Love, Light & Romance

I write contemporary Romance that is both sweet and sensual. My books often feature multicultural main characters that are strong-willed and purpose-driven, and there is always a happily-ever-after (HEA). The stories vary in heat-level and sensuality, from sweet closed-door, "clean" YA/NA first-love romantic stories to contemporary romances with a dash of suspense and tastefully heated, "steamy" open-door moments.

I focus on the events that bring many of us happiness, especially during times like these. I am a woman of color who believes that everyone has the right to love and be loved, consent is not optional, and souls connect beyond the boundaries of race, gender, nationality, class, or language. Love is Love. It always has been, and it always will be. Because I do my best to live a faith-based, holistic lifestyle, aspects of this will often be reflected in my work. This is an integral part of who I am.

My Holiday Heartbeats series is a collection of closed-door, "clean" romantic stories centered around the moment when you first realize that you're falling in love - and you swallow your fear and GO FOR IT. Each story takes place somewhere in San Diego, California.

I hope that you'll join me on my journey and get to know & love my characters - and their stories - as much as I do.

Sending Love & Light to all of you,
Atina
