet attraction finally becomes something real. For three weeks, it’s everything Leah hoped it might be. And then Jace ruins it.

Sophie Sutton has just lost the grandmother who raised her. She’s inherited a house that feels too empty, started a new job, and is trying to figure out what life is supposed to look like now that years of caregiving have suddenly ended. The absolute last thing she needs is a cowboy trying to make her the punch line.

Marissa Lane Prescott comes to Cedar Spurs with what she thinks is a simple summer plan. Help out at her aunt and uncle’s dude ranch. Avoid making any major decisions about her future. And, if at all possible, avoid murdering Nolan Hayes Maddox. Nolan has apparently decided that last part is negotiable.

Tressa Danner isn’t looking for romance when she walks into Ramsey Auto. She just wants somebody to fix her car. Unfortunately for her, the mechanic standing in the garage is shirtless, sarcastic, completely inappropriate… and very, very familiar.

Once upon a time, Miles was her best friend—the person who knew her better than almost anyone. He was also the person who hurt her deeply enough that she walked away and never looked back. Until now.

I have been so excited to talk about Five Reasons, book five in my Making Love Count series, because this story has been quietly waiting for its turn for a long time. If you’ve read the first four books, you already know Raven. She was often there in the background—behind the bar, keeping an eye on everyone, serving drinks, making sharp observations, and generally giving the impression that she had absolutely everything under control.

As we continue working our way through this college friend group, Four Years Too Late puts Jules at the center of the story—and gives us a closer look at the relationship she has with Flynn, her next-door neighbor and one of her very best friends. Except calling them “best friends” doesn’t quite tell the whole story. Jules and Flynn basically function like a married couple. They just aren’t dating.

I’ve always had a soft spot for friends-to-lovers stories. There’s something about a relationship built on years of trust, shared history, inside jokes, and knowing someone at their best and worst that feels especially meaningful to me. I love taking that foundation and asking one simple question: What happens when friendship stops being enough?

When I first introduced Nia and Mateo in book one as Beck and Pink’s best friends, I knew almost immediately that there was more going on between them than either of them wanted to admit. Their constant arguing, the way they challenged each other, and what Beck jokingly called their “verbal foreplay” felt like the beginning of a story I needed to look at a little more closely. That story became Two Weeks to Fall.

I’m so excited to finally introduce you to my new series, Making Love Count. This series has been living in my head for a while now, and I absolutely love the idea behind it. Each book is a fast-paced romance with a little romantic comedy mixed in, and every title will contain a number that means something to the story. And I’m starting with Three Little Words.

This is the seventh—and, unless another idea refuses to leave me alone, the final—book in my Once Upon a Temptation series. Snow and the Seven Secrets was such a fun book to write because it let me mix a few of my favorite things together. I will always love romance, especially romantic comedy, but every now and then I want a little intrigue too. Not anything overwhelmingly dark or dramatic—just enough mystery and suspense to make you wonder what is really going on and keep y

If you’ve been following my blog, then you know that six months ago I took a leap that was equal parts exciting and terrifying: I started publishing my own books and finally began seriously chasing a dream I’ve carried with me for most of my life—becoming an author.
