Hi y'all! I'm Des!

I'm a thirtysomething, hopeless romantic, neurodivergent small town girl. I'm happily married, love fitness, the outdoors, thrift stores, and being a homebody.

I love writing stories that blend serious topics with humor, cuteness, and a little spice. I tend to write stories involving LGBTQ+ characters, age gap relationships, and a little bit of kink. My main project is my Texas Tea Chronicles romance series, but I post other stories from time to time.

Texas Tea Chronicles:

Something Like Oxygen ✔️
Hitting the Wall (in progress)
Above the Law (in progress)
Somebunny to Love (coming soon)

Other stories I've written:
six days [and I didn't repent] ✔️
