There’s nothing quite like a good villain.
Not the mustache-twirling kind who leaves clues in all caps or monologues their plan before the bomb goes off. I’m talking about the slow-burn kind. The one hiding in plain sight. The charming face in the crowd. The man you almost trust.
The kind of villain who doesn’t strike first.

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.

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.

Here’s a peek at what’s been keeping me busy this summer—and what’s coming next in the world of Jena Wilde (and beyond).

People often ask what it really looks like to write romantic suspense—the kind that simmers with heat, unravels secrets, and dances with danger.

It occurred to me that if I wanted to be an author, maybe I should start by writing about the writing experience itself.
