Let’s be honest: romance heroes have been turning heads for decades. Brooding billionaires. Grumpy bodyguards. Reformed bad boys with dark pasts.
But when I sat down to write the Storm Series, I knew I wanted to do something different.
Mimosa Cay may be a fictional island off the coast of southeast Florida, but it has its own heartbeat—its own rhythm, secrets, and shadows. And like any great character, it has the power to comfort, seduce, or betray.
There’s a reason trust—and the betrayal of it—lies at the heart of so many unforgettable romantic suspense stories. Nothing gets my pulse pounding quite like the tension of wondering: Can I trust you… or will you destroy me?
When passion finally breaks through after chapters of tension and self-denial… it hits different. Like thunder after a long, charged silence. Like a storm you’ve been watching roll in from the distance, knowing it was only a matter of time.
My characters insisted on a name change for my current series.

What does danger look like?
When I started working on covers for the Storm Series, I knew I wanted something that captured both the elegance of the Ivory Tower world and the suspense crackling beneath the surface. Easier said than done.
People often ask what it really looks like to write romantic suspense—the kind that simmers with heat, unravels secrets, and dances with danger.
