I'm writing mafia romance and I'm obsessed 🔥


Hello, Beautiful Readers! 💕

A Heartfelt Thank You for Outbreak Protocol

I'm still pinching myself over the incredible response to Outbreak Protocol! Your messages, reviews, and DMs have absolutely filled my heart. There's nothing quite like knowing that a story you've poured your soul into has touched readers in such a meaningful way. Every five-star review, every heartfelt message about how the characters made you swoon or cry (or both!) reminds me exactly why I love writing romance in the first place.

If you haven't had a chance to dive into Erik and Felix's pulse-pounding love story yet, Outbreak Protocol is waiting for you! Whether you prefer to get lost in the pages of a paperback, swipe through on your Kindle, or grab it as part of your Kindle Unlimited subscription, their story is ready to sweep you off your feet. Fair warning: you might want to clear your schedule because once you start, you won't want to put it down!

Life Updates & What's Coming Next

I'll be honest – I've been taking some well-deserved downtime lately, and it's led me down the most unexpected rabbit hole. I've been completely absorbed in Mass Effect Andromeda (yes, I know I'm fashionably late to this party!), and wow, has it reminded me of something crucial about storytelling. There's something absolutely intoxicating about a richly built, interconnected universe where every character, every relationship, every subplot weaves together into something larger than life. It's got my creative wheels spinning in the best possible way.

And that brings me to the news I'm practically bursting to share with you: I'm working on something completely new and deliciously different. My next project is going to be a mafia romance series, and I am obsessed with where this story is taking me. Think dangerous men with hearts of gold, fierce women who don't back down, and family loyalty that runs deeper than blood. I'm talking about the kind of passion that's both tender and explosive, set against a backdrop of power, secrets, and the kind of love that's worth risking everything for.

I know you're dying to know more (because I would be too!), so mark your calendars – next week I'll be revealing the title that's been making my heart race every time I type it. And shortly after that? The cover reveal that's going to make you understand exactly why I've been losing sleep over this story.

Talk Soon

Thanks for being the best readers ever. Seriously, your enthusiasm keeps me writing even when I'm stuck on a scene or doubting everything. I'll be back next week with that title reveal!

Hi Reader! I want to take a moment to thank everyone who has already preordered Unbound. Your support means the world to me(I know I say this a lot!), and I'm counting down the days until you can read Jesse and Adrian's story. If you haven't preordered yet, there's still time to grab the best book I believe I have ever written before it releases on November 14th. The ARC reviews have started coming in, and I'm overwhelmed by the response. Readers are connecting with this story in ways that...

Hi Reader! I'm so excited to share the cover for my next MM romance, Unbound, releasing November 14, 2025. Pre-orders are available starting now! This story has been reverberating around my brain since I read about the recent US Supreme Court hearings about lifting Colorado's ban on conversion therapy being defended as "freedom of speech." The inherent cruelty of that argument stuck with me, and I knew I needed to write this book. Unbound follows Jesse Miller, who has spent his entire life...

Hi Reader! If you haven't yet dove into Antonio and Lorenzo's dangerous world, what are you waiting for? The Seventh Circle officially launched last week, and the response has been absolutely incredible. I'm overwhelmed (in the best way) by the love you've all shown these two men. The Goodreads reviews have been phenomenal—thank you to everyone who's taken the time to share your thoughts. If you've already finished the book and have feelings to share (and I know you do), I'd be so grateful if...
