Hi all!
I have some news!
The first novella in my Tool Belts & Heartbeats Series is dropping soon!
Fudge Me Gently will set the scene for Cherry Creek!
In small towns where every nail, beam, and badge tells a story, Tool Belts & Heartbeats explores the complicated dance between hard work and harder feelings. From construction sites to police precincts, romance takes root where duty and desire collide, twisted in the wires of ambition, responsibility, and the unpredictable lives of those who serve and build.
Each story in this series introduces a new set of characters—blue-collar workers who shape homes and futures, and cops who navigate the fine line between justice and passion. As love blossoms amid concrete dust and flashing lights, these couples must balance their growing connections with the weight of their demanding jobs. Can they find a way to build lasting love, or will the pressures of their worlds tear them apart?
Tool Belts & Heartbeats is a series where romance isn’t just constructed—it’s earned, with sparks flying between sweat and steel, duty and desire. Love might be a hard job, but it’s one worth working for.
