The Tropes I Love (and Can’t Stop Writing About)

Sweet Contemporary Novels with a Desire for a Second Chance

If you’ve read any of my books, you’ve probably noticed one theme that keeps sneaking its way into every story — second chances.

I’ve always been fascinated by what happens when love circles back. When timing, fate, or even a little magic gives two people another shot. Maybe it’s the hope in starting over, or the emotional messiness that comes with revisiting what once was. Either way, my characters rarely get it right the first time… and that’s exactly how I like it. And, let’s face it . . . as authors we sometimes tuck a little of ourselves, or our desires, into our books.

Let’s take a little tour through my stories and the tropes that make them tick.

💔 The Dating Intervention (My debut novel)

Tropes: Second Chance Romance, Starting Over, Age Gap, Forbidden Love

Dating after divorce isn’t for the faint of heart — especially when your friends decide to “intervene.” This story dives into rediscovering yourself, finding love again when you least expect it, and realizing that sometimes your heart just needs the right person… and a fresh start.

🌙 Cursed

Tropes: Second Chance, Forced Proximity, Reincarnation, Modern Gothic Beauty & the Beast

Witches, curses, and a love story that defies time — Cursed is all about two souls who keep finding each other no matter how many lives they live. It’s atmospheric, romantic, and a little dark — the kind of story that whispers “what if love really is eternal?”

😇 Chasing Yesterday

Tropes: Second Chance, Mistaken Identity, Magical Realism, Angelic Intervention

When fate (and an angel) meddles with a love story, things get complicated. This one blends real life with a touch of the extraordinary — exploring forgiveness, destiny, and how even the universe can’t resist giving some couples one more chance.

⚖ Matchless

Tropes: Enemies to Lovers, Grumpy/Sunshine, Fake Dating — with a Second Chance Twist

Sparks fly when opposites collide — but add in an instant dislike (or is it attraction?), and you get delicious tension. Matchless is my love letter to the chaotic energy of rivalry, the slow-burn pull between two people who pretend to hate each other, and the moment they realize why they cared all along.

Why I’ll Never Let Go of Second Chances

For me, the beauty of a second chance is that it feels earned. These characters have lived, loved, made mistakes, and grown. Their happily ever after isn’t a fairy tale — it’s a choice or opportunity to try again.

Whether it’s set in a bakery, a haunted brownstone, or somewhere between heaven and earth, every story I write is about love that endures — sometimes despite everything.

Because deep down, I think we all believe in second chances. Don’t you?
