If you're looking for heartfelt sapphic romances filled with chemistry, humor, and a little heat along the way, you're in the right place.

I write contemporary love stories about women finding their person—often when they least expect it. Whether it's a small-town bookstore, a book club full of meddling friends, or a chance encounter that changes everything, my stories celebrate connection, community, and the magic of falling in love.

I'm so glad you're here!

Big feelings. Genuine friendships. Laugh-out-loud moments. The kind of romance that makes you swoon, root for the characters, and close the book with a happy sigh.

When I'm not writing, you'll usually find me watching Top Chef, planning my next story, hitting up Disney with my family, or getting lost in a great book.

I'm so glad you're here!

Let's fall in love with a story together.

No matter the setting, my books share a common thread: heart.

some fun facts!

On a lazy night in, I love romantic comedies, reality TV, and a good pinot noir. 

My background is in theatre, and I occasionally freelance direct whenever I can squeeze it in.

I live in San Antonio with my family and two Jack Russell Terriers named Apple and Ryder.

I love to read and used to sneak my older sister’s romance novels when no one was looking.
