Enter Cash McCall, a rugged rancher whose steady strength and unwavering support give Vallen a sense of peace she never thought she'd find. As the two navigate their growing relationship, Vallen realizes that love doesn't have to burn out quickly-it can grow, nurtured with patience and understanding.

With unforgettable characters, emotional depth, and a beautiful blend of urban and rural life, Roots & Fire is a story about embracing who you are, letting go of the past, and building a future full of love and hope.

Gears & Smoke
The war was never theirs to fight-only to survive. When Solmara falls to rebellion and ruin, Evie Carter and Leo Donovan are left with one goal: escape. She's an engineer with secrets. He's a drifter with nowhere to call home. Neither are warriors, but in a world collapsing around them, survival means risking everything. Their only hope lies in Vassir's Gate, a distant safe haven whispered about in dying cities and fractured transmissions. But the road is treacherous. The enemy isn't just an invading army-it's the lawless chaos left in its wake. From burning airships to frozen wastelands, every step brings new dangers, new betrayals, and enemies determined to ensure they never make it out alive. Through it all, Evie and Leo fight side by side-mismatched, stubborn, and unwilling to let the other fall. But trust is fragile, and love is dangerous when every mistake could mean death. As battles rage and desperation sets in, one question remains: will they reach safety together, or will the war break them before they ever see peace? A steampunk sci-fi fantasy filled with adventure, peril, and slow-burning romance, Smoke & Gears is a story of survival, love, and the unbreakable bond between two souls in a world that refuses to let them go. (This book is still currently being worked on and adjusted. Feel free to offer advice as I am new to all of this!)
