  • A Christmas Eve Fried Dough Tradition & FREE Short Story

    This time of year can bring back childhood memories for many people. For me, it’s my mom making cullurielli. Southern Italian sweet fried dough served on Christmas Eve. The kitchen would smell of warm, sweet fried donut-shaped pieces, sizzling in the pan. We couldn’t wait to dig right in. Cullerielli are crispy on the outside,…

    People often ask how I choose titles for my novels. Sometimes they come straight from the story, as they did with What A Girl Wants and Once Upon A Kiss. Decoy in Stilettos took a different path. My heroine, Ryan, faces danger, villains, her mother, and a romantic complication in heels without wobbling or needing…

  • Increase your grilled cheese sandwich game.

    Apple, Cheddar & Brie Grilled Cheese: The “Criminal” Sandwich From Decoy in Stilettos. In my recent release, Decoy in Stilettos, there’s a scene where Ryan, (heroine), takes over Gabe’s, (hero) kitchen like she’s auditioning for a cooking show.

  • The Vegetarian Lasagna That Sparked a Flirt Fest

    Food brings people together, even when danger is closing in. In Decoy in Stilettos, Ryan O’Flannagan is forced into hiding with Gabriel Marchetti—the annoyingly attractive, maddeningly noble, and way too good at pushing her buttons frenemie. But nothing ignites sparks like sharing a bottle of wine and a dangerously good vegetarian lasagna. The dish that…

    I’m thrilled to share the official book trailer for my rewly released, romantic suspense Decoy in Stilettos. It’s been a few days since Decoy in Stilettos made its way into the world, and I’m still soaking it all in — the joy, the nostalgia, and maybe a few tears (the good kind), and humbled by…

  • The Story Behind the Story: Meet Coaster Man

    Some character quirks are purely fictional, others are inspired by real life. Every book I write hides a few Easter eggs—tiny nods to real life. While my characters are purely fictional, at times a few of their quirks are inspired from people in my life. Such as my late husband’s legendary devotion to coasters. My…
