Honey, Don’t Judge Me!
My new series comes out in June 2025. First one is about Cara and Beckam.
Cara
I travel the country all year as a professional judge at small town competitions. And I’m over it. After a baking contest that turns into a pecan pie nightmare, I fly home for a much-needed three-week staycation. Just in time to meet my new neighbor, the hot and brainy Beckam. He’s the perfect summer fling for a girl who is weary of her job and obsessively reads romance books (that’s me). Or maybe I’ll sputter along all summer, unlucky in love, and forever attracting creepy guys with hidden agendas. I’m not sure, but I better not die trying!
Beckam
I’m secretly on the hunt for a romance scammer living somewhere in my new building. As I jam to my favorite bands and infiltrate the systems of each tenant, I stumble upon an unexpected distraction: Cara Brent. Usually, once a woman leaves my presence, I forget them. Until her. She’s become my favorite music track. But can I catch a criminal before he steals again while also convincing Cara to choose me instead of the other neighbor? I’m not sure, but I just might die trying.
Baby, Don’t Ghost Me!
I love Dehlia’s sassiness. Here’s Dehlia and Devon’s story:
Dehlia
Thanks to my cheating ex, I’ve sworn off relationships with anybody taller than me and any guy who even hints at being a player. Which means the enigmatic, tall, f-boy mayor in my small town is off limits. Somebody should give him the memo though, because he doesn’t care about my rules. He just wants me. Except, I’ve got murders to solve and ghosts to tame, so no time for breaking my dating rules. Well, that’s what I shout inside my head every time his luscious lips get anywhere near me. Maybe one day I’ll believe myself.
Devon
I ran for mayor in one of the smallest towns in Oregon, just to be close to Dehlia. She thinks her snarky words will chase me away, but it draws me in even more. News flash for Dehlia: I’m not going anywhere until she’s mine.
Sweetie, Don’t Quote Me
Frankie is my favorite character in the entire series!
Marcus Kelly
Frankie is Rainbow Brite in a world of black and white. And I’m captivated. Her? Not so much. But when my adorable 5-year-old son turns on the charm, she can’t resist his cuteness. He wants her to be his mommy and is determined to win her over, too. We’re finally making progress until my ex slithers back into town and confronts my shy bookworm. But I won’t let a toxic past relationship ruin my future with Frankie. I’ll do anything to make her mine.
Sweetie, Don’t Quote Me has all the fun tropes:
💕 He has to work for it
🚌 Other woman drama
💕 Single dad romance
🚌 Wallflower wins the guy
💕 Small town romance
🚌 A little stalker-ish
💕 Book nerd
🚌 Dual POV
💕 His ex cheated
About The Summer He Fell First Series

Baby Girl, Don’t Surf Without Me!
Originally published in the New Romance Cafe Anthology,
Holidays and Hookups
Roxy
Surfing on the California coast seems like the perfect way to escape my sister, who stole and then married my ex. But instead I end up shopping for my wedding dress, initiating intimacy in public with a stranger, and trapped in the trunk of a traitor’s car. Either I’m the Vacation Queen or I need an intervention.
Aleksandr
The family blessing (or curse, depending on who you ask) struck me in the chest the second I met Roxy, my sister’s best friend. Love at first sight. A lightning strike no one in my family dodges. As leader of the bratva, I never considered love or marriage until her. Now, all I dream about is stealing her away to my Chicago base of operations. I hope my sister doesn’t have any objections because she’s about to gain a new sibling. Now all I need to do is convince Roxy that I’m nothing like her ex.
Angel, Don’t Hide From Me
Originally published in the New Romance Cafe Anthology,
Second Times a Charm
Kismet Smith
I despise reality dating shows because I lost the perfect nice guy to my step-sister on one. I shouldn’t be surprised. I’m an awkward bookworm who shies away from most human contact, while she’s New York royalty with a beautiful face. It’s a good thing I gave the show a fake name, or I couldn’t hide out in shame, wishing someone would erase the memory of his dreamy eyes and talented lips.
Owen Freeman
I loathe the state of Oregon because that’s where I lost my dream girl on the “New Love in Newberg, Oregon” TV show. I literally lost her because she fled, and the show’s producers refuse to cough up her real name and location. But I’ll do anything for a second chance with her, even if it means turning bad, forsaking my nice guy tendencies, and raining karma down on those who thwart me.
The Summer He Fell First
I’m pretty damn excited because this will be the first print book of just all my stories. Squeeeee! It’s out in August. Details Coming Soon.

My Favorite book that I wrote…
My business, CannaBee, is doing great. Selling cannabis and honey in Oregon is a cakewalk. What’s not easy is getting a good night’s sleep. A mysterious vampire keeps showing up in my dreams, soaking my panties, and causing my body to ache. Too bad he is just in my dreamworld…or is he?
