"The Only One Who Saves Me" is a debut novel that follows two twenty-somethings as they navigate the pitfalls of modern life (and ghosts of the past).
Set along the picturesque shores of O'ahu, Hawaii, Morgan and Ember are both trying to make their way in the world and find their place in it. Each character is haunted by tragedies of the past and an uncertain future, but it isn't just hardship that eventually brings them together. Through a chance meeting, they find in one another a kindred spirit, and, it's a shared passion for music (not personal tragedy) that ultimately breaks through the barriers that each has lived comfortably numb behind. Almost as soon as it begins, however, old wounds threaten to destroy their budding romance, as secrets, lies, and self-sabotage undermine them at every turn.
Told from the unique perspective of both characters, readers accompany the pair on a journey of sacrifice and self-discovery, as they come to realize that, if you peel back the veneer of sunshine and rainbows, even paradise has a dark side.
When Chef Margot loses her beloved restaurant to her cheating ex-fiance, her best friend, single dad Nathan, steps in with an unexpected offer to help her start over. As they collaborate, sparks fly-but can they overcome their complicated pasts for a chance at real love?

Margot Taylor thought she had it all: a thriving restaurant and a fiance she adored. But her world crumbled when her fiance abruptly cancelled their wedding and claimed ownership of her cherished restaurant. With her career in tatters and her heart broken, Margot is forced to start over.
Enter Nathan Davis, her loyal best friend and a single dad chasing big dreams of his own. As a partner in the multibillion-pound auto business, Nathan offers her a lifeline-a chance to open a new eatery on the grounds of his new mechanic shop.
As Margot pours her heartbreak into a new dream, her friendship with Nathan deepens into something much more electric. But their growing happiness is threatened when Nathan's ex-wife returns, determined to take their daughter away and upend the new couple's relationship. Caught in chaos, Margot must decide if she has the strength to fight for the life she's building...or let the wounds of her past ruin her future.
