Tangled Hearts.

Growing up? Yeah, it wasn't exactly a Disney movie.

My father left for the war when I was three — and spoiler alert — he never came back.

So it was just me, a lot of questionable life choices, and a dream of maybe getting through high school without setting something on fire. Somehow, by some miracle (and a lot of caffeine), I graduated in 2018.

Fast forward a few years — at 21, I got tossed into Los Angeles like a half-packed suitcase, the day after finding Blake wandering the streets. I didn't plan to become someone's mom overnight, but life doesn't really ask for permission, does it?
London will always be home — the way your favorite old hoodie is, even when it's fraying at the sleeves — but in a beat-up, half-broken house in LA (which we lovingly called the Trap House), I found something I didn't think I deserved: happiness.

Turns out, the universe isn't completely horrible.
Because I didn't just find a roof over my head — I found them.

Colby — the grumpy tornado of a man who somehow ended up my future husband (still unclear how I survived that courtship) — and his circus of roommates: Sam, Jake, Corey, Katrina, Devyn, and Tara.
They're my ride-or-die people.
Not by blood, but by loyalty, by laughter, by showing up when it mattered most.

And my sister Isa? She's my lighthouse. My chaos coordinator.
Yeah, she's younger than me, but somehow she's still the one reminding me not to light metaphorical fires I can't put out. (Or actual fires. It's happened.)

This story, Tangled Hearts, isn't just about romance.

It's about finding love and family in the places you least expect — usually when you're half-drowning and definitely not looking for either.

It's about the bittersweet mess of surviving heartbreak, building something new from the wreckage, and realizing that sometimes the people you choose can feel more like home than the ones you were born into.

DISCLAIMER TIME:
This book dives headfirst into some heavy stuff — parental loss, violence, blood, a lot of chaotic emotions, and yes, graphically detailed sex scenes and adult themes.

If you're under 18 (or if words like "blood" or "orgasm" make you faint), maybe circle back in a few years.

If not — buckle up, my loves. It's gonna be one hell of a ride.
