About Me
I’m a Toronto-based writer who has always loved reading and only dreamt of writing a book of my own. I’ve stopped dreaming, and I’m on to making it happen, starting with my debut romance novel.
Books that opened my eyes to the magic of storytelling include Beloved by Toni Morrison, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou and Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, to name a few.
Outside of this writing journey I’m on, I can be found weekend brunching, playing tennis in the summers and reading a diverse range of books and audiobooks, of course.

Epic trip for Aunt Brenda’s 60th birthday
Get married and start a family (?)
Her life was going to plan until it wasn’t. First, Aunt Brenda died, leaving London alone. Then, London’s boss questioned whether she had what it took to be a partner. And, if she thought things could not get any worse, her high school crush, the boy who had humiliated her, shows up. Nikko was still hot. She still hated him. And he was about to be sleeping in the bedroom next to hers.
Nikko King was a self-taught chef with a rough past and big plans to buy the diner in his hometown and transform it into his dream restaurant. But first, he wanted to get his diploma to prove to himself and the ghost of his past that he could do it. What he hadn’t planned on was seeing London Jackson again, let alone crashing at her place while he finished his course. True, he had ghosted her when they were teenagers, but he had his reasons. Not that any of that mattered. He was in town to finish his course, and Coca would forever be out of his league.
When Nikko offers to help London rediscover what brings her joy, she agrees, but only on the condition that she could help him with his social media in return. As they work through activities for London’s “Joy List” and Nikko faces personal and business challenges, they find it hard to ignore the sparks, but they can’t avoid past hurt and mistrust that threaten to keep them apart.
London and Nikko must decide whether they are willing to change their plans and take a leap of faith on a second chance at love.
