edit data

I’m a contemporary romance author from many places, but now located in South Florida and loving every minute of it. I write steamy small town romance stories that tug at the heart and leave you wanting more. I also write what I like to read myself: spicy insta-love with a twist.

If you enjoy westerns, you'll enjoy my Love Under The Western Sky series. If you prefer the beach, try my Romancing The Keys series. Then there's my latest novella series, Rustic Romances, featuring Lumberjack John.
