A cheat sheet for the vibes of my debut vs book 2. They are standalones, but there is, I think, a cohesive ✨essence✨

A pink illustrated book cover with two figures in a green wingback chair and with surrounding tropes: cinnamon roll hero, road trip, grumpy heroine, only one bed, small town, frenemies to lovers, holiday, he falls first, he’s her ex’s best friend, slow burn.

Houston #booksky are you looking for a cozy, funny, steamy romance to get you through the impending winter storm? May I suggest Take Me Home, which is set in Texas and features a winter storm (not traumatic) and forced proximity plot moment? Take care from a fellow nervous Houstonian.

A yellow illustrated book cover with surrounding book tropes, including “enemies to lovers, “workplace romance,” grumpy x sunshine,” and more. The book is a contemporary romance called Where You’re Planted.

Hi #booksky! If you’re looking for romance that resists what’s to come, my next book is about a library on the brink of permanent closure after sustaining damage in a hurricane, a county botanic garden trying to recover despite a slashed budget, and the necessity of community. Up on NetGalley now!

A little spice for your Monday. Take Me Home is a road trip/small town romance set over the holidays, and it’s available in every format now — I’m particularly fond of the audio! 💋

I think more books need maps! They should have given you one! 😂

I am so excited that my publisher okayed putting a map in my next book! It’s a contemporary romance set in a county botanic garden, and a map just seemed so delightful to add. I made this overly detailed drawing for the designer.

Hi, I write realistic contemporary romance about ordinary people finding extraordinary love. My debut is Take Me Home, and my next book, Where You’re Planted, comes out next summer. I’m an adult figure skater. I’m into embroidery, cats, breathwork, Taylor Swift, ice dance, and all things bookish.
