No mayhem, no surprises–just the way he designed it.
Until a relentlessly cheerful shifter bursts into his life and upends it all.When Raya and Asher are accidentally double-booked into the same hotel room on a business trip, Raya is determined not to let her inner animal run wild and ruin her career. Against his wishes, Asher's fangs ache to taste her, while Raya's shifter side purrs for him and no one else.With the full moon rising, and Asher the only one who can help Raya control her urges… They soon learn that falling in love is a different animal entirely.*Paperback and eBook available for pre-order on Amazon and Kindle, Kindle Unlimited coming 1/27. Paperbacks will be available in the Etsy shop as well.

When I'm not reading or writing, you can probably find me forcing snuggles with my heart dog, Wixom, rollerblading around San Diego with my husband, playing the piano, or embroidering whatever random items I can get my hands on, including book covers.My books are perfect for people who like a moderate amount of open door spice, care about mental health rep, are queer or LGBTQ+ allies, and like to support indie authors.
I was inspired to combine my passions of mental health and plants in my debut novel, Poinsettia Lane.
My second book, Love You A Latte, is a sapphic romance of what I wish the world could be like for gay folks. <3
