About Me

I write love stories—about women over twenty who are still searching for their happily ever after. Women who don’t always take the high road, but always take a chance on love.

​

Because love is powerful. It’s messy, complicated, and life-changing. My characters are never perfect—they’re flawed, stubborn, and sometimes downright infuriating. But that’s what makes their journeys real. In my world, the road to love is rarely smooth… and that’s exactly what makes the destination worth it.
