Everyone deserves a love story
Under Construction
I am working on launching my first book, but it is a long process- 2024 at the earliest!
Reverse Fairy Tales Series
Do you love fairy tails?
Do you ever wonder what the world would be like if gender roles were reversed?
Do you want stories with both love and adventure?
Then you will love this series! Each story is set in a historical time period. Each plot is that of a beloved fairy tale- with one twist- the roles of the hero and heroine are reversed. These are set in the 'real' world, so the only magic is love (and maybe the odd gypsy curse). Will you fall into the clutches of the beast? Climb the metaphorical bean stalk? Find the trail of breadcrumbs you left? Come find out- it is perfectly safe- I promise!
Coming Soonish!

Beauty and The Beast
Time Period: Regency England
Eloise Campbell’s good looks were shredded in a carriage accident, leaving her to grow into womanhood lonely, angry, and nicknamed “The Beast”. Now, her great aunt has left her a fortune… on condition she marries. Eloise is perfectly content to let the money rot, but her parents give her an ultimatum: get married or spend the rest of her life in an institution to deal with her anti-social ways. Eloise chooses marriage, but the thought of feeling the disgust in her husband’s eyes when he looks upon her makes her skin crawl. When she learns she is to marry one of the most handsome men of the ton, that just makes everything so much worse.
Allen Wexford was considering marrying and settling down, but marriage to the woman people unkindly refer to as "The Beast" was not what he had in mind. His family is on the verge of bankruptcy, and as the only unmarried son it falls to him to save them. Despite his misgivings, Allen is determined to make the best of things. His new wife, however, turns out to be a complex and tantalizing challenge in ways he never expected. Can Allen look past her scars and, even more challenging, convince his Beastly Bride that he actually cares for more than her money?
