edit data

I’m an award winning author who loves to write scorching hot contemporary and science fiction romance—stories I love to read. I love working from home, where my office window looks out over our ‘block’ of fourteen acres with gorgeous mountain views. After enjoying a stint as a foster carer for cats, I now have seven felines to entertain me, along with two dogs and two horses. But only when I’m not distracted by my three gorgeous daughters, one of whom—a teenager *shriek*—is still living at home. As for my husband…he’s still waiting for retirement.

I'm working on Her Champion

I'm thrilled to start work again on The Unnaturals series, with book 1 His Asset already written and released!

I just love letting my imagination soar with these characters! Her Champion is available August 7th and will be followed right after by His Predator and His Shadow. All of the books in this series are available for pre-order now.
