The final book in the Sawyer’s Cove: The Reboot series is live! Take Me Over is the story of Ariel, the last Sawyer’s Cove actor without her happily ever after (yet), and Ryan, the original creator of Sawyer’s Cove. We haven’t seen much of Ryan so far in the series, so I’m really excited to introduce him to you. Ryan is one of my favorite heroes to date–he’s kind, sweet, sexy, and a little clueless, which m...

Take a Chance is now live!

When I first got the idea to do a contemporary romance series based on the reboot of a teen soap a la Dawson’s Creek, I knew that I’d want to include gay characters both in my fictional television show and in my cast of romantic leads. Jack McPhee (played by Kerr Smith) was a groundbreaking and iconic character on Dawson’s Creek and I always wondered what it might be like to be a ...

It’s here! The third book in the Sawyer’s Cove: The Reboot series is live today! I’m really excited to share Warner and Selena’s story. We met both of these characters several times in the first books and I loved having the chance to explore them fully.

Moody Cove regular Warner Mathis was a fascinating character to write–it’s always fun to write about a writer, and he’s a bestselling detective mystery auth...

I’m so happy to reveal the cover for Take It All, which comes out April 28th! I get lost in Warner’s stare, just like Selena. What about you?

2023 is here! I’ve got so many things cooking for this year and I can’t wait to share them all. In the meantime, the first book in the Never a Bride series is just 99 cents right now, if you haven’t picked it up yet. Readers call Can’t Help Falling in Love “the perfect mix of solid characters, humor, angst and swoon.” 💕☺️

Fun fact about this book: the plant on the cover is a dracaena draco aka dragon tree and one plays a role in the book. They make great houseplants but can also grow up to thir...

I’ve had the pleasure of attending two book club discussions for Take Two this year. I think the first book in the Sawyer’s Cove: The Reboot series makes a fantastic book club selection because it’s a short, breezy read with a fun premise that involves TV, nostalgia, and podcasts, so it can kick off a larger discussion about favorite media past and present. I had a super fun time talking about the book with two book clubs in 2022, one in Connecticut, one in California, so I put together a book c...
