Blurb:

"I’m leaving you.”

When my wife spat out those words, I was angry.

Furious.

I thought I could move on.

Thought I could keep on living my best life without her.

I was wrong.

You don’t ever get over a woman like Rose Reynolds.

You worship her until the day you die.

I did while we dated, and for years after our marriage.

But then I went and screwed up.

My Rose comes with thorns, and she won't forgive me. She won't listen to a word I have to say.

She's completely shut me out.

When I see her on a date months later, I decide in order to win her back, I have to do everything I can to make her realize she's still mine.

I'm going to play dirty.

So, I follow her to her apartment building where we get stuck in the elevator.

That's where things change.

We say things we don't mean.

Things we both regret.

Things that just might be impossible to fix our marriage.

Reading has always been one of my favorite hobbies, even as a little girl. When I was a toddler, my parents would read stories to me over and over. I would hear them so often that I had the books memorized and could recite the story word by word.

 

My favorite genres are fantasy, paranormal, and contemporary romance. So of course that's what I'm inclined to write.

 

​I have a husband, two young daughters, and a mini Australian Shepherd. I've lived in Tennessee the majority of my life and love the state.

 

I'm extremely addicted to caffeine and enjoy drinking coffee and lattes.

Genre: Contemporary Billionaire Romance
Release Date: September 29, 2022

A billionaire romance with a touch of angst, a hint of forced proximity, and a whole lot of heat.

LILY
There once was a prince, in a bungalow by the sea…
He’s the ocean roaring into my life, an ocean whose depths I can’t resist even though I must. I want him, but I’m not supposed to want more. And yet, when I look at him, this damaged artist, this kindred soul who paints my dark world with his laughter and his pain, I want to give in…
But I can’t, not when I’m not the one he sees, not when doing so would mean losing my voice all over again.

There once was a prince, in a bungalow by the sea.
But he’s not my prince; he never was for me.

Along came a pixie, in a faded hoodie…
She’s the wave crashing through my world, the wave that brought me to my knees and threatens to sweep me under. I want her, but I’m not supposed to want more. And yet, when I look at her, this paperbag princess, this impossible minx who dances her way into my dark, I start to lose control…
But I can’t, not when I have nothing left to give, not when doing so would mean digging into the wounds of my past all over again.

Along came a pixie, in a faded hoodie.
Just a minx, a pixie… and she’s all that I see.
