I get it. When I was nineteen I wanted to get breast augmentation surgery.

The cover for my upcoming book Make Room for Heather. It depicts a Black man and a Black woman on stage with his hands on her hips and her grabbing his collar and winking at us.

But somewhere between control and surrender, the lines blur. Power play turns tender. And when romance takes the reins, they’re confronted with the one question neither saw coming: will love be their safeword?

That gut feeling? Dead right. Heather doesn’t just command the chaos of Julius’s girls, she commands him. Behind closed doors, he discovers she’s a domme who leaves him ruined, wanting more, and craving the way she takes care of him.

But with his family relying on him and yet another nanny quitting mid-tour, Julius trusts his instincts and hires a friend’s pick, Heather—a self-proclaimed “eldest grandchild”— as his new live-in nanny, betting she’ll go toe-to-toe with his fiery firstborn.

Enter Julius Waller, known to his fans as multi-platinum rap royalty, Emperor Julez. Beneath the crown, he longs to trade sold-out arenas for a slow-building film career and the chance to be a full-time dad to his three daughters.

Indulgent shopping sprees, lavish vacations, and an allowance that could bankrupt a small country. She’s the ideal carefree socialite… whose parents have just cut her off for six months to experience life outside the velvet ropes.

COVER REVEAL

Sorry, I need to post on here more 😕

Blurb: As the heiress to the Braun luxury watch empire, Heather Braun lives the life most can only dream of. In the heart of the City of Angels, she’s mastered the art of living the glamorous life.

This is why I write dual POV

Yep. My mother did too. She once told me, "I worry about you because you're a Black girl and the world isn't kind to Black girls but I never worry about what you'll accomplish because I know you'll do great things." 🥹💜

I literally said this to a friend this morning.

Happy New Year 🎊🎉 and 🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾

My meal prep usually involves marinating meat. My kids are picky eaters and it's something I can always rely on.

Currently marinating mesquite chicken wings.

As a Romance author and a woman, I wholeheartedly endorse this idea. 💜💜

Cover Art for my book, "This Christmas." It features a Black woman feeding a Black man a cookie as they wear Christmas sweaters.

An excerpt from my book, "This Christmas"

Happy Holidays! And a Merry Christmas to all who celebrate. If you’re still looking for a holiday read to close out the year, might I suggest “This Christmas.” It’s free and available on my website. Link in bio. Thank you! 💜💜

I know it's not a lot of folks'cups of tea but I like inst-love and insta-lust. I'm thankful that the beta readers I work with have the foresight to slow me down because, left to my own devices, I'd have folks fucking five minutes after they met.

All the above!! Sex scenes are some of my favorite scenes to write.

I name characters based on their personalities and I prefer unique names.

I'm writing an interconnected rom-com universe so there's things with meaning and easter eggs everywhere.

Writing sprints with friends.

No, he didn't do it. He'd call his brother then a lawyer. He comes from a rich, influential family so he'll have good representation in court.
