This is an opposites attract, forced proximity, slow burn, second chance romance that will capture your heart and make you believe that anything is possible.
Yep. I've contacted two editors, a beta reader and a freelance critic. All of whom are so open and borderline brutal with their advice that the rewrite is a project I feel will be far more successful than the original novel.
The first chapter I sent to the critic was absolutely torn apart. I use too many "-ings," adjectives, and, in their words, "word vomit." Yes, fair, I totally do. And I will continue to do so, just to get the ideas out. Then comes the meticulous process of implementing all of their words of wisdom.
Now, each chapter looks professional. They flow beautifully. Whenever I read through what I have written so far, the pride and wonder at how far this masterpiece has come along leaves me on a forward sprint.
With luck, the new book will be out sometime next year. I'm taking it slow. This idea means a lot, and it deserves to be told in the best way possible.
Even if that means I get my ass handed to me every time I send in a new chapter for critique.
Morally Grey Characters: What It Means, Why Readers Love Them, and the Best Reads
If you have ever rooted for the villain, defended a morally grey love interest to your book club, or highlighted passages from a character who probably belongs behind bars, you already understand the pull of this trope. The term morally grey has exploded across BookTok, romance Twitter, and Goodreads reviews, and for good reason.
These characters sit in the uncomfortable space between hero and villain, and that tension is exactly why readers cannot put their books down, cannot stop talking about them, and cannot stop searching for the next one that hits just as hard.
This guide breaks down what morally grey actually means, why these characters wreck readers in ways the traditional hero never could, how to spot a real morally grey book from a watered down imitation, the legendary characters who defined the trope, and how to craft one of your own. Whether you are a reader chasing your next obsession or a writer trying to build a dangerous love interest readers will remember for years, this is your full breakdown. https://www.smutfinder.com/blog/morally-grey-characters-meaning-appeal
Legacy of Deception
When animosity evolves into love...
Marco has just been told by his father Santo that he’s going to marry Brooklyn Briggs. Why, you ask? Because Brooklyn’s father has something Santo wants. Brooklyn gets a similar talk, with her parents telling her that she has to marry Marco Deluca. Oh, and there’s this little complication…she’s pregnant with another man’s baby. A man who wants nothing to do with said baby.
Both Marco and Brooklyn have spent their lives doing what they were told. Both of them think it’s loyalty. But is it? Arranged marriages in this day and age? That seems less like loyalty and more like using your own family for your gain, not theirs.
Honestly, Marco is awful to Brooklyn at first, which made me a little angry. She’s been forced into the same thing he has, and he ought to remember that. Marco’s brother Dom (see the Morelli Sisters books if you haven’t already) escaped that “duty”, leaving the family to be a model. Now he’s happily married and has kids.
I understand the impetus to do what’s best for your family. But if blindly doing what’s best for your family means losing your own autonomy…well, it’s not an equitable situation, and it will drag you down.
There’s no big turn when Marco and Brooklyn start treating each other with respect. It quietly builds throughout the story, until you’re nearly at the end and realize how far these two have come. I’m not going to spoil any more of the plot, but you will love the conclusion. These two will get their happy ending, but it is hard-earned, and it’s worth the journey, so get the book, won’t you?
thrilled to reveal the cover, blurb and title of my upcoming historical romance, Crash into your Heart!

Introduction: "The Night We Met"
The Grumpiest Billionaire Next Door
He came there for peace and anonymity.
Maya owns her own flower shop, Finch and Fern, and now the building she’s in is being put up for auction. The man who’s the top bidder is billionaire Sawyer Ransome, a man she had a slight altercation with when delivering flowers to an event on his property. She pretends to think nothing of that meeting, but she can’t get him out of her head.
Sawyer is equally befuddled about Maya, and insists to himself that he’s not thinking about her. Come on, kids, if you’re saying to yourself that you’re not thinking about someone, that proves that you’re thinking about someone. But it’s cute how they try to pretend they’re not attracted to each other.
A hearing about the auction of the building Maya’s shop is in reveals the villain of the story — Trent Lowell. He has snapped up properties in town, gutted them, turned them into posh apartments and whatnot, and setting the rent ridiculously high. This is a guy who will step on anyone to get what he wants. Little does he know yet that Sawyer is going to stop him at almost any cost.
I’m not fond of billionaire romances, but Sawyer really appeals to me. He’s quiet and contemplative, and doesn’t throw his weight around (usually). When he realizes that Lowell is going to cause trouble…well, Lowell isn’t going to know what hit him. Sawyer may not have a lot of people whom he can call family (blood or found), but without realizing it, he is drawing in not only Maya, but the townsfolk as well.
Old things matter. They are symbols of who we were, and who we are. Maya understands this; her family built that flower shop, and now she’s the only one left to carry it on. Blood, sweat, and tears are infused into every atom of that place. It should be protected.
There isn’t a straight line to the happy ending, but we get one, and it’s sweet and romantic and will leave the reader with a good feeling. So, get the book.
