“Love would be so much easier if it were perfect…” 

On the night of her husband Matt’s fortieth birthday, Rachel Abbott receives a sexy, explicit text from her husband that she quickly realizes was meant for another woman. Divorce is inevitable, and Rachel is determined not to leave her thirteen-year marriage empty handed. Meanwhile, Matt, a rising star mayor with his eye on the White House, can’t afford a messy split in the middle of his reelection campaign. They strike a deal: Rachel gets one million dollars and their lavish house in the wealthy DC suburb of Oasis Springs, as long as she keeps playing the ideal Black trophy wife until the election.

Then Rachel meets Nathan Vasquez, a very handsome, very lost twenty-six-year-old artist, and their connection makes Rachel forget about being the perfect politician’s wife. As Rachel reawakens Nathan’s long-dormant artistic aspirations, their attraction becomes impossible to resist. But secrets are hard to keep in a town like Oasis Springs, and Nathan has a few of his own. With the risk of scandal looming and their hearts on the line, they’ll have to decide whether the possibility of losing everything is worth taking a chance on love. 

The Art of Scandal is a sizzling, conversation-starting debut about rekindling passion, the transformative power of art, and finding love in unexpected places. 

Includes a Reading Group Guide.

A heart-warming, steamy holiday vacation romance that will leave your heart full.

Ten Reasons to Have a Holiday Fling…

That’s either the title of a holiday listicle I’ll be submitting in the hopes of strumming up extra cash…or it’s the mental game I’m playing during après ski.

Take a guess. (Hint: You can’t get it wrong.)

My first impression of the snowboarder balking at the top of the ski run wasn’t the greatest. But a couple of drinks in, with his ruffled hair, whiskey eyes and southern twang, Oliver transforms from just another vacationer to sizzling dreamy Texan.

This is the year I’m supposed to turn my life around. This is the year I’m supposed to live my life for me. What better way to kickstart my new life than with a holiday fling?

Plus, it’s my first Christmas without my family. And Oliver’s alone at Christmas too. No one should be alone at Christmas, right?

That’s my logic.

Those hot jingly nights keep us warm and toasty through my most unforgettable holiday ever.

And then it’s goodbye.

A sane, healthy, mature parting of ways and the kick off to the Year of Me.

But when an impulsive text rekindles the holiday spirit, it’s clear the fireworks didn’t end at New Year’s…

Christmas magic abounds in this love story that begins as a carefree holiday fling and transforms in the New Year, through all the seasons, and winds up right up back on Christmas Tree Lane.

How to Survive a Holiday Fling is a steamy, standalone holiday romance novel written in dual first-person POV.

A month after solving the murder of the Duke of Everton, Miss Victoria Parker is ready to indulge in a week of leisure. And what better setting than the quiet solitude of the farm belonging to the brother of her assistant, James Kensington? Although the getaway sounds promising, it does come with two caveats: Victoria and James must keep quiet their budding romance, and they must play guardian to James’s eighteen-year-old niece, Dinah, a task to which Vicky readily agrees.

And a decision she will soon regret.

On their first morning on the Kensington Farm, Captain Walter Rummings is found murdered. Worse still, the local constable has cast suspicion on Dinah, causing James to fret. After all, if Dinah’s name is ruined, no worthy suitor will every come to call. Not to mention the likelihood of a sojourn to the gallows.

With the Kensington name – and Dinah’s life – on the line, Victoria sets out to solve the murder of the captain, a task far more difficult than she first believed. The man had more enemies than friends, and finding buried treasure may prove easier than learning “whodunit”.

As Victoria delves deeper into the mystery, she also finds herself struggling to navigate her increasingly complex feelings for a despondent James. As the clock ticks faster, Victoria races to save not only her heart, but also the family name of the man for whom she cares deeply.

A cozy, romantic Regency murder mystery that will keep you guessing til the end.
