Music has always been a big part of my life. I don’t play an instrument like my husband or kiddo, but I’ve always been a big fan. This love was planted early by my mom. She taught aerobics in the 80s as her second job, and I can remember sitting with her and her stack of 45s (records), trying to find just the right songs for her routines. As I developed my own taste, I shifted into listening to my favorite radio stations, painstakingly waiting for my favorite songs to come on so I could hit Record, and making mixtapes for my Walkman. (Yes, kids, this is how we had to do it, lol.) Eventually ..read more

It’s that time of year. Tax time. Ugh. It’s definitely not my favorite thing to do, but one of the only interesting parts of the process for me is looking at my bookish stats. As an author, I get to claim the books I buy as a business expense because part of the job of being an author is reading what is being published and knowing the market. So each year, I put together a spreadsheet with every book I’ve purchased. Then, just for my own curiosity, I divide them by format (print, ebook, audiobook, subscription book club, etc.) and highlight the ones I’ve read. This gives me some valuable (and ..read more

Hi y’all, This will be a quick one today, but I’m so excited to share that the new gorgeous edition of The Ones Who Got Away is now available! This series has always been special to me, and I’m thrilled that Sourcebooks has given it fresh life with this beautiful redesign and new available format.

Hey y’all, It’s cover reveal time! As I mentioned in my newsletter, The Ones Who Got Away series is being reissued in trade paperback size with beautiful new covers.

When the series originally came out, they were released in mass market size ..read more

It’s that time of year again. That time when I ask myself the question—to reading challenge or not to reading challenge? I’ve gone back and forth over the years with reading challenges. Some years, I’ve simply set a total number goal in the Goodreads annual challenge. That’s basically a gimme for me. I know I’ll read at least 50 books in a year. But I like setting the goal because Goodreads gives you that nice little badge at the end of the year when you complete it. So I know I’ll do that one this year as well. In other years, I’ve gotten more creative, making up my own challenges. My most l ..read more

I have a new book! And I’m excited about it! And I hope you are too! And that’s enough exclamation points for now. :) But truly, I am so happy it’s today and that I can now share this book with you. I worked on this story (sneaking scenes in between writing other books) for two years, so it feels like I’ve been with these characters forever—in a good way, lol. Even though I had no set plans for this becoming a novel (I was just writing for fun after getting inspired by, of all things, Gilmore Girls), these three characters would not leave me alone and they wanted a full (375 page!) story. I r ..read more

I’m going back to my erotic romance roots with this one, and I’m so excited to share this one with y’all! Good Girl Fail will be here on January 17. 2023, but you can pre-order the ebook now!

From the New York Times bestselling author of the Loving on the Edge and the Say Everything series comes a new steamy standalone MMF romance that proves good girls can have fun too...especially when she's their good girl. O'Neal Lory has been taught that one mistake can un ..read more

If you’re looking for something quick and steamy to read, I’m making my short story “Movie Night” available for download for a limited time. This is the short story that I contributed to the Nightingale charity anthology, which is no longer available to purchase. (Thanks so much to those of you who purchased the anthology!) This is the story that I was inspired to write after a rewatch of the movie Reality Bites. Fair warning: If you’ve only read my contemporary romances, this story is more in the erotic romance zone. (There are three sets of feet on that cover, y’all, so this shouldn’t be a ..read more
