I’m incredibly excited to announce my participation in the upcoming charity anthology, To L.A. With Love. 

When wildfires destroyed two beloved Los Angeles public libraries in January 2025, the romance community answered with heart. In To L.A. With Love, 100+ local and international authors and poets weave tales filled with sexy contemporary passion, dreamy historical romance, and spellbinding magical encounters. From the sweetest kiss to steam between the sheets, these tales remind us why we fall in love with books—because like libraries, they offer refuge, inspire dreams, and bring people together.

This anthology celebrates the power of romance, and all proceeds from To L.A. With Love support the restoration of the Altadena and Pacific Palisades libraries, proving that love stories can heal more than fictional broken hearts—they can rebuild community. 

My contribution, Surf’s Up for Love, is a nostalgic beach read set along the sun-soaked California coast. It follows Bree, an aspiring artist who makes a summer bet to ride her legendary grandmother’s surfboard—or give it up forever. There’s just one problem: she’s never surfed.

Enter Jaxon Ryder, a surfing champion who hasn’t faced the ocean since the accident that nearly cost him his life. Bree’s resolve lures him back to the edge, and as he teaches her to ride, she reawakens a passion he thought had drowned in the waves—the rush, the high, the peace only the ocean can bring.

What begins as a playful lesson forges a powerful connection, as Bree finds her greatest inspiration in the man beside her—and Jaxon realizes it’s time to stop reliving the wipeout… and catch the next wave. 

All proceeds from this heartfelt collection support the restoration of two beloved libraries—because stories have the power to rebuild not just hearts, but communities.
