My favorite genres are: 1. Angry man ends up accidentally parenting some kids and loving them 2. FRIENDSHIP SOLVES EVERYTHING 3. Oh no! The enemy is sexy! 4. Did someone say REDEMPTION ARC? 5. Bad guys team up with good guys because there’s a badder bad guy

I’m here for the little details on a cover. I want to read a book and then look at the cover and be like OH THATS WHY SHE WAS WEARING A HOBBIT COSTUME. If that’s your vibe. Read Playing Flirty.

Whenever anyone asks me what Playing Flirty is about, I tell them it’s a love letter to the Lord of the Rings. One day I’ll find my LOTR loving contemporary romance reading audience.
