About the Author

Cheers! I’m a red-headed Texan gal that writes adult romance novels. After spending way too much money on education degrees—bachelors, masters, no ph. D yet, I realized that I loved teaching, but I needed to write. Somehow, I have struck a chaotic balance. Teacher by day, steamy romance writer by night….I daydream a lot, drink wine, gossip about juicy plots with my friends and obsessively read.
