Dimitri—I admit it. I’m a manwhore…and proud of it. But I’m not a total asshole. The women always know where they stand. They’re a booty call—nothing more. Everything out in the open. That’s my way. Except have a secret, one that could ruin my career. A man who writes romance novels has to be perfect, like the men in the books. It’s what fans expect. …and I’m not. It could all come out at Southern Book Bash, one of the biggest author signings of the year. There’s only one person I can trust, one person who will help me do what needs to be done and keep my secret hidden from my readers. My best friend and personal assistant, Rebecca Rhodes. But when I ask her to put her issues aside in favor of mine, she flat-out refuses, quits, and throws my world upside down. Becca—I’ve been in love with Dimitri since I was fifteen years old. Yes, I know what he is. I’ve never had expectations from him. He’s my best friend, and I’m okay with that. Besides, I have my own secrets. I haven’t left my apartment in two years—and suddenly my boss and best friend demands I leave my safe zone and accompany him into my own personal idea of hell. But though it means drowning in panic, in the end, I can’t deny him. I have to help him. He needs me. Dammit. Can Dimitri and Becca heal each other and find a love they’ve both longed for? Or will an ex from Dimitri’s past ruin it all?

So who am I? Well, I'm the crazy girl with an imagination that never shuts up. I LOVE scary movies. My friends laugh at me when I scare myself watching them and tell me to stop watching them, but who doesn't love to get scared? I grew up in a small town nestled in the southern mountains of West Virginia where I spent days roaming around in the woods, climbing trees, and causing general mayhem. Nights I would stay up reading Nancy Drew by flashlight under the covers until my parents yelled at me to go to sleep. Growing up in a small town, I learned a lot of values and morals, I also learned parents have spies everywhere and there's always someone to tell your mama on you. So when you get grounded, what is there left to do? Read! My Aunt Jo gave me my first real romance novel. It was a romance titled "Lord Margrave's Deception." I remember it fondly. But I also learned I had a deep and abiding love of mysteries and anything paranormal. As I grew up, I started to write just that and would entertain my friends with stories featuring them as main characters. Now, I live Huntersville, NC where I entertain my family and watch the cats get teased by the birds and laugh myself silly when they swoop down and then dive back up just out of reach. The cats start yelling something fierce...lol. I love books, I love writing books, and I love entertaining people with my silly stories.
