Hi hi all my smutty buddies!

It’s been a hot and muggy summer here in the Poconos. It’s vastly different from SoCal, although I’ve yet to experience the sweltering 115º heat of a summer in El Cajon while living here. I definitely don’t like the humidity of NEPA. I would happily banish that.

I’m a few days out from Tales As Dark As Time in Hershey, PA. I’m getting very excited. I’ve got to get my nails done and pick out a dress. I’m not normally girly, but what better time than a book gathering?! If you happen to spot me, please come say hello—I'd love to grab a quick photo of us!

Punk Rock Flea Market’s Summer Daze was last month, and it was a good time meeting new people. I am putting one book on sale on Amazon during each signing this year. Look out for The Dream Keepers, JONAH, and Wishcraft in the coming month.

I’ve had some family drama lately, and everything is on pause as far as writing, but I swear you will see a book from me by the end of the year. 

Book Recommendations

Below are recommendations for what I’m reading now!

Sweet Oblivion (Love & Legacy Book 4)

Shatter the slipper. Spit out the apple. Fall for The Beast.

I never wanted to get married.
Until the night my life went up in flames, and Ryker Beneventi walked into the fire to save me.

The Philadelphia Kings’ scorching hot defensive end has a tendency of doing that . . .
Protecting me is instinct.
Marrying me is strategy.
Calling me “his wife” . . . That’s for fun.

One carefully crafted press release later, and I’m standing beside the most photographed man in football, wearing a diamond I didn’t choose, and bearing a last name revered in this town.

It’s supposed to be temporary.
A clean solution to a messy problem.
But nothing about our marriage is as it seems.

Because somewhere between the locked doors and late nights, the lines between love and legacy blur. Until the only thing left more terrifying than the night that forced us together . . .
Is how scared I am to walk away.

Bad Nanny: A Single Dad Romance

(The Badden Brothers)

Hiring a good nanny should be easy for the CEO of a billion-dollar company, but with my high expectations and shining personality, it’s proving to be harder than expected.

Five. That’s how many nannies my daughter has had since her mother abandoned her at day care six months ago.

So, when Josie Hastings walks into my life and pulls my anxious little girl out of her shell, I’m powerless against hiring her.

Even if she pulls a sock puppet out of her purse during her interview.
Even if she gets glitter all over my pristine living room.
And even if sparks fly between us.

Too much is on the line to have feelings for the infuriating woman who now lives in my house. Some lines shouldn't be crossed, but I find myself unable to stay away from her.

I wish she was a bad nanny so I could fire her, but I'm falling hard for the one woman who could unravel everything. And I think I want to let her.


Bad Nanny is a spicy rom-com with all the feels and is the first standalone in The Badden Brothers series.
