DIANA
I sat outside the villa, closing my eyes and letting the rhythmic sounds of the waves reaching the shoreline and retreating from the white sand wash over me.

The couple that surprised me and completely stole my heart! Cadence and Meki were long overdue for an update, and I was thrilled to write one for them. It’s perfect timing too, since it was Christmas Day and being snowed in that originally brought these two together. They continue to be one of my favorite couples, and this alternate story ending just made it even more official. Enjoy!

Home for Christmas holds a special place in my heart as one of my favorite Christmas stories in my catalog, right alongside Rekindled. This story came to me completely out of the blue. As the holidays were approaching, I wanted to write something that captured all the Christmas vibes while being undeniably heartwarming. The premise? A separated couple brought together by their son, who asks for just one thing for Christmas: to celebrate the holiday with his parents under one roof. From that setup, you already know you’re in for a good time.

Eva Gordon is one of those characters who feels like a warm hug wrapped in a love story. She’s the definition of grace, balance, and knowing your worth, even when life throws curveballs your way. When I created Eva, I wanted her to represent the kind of love that doesn’t just exist for someone else but also for yourself. She’s deeply relatable, from her bubbly personality to her firm boundaries, and her story is one of resilience, healing, and rediscovering love on her own terms. Eva’s journey in Home for Christmas was a joy to write, and she’s a character that stays with you long after the last page.
Let’s get to know Eva Gordon more intimately.

“Yo, Duane.” Ryder patted my chest and gestured ahead. “It’s our light.”

Friends-to-lovers romance readers, this one’s for you! For a limited time only, Girl Code is on sale for just $0.99. From now until Monday, 12/23, you can experience a story that’s as heartfelt as it is complicated.
Meet Melodee Delon—a recent divorcée trying to piece her life back together. She didn’t expect to fall for someone new so soon, and she definitely didn’t expect that someone to be her childhood guy friend… who is also her best friend’s ex. Now, Melodee finds herself caught in a tangled web of love and loyalty.
We find ourselves in Clarke’s cozy, sunlit apartment in New York City. The faint scent of red wine and the sounds of the bustling city below seep through the windows. Clarke, with her effortless style and sharp wit, has settled into a comfortable chair across from me, a glass of wine in hand. As we settle in, she reflects on her life now with Yusuf, their journey together, and what the future holds.
Clarke, wearing a fitted sweater and high-waisted jeans, grins at me as she takes a sip of her wine. “You’re lucky I’m sipping this wine instead of running after some of the crazy ideas you’re about to throw at me.”
With a warm laugh, I start the conversation.

Rekindled was honestly a dream come true for me to write, especially as a close proximity romance. In fact, it’s because of Rekindled that I ended up working on another close proximity story—a friends-to-lovers tale that I can’t wait to share with you soon. But back to Rekindled: this story was part of a collaboration I did with a group of amazing women during Christmas 2020. It has one chapter in particular that I absolutely love and looked forward to writing because it’s exactly where the story takes off. It’s the moment when two exes discover they’ll be spending the Christmas holiday together… under the same roof.
