❤️ Behind the Scenes: My Love Affair with Contemporary Romance
From shifters and monsters to heroes without the fur and claws...
If there’s one thing that runs through every story I write—no matter the setting, the heat level, or whether there’s a witch, shifter, or billionaire in sight—it’s ROMANCE. Always. At the heart of it all, I’m a sucker for love stories.
That’s why I started expanding my catalog into Contemporary Romance across so many different subgenres. Because passion looks good in every outfit.
Whether it’s a three-piece suit, a rugby jersey, or a cowboy hat—it’s still love that drives the story.
Here’s a look at how my contemporary worlds came to life:
💋 Cherry on Top Tales
Spicy, short, and sinfully sweet! These bite-sized contemporary romances are pure escapism—quick reads filled with insta-love, sizzling encounters, and happy endings you can devour in a single sitting.
💸 Wild Billionaire Romance
Money can’t buy love, but my billionaires keep trying. Behind the suits and skyscrapers are passionate men and curvy women who burn up the page with temptation, obsession, and emotional heat.
🐍 Jersey Bad Boys
Dark, dangerous, and deliciously sinful. The Vipers rule the underground with fists of iron and hearts they swore they didn’t have—until the right woman walks in and ruins everything.
📈 Mergers & Acquisitions
Power, passion, and desperate love. These alpha businessmen would conquer empires, but the moment they fall, it’s to their women. Each book is a darkly emotional dive into obsession, redemption, and heat.
🏉 A Carolina Rugby Romance
In Consequence, North Carolina, love’s a full-contact sport. These gruff athletes tackle heartbreak, banter, and temptation—and they never play gentle.
🎸 Wrecked Rockstar Romance
Broken hearts and haunting lyrics. Fame left these rock gods wrecked—but the right woman can turn every scar into a love song.
🔫 Sigma International Security
Action, danger, and scorching chemistry. These elite protectors live by one rule: never fall for the client. Too bad fate has other plans.
🤠 Dry Creek Cowboys
Rough hands, dirty mouths, and hearts of gold. These Jersey cowboys ride hard, love harder, and never back down when it comes to protecting what’s theirs.
🌲 Woodhaven Mountain Men
Broody, rugged, and unexpectedly tender. In the mountains, love sneaks up like a snowstorm—fierce, unstoppable, and worth every second.
Every one of these stories celebrates connection, chemistry, and the power of love—because that’s what keeps me writing. Whether it’s billionaires or bad boys, mountain men or bodyguards, my heart always belongs to romance.
