I didn’t come to Paris to behave. I came to build a life—on my terms. To turn photography into a career. To live alone. To want what I want without explaining it to anyone. Instead, I arrived with a best friend who bought my building, a past that refuses to stay buried, and a heart that’s a lot more complicated than I ever planned for. I’m good at faces. At reading desire. At seeing what people don’t say out loud. What I’m terrible at is pretending I don’t want things that blur lines—between friendship and longing, independence and intimacy, women and men. Paris doesn’t care about my labels or my plans. It offers temptation, ambition, and the kind of love that doesn’t ask politely. This isn’t a love story with rules. It’s a beginning with consequences.

I love books. Not just a little bit, but a lot. Books were my best friends when I was growing up. Books didn’t care if I was new to a town or to a class. They were always there, my trustiest of companions. Until they turned on me and said I had to write them. I can tell you that my own personal happily ever after included writing books. I’ve always said that an HEA is a work in progress. It’s true in my marriage, my friendships, and in my career. I am constantly nurturing my muse as we dive into new tales, new tropes, new characters and more. After seventeen years back in Texas, we relocated to the Pacific Northwest in search of seasons, new experiences, and new geography. I can’t wait to discover what life (and my muse) have in store for me. Maybe writing was always my destiny and romance my fate. After all, my grandmother wasn’t a fan of picture books and used to read me her Harlequin Romance novels. Friends to lovers, enemies to lovers, friends to enemies to lovers, you name it, I love them and love to write them. I started with Earth Witches Aren’t Easy, the first in the Chance Monroe trilogy, but my characters and I have traveled a long way since I created that urban fantasy world. One of the series I hear my readers recommend the most is the Untouchable series followed in quick succession by the Vandals, and that just delights me. No lie, whenever one of my readers brings up my wolves, I do a little a fist pump. I’m active on social media, and I love hearing from readers. Feel free to tag me with a question about any of my books, or just say hi!
