My Debut Romance, Vertigo, is Here!
I’m beyond excited to share some incredible news with you all—my debut novel, Vertigo, has officially been released! This soft romance intertwines heartfelt emotion with the exhilarating world of professional hockey, and I can't wait for you to dive into it.
About Vertigo Allow me to introduce you to Kieran Hayes—young, popular, and the charismatic captain of a professional NHL hockey team. With the world at his feet, the game is all that matters to him. But life throws him a curveball when he realizes he desperately needs a personal assistant to keep his hectic life in order.
Enter Samantha Keene, a diligent college student trying to regain control of her life after a heartbreaking betrayal turns her world upside down. Balancing school and multiple jobs is no easy feat, and just when things seem impossible, she receives an offer she can't refuse. Stepping into Kieran's world, neither of them is prepared for the magnetic pull they feel toward each other. What begins as a professional arrangement soon blossoms into something neither of them anticipated.
This is a story about passion, ambition, and the unexpected ways love finds you when you least expect it. Kieran and Samantha's journey is filled with moments that will make your heart race and your pulse quicken. I hope their story resonates with you as much as it did with me.
