I’m celebrating Diwali by sharing the cover of my new enemies to lovers romance Jasmine and Jake Rock the Boat, out April 18, 2023! . Do you remember Niki’s bad ass older sister Jasmine in A Holly Jolly Diwali? Well, she finally may have met her match in Jake when they both wind up on a ten-day Alaskan cruise together, having both tagged along on their parents’ vacations. Little did they realize it’s a seniors cruise, and they’re the only two passengers under the age of sixty. What could possibly go wrong?

Look at this beautiful cover:

Reading and writing romance has taught me the genre is more about the journey than the destination. It can be about learning to live life authentically, accepting past hurts and mistakes or growing into better versions of ourselves. It can be just as much about the pursuit of self-love as romantic love.
