My Books
He was the billionaire trying to bulldoze my community.
I was hired to stop his development project.
We were supposed to be enemies - not fall into bed.
Then the city forced us to work together.
Same building. Same floor. Same impossible tension every single day.
Hudson Cross is arrogant, controlling, and infuriatingly gorgeous. He gets under my skin before I even unpack my laptop.
And his daughter?
She steals my heart before I can stop her.
This was supposed to be simple. Fight the billionaire. Save the neighborhood. Go home.
Nobody warned me he'd fight just as hard for me.
Nobody warned me his little girl would start calling me hers.
Nobody warned me that hating him would feel exactly like falling.
Now someone wants us apart badly enough to destroy everything we've built.
Hudson Cross does not lose.
Neither do I.
But choosing each other might cost us everything.
I came to Ashford House to expose a breach, not to get tangled in a forbidden, off‑limits standoff with the grumpy billionaire who runs the place.
I’m here to dissect Manhattan’s most secretive luxury hotel from the inside out. Find the cracks. Follow the evidence. Keep my head clear.
Then, I meet Declan Ashford.
Billionaire heir. Controlled storm in a tailored suit.
Our first encounter sparks.
Our second smolders.
And our third becomes a mandatory thirty‑day on‑site residency that traps me on his executive floor… with a connecting door and absolutely no escape from the tension humming between us.
The longer we’re forced into each other’s orbit, the harder it is to pretend I don’t feel every shift in his voice, every glance that lingers a beat too long, every moment that feels like a line we’re both about to cross.
But the real risk isn’t what I might uncover in this hotel.
It’s what happens when he stops holding back… and I stop wanting him to.
I was hired to survive.
A temp job. A paycheck. A few weeks inside the glass tower of a billionaire empire until my life stopped falling apart.
Then I met Sebastian Archer.
Cold. Controlled. Devastatingly untouchable.
The kind of man who doesn’t make mistakes—except hiring me.
One rumor. One reckless decision. One fake relationship meant to save us both.
Rules were drawn. Lines were clear.
No feelings.
No truth.
No real kisses.
But lies don’t stay quiet in boardrooms, and desire doesn’t care about contracts.
Now the media is watching, his enemies are circling, and my past is clawing its way back into the spotlight.
Every touch feels dangerous.
Every glance feels like a promise we shouldn’t make.
Because if this is just pretend…
Why does it feel like he’s the only place I belong?
And when the truth finally comes out, I’ll have to decide—
Protect myself…
Or risk everything for the man who was never supposed to be mine.
I didn’t mean to crash a billionaire’s gala… or fall into his lap on camera.
One frantic night, everything unravels in seconds.
I’m late for my son’s show - wrong door, wrong room, a desperate pivot to escape, and then a stumble I can’t recover from.
Suddenly, I’m crashing into the lap of the most powerful man in the room as cameras explode around us.
That man? Lucas Wolfe. Billionaire. Headline magnet.
The last person I should ever touch.
The scandal detonates instantly. And then he does the unthinkable.
He offers me a fake relationship that protects his image and strengthens my custody case, giving my son the stability, my ex keeps threatening to take away.
But pretending with Lucas feels nothing like pretending.
His focus. His protectiveness. The way he looks at me like I’m the one thing he never saw coming.
And when our lie spirals toward the truth, I have to decide one thing:
If I’m brave enough to believe he didn’t just break his rules…
he broke them for me.
He's my grumpy fake fiancé, an off-limits billionaire... and the only man willing to fight for us.
I just crashed into a mailbox that probably costs more than my rental car.
Welcome to Blue Heron Cove—where my fresh start comes with a custody battle, town gossip, and the hottest grump I've ever met.
Carter Hayes is everything I should avoid: a scandal-shadowed CEO, twice my age, way out of my league and absolutely done with feelings... until me and my daughter.
One tiny lie at a fundraiser turns into a fake engagement that might save my custody case and his reputation.
We share a house, a story, and way too many almost-kisses for something that's not supposed to be real.
If my father finds out, he would never forgive me, let alone approve.
But Carter shows up for every hearing. He makes space for my messy heart and my little girl's big feelings.
And when the truth comes out, my custody case, his second chance, and the fairy tale we’ve sold this town are all on the line.

One lie got me through the door. Now I’m in his bed, wearing his shirt, pretending to be his fiancée—and I’m not sure I want to leave.
I’m broke, accused of theft, and desperate enough to pretend I’m the elite nanny he hired.
He opens the door. I’m soaked, breathless, clutching a ripped bag of potatoes. Not how I pictured meeting Logan Price—tech billionaire, now my fake boss.
The plan? Stay a few weeks. Keep my head down. Don’t fall for the man.
But Logan is impossible to ignore.
Grumpy.
Intense.
Too hot for my sanity.
His daughter clings to me.
His eyes linger.
When he kisses me in front of his investors, I forget every rule I made.
Now I’m living in his mansion, sharing his bed, faking a love that feels real.
We’re tangled in secrets, slow-burn touches, and one contract we’re both ready to break.
He says I make him feel again.
He whispers, “Stay.”
I’m not sure I can walk away.
But if he discovers the truth about me, I may have to.
Ryder wakes up in the hospital—no memories, no past. Just me… and the baby he doesn’t know is his.
So I lie.
I pretend to be his fiancée.
Not because I want to. Because I have to.
To protect our daughter. To protect myself.
He’s my father’s best friend. The one I was warned to stay away from. The one I swore I’d never see again after that night.
But fate had other plans.
Now I’m back in his arms, faking a love that never really ended.
He doesn’t remember what we were.
But his body does.
But once Ryder learns the truth, he’ll stop at nothing to claim what’s his.
The question is, will it be custody of our daughter or my heart?

Who am I
I write swoon-worthy contemporary romance filled with secret crushes, fake dating schemes, and the kind of forced proximity that leads to undeniable sparks.
Whether it’s a grumpy/sunshine dynamic, a brother’s best friend who falls first, or a billionaire bad boy with a good heart, my stories deliver all the tropes readers crave—plus a few surprises along the way.
From office romances and next-door neighbors to single dads, socially awkward heroes, and off-limits love interests (yes, even the father’s best friend), my books celebrate messy emotions, magnetic chemistry, and the kind of love that’s worth the risk. Expect only one bed, slow burns, and protectors who’ll do anything for the ones they love.
When I’m not writing, I am probably plotting my next damsel-in-distress rescue or dreaming up an entrepreneur with a secret soft side. I believe every happily-ever-after should come with laughter, longing, and just the right amount of steam.
