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.

My daughters have always been fascinated by mermaids. Over the years, our house has been home to more toy mermaids than I could possibly count, so I suppose it was only a matter of time before a little of that magic found its way into one of my books.

As the series title suggests, each book is loosely inspired by a fairy tale. This time, the inspiration is Rapunzel, although Evelyn’s story is very much her own. She has extraordinarily long hair, works high above Dallas in a tower, and finds herself trapped in an elevator with a man who is most decidedly not a prince.

I’ve always been drawn to fairytales. I love the magic, the romance, and the promise that even complicated people can find their way to a happy ending. This book is not a traditional adaptation, but it does have a playful frog-and-princess inspiration woven through a modern, steamy romance.

If you’ve been following my Once Upon a Temptation series, you may already know that Midnight and the Prince is book three. Each story is loosely inspired by a fairy tale, and this one is my modern take on Cinderella—though Claire isn’t waiting around for anyone to rescue her.

I’ve always loved fairy tales and the promise of a hard-won happy ending. Red and the Wolfe isn’t a direct retelling, but it is lightly inspired by the imagery and tension of Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf. In this story, however, determining who is dangerous—and who can be trusted—isn’t nearly so simple.

I have always loved writing emotionally intense romance, including stories with open-door intimacy. But I also know that many readers prefer their romance without explicit scenes—my best friend included. She is one of my most enthusiastic supporters, and I wanted her to be able to enjoy my novels from beginning to end without needing to skim past parts that were not right for her. That inspired me to begin creating two editions of selected books: the original open-door ver

I’ve always loved fairy tales—especially the promise of a hard-won happily ever after. There are countless retellings of Beauty and the Beast, but Beauty and the Boss is not a direct adaptation. It is a contemporary romance lightly inspired by the familiar themes at the heart of that story: isolation, transformation, vulnerability, and the terrifying risk of being truly seen.

I have always loved writing romance with plenty of heat, but some of the people closest to me—including my mom and my best friend—prefer their love stories with the intimate moments left to the imagination. That made me realize something important: readers should not have to miss out on characters, relationships, and emotional journeys they might love simply because the original heat level is not right for them. So I am creating closed-door editions of as many of my nov

If you’ve been following my Unclaimed Hearts series, then you already know that The Reluctant Romantic is Book Six—and Tyler has deserved his own story for a long time. He has always been the quiet one. In the earlier books, Tyler stayed mostly in the background. He wasn’t loud and outgoing like Finn. He wasn’t rebuilding after a divorce like Derek. He wasn’t searching for a lost love like Tom. Tyler was simply steady, dependable, and easy to overlook.

I have always loved happily-ever-afters. Not the easy kind. Not the kind where love fixes everything without effort. I love the hard-won endings—the ones where two people have been hurt, have made mistakes, and still choose to find their way back to each other.

If you’ve been following the Unclaimed Hearts series, you probably already have an opinion about Finn Rourke. He’s loud. He’s charming. He’s reckless. He’s the man with the joke, the beer, and the blue-eyed grin that gets him forgiven far too easily. Finn has always known how to work a room. He knows how to make people laugh, how to keep things light, and how to make sure no one looks too closely at what’s underneath. But what happens when Finn finally meets a woman he

If you’ve been following my Unclaimed Hearts Series, you already know this is book three. When I was writing Luke’s story in book two, I knew some of the men around him had stories of their own waiting to be told. Tom was the obvious place to start. He is Luke’s best friend, the steady one, the careful one, the man who thinks before he moves and tries very hard to do the right thing. But sometimes doing the “right” thing is really just fear wearing a nicer coat.
