Hi, besties!

Stick to a genre, they say. Stay in your lane, they say. Well, THEY can shove it. I’m just going to write what I want.

So… I have a surprise project in the works 😈

What is it, you may ask. Is it another medical romcom? No! (Though never fear, Asher’s book is still dropping in April).

I’m shifting gears entirely! I’m going dark and angsty and unapologetically feminist.

So … what is it?!

My friends, on January 6th, I am releasing a ~dark dystopian romance~ (Wait, is that even a genre? If it isn’t, I just made it one). Like many of you, I’ve been feeling oppressed, depressed, and maybe even a little angry. I’ve helplessly watched while women’s rights are systematically revoked, and I’ve found myself thinking, “Where is this heading??”

So I wrote that story.

And I added an enemies-to-lovers romance (because duh).

Are you a dark romance girlie? Did you love the dystopian vibes of Hunger Games but want more romance? Do you wonder sometimes if we are turning into Gilead? Come join Sophia and Lucas on their journey to upend the New American Order!

Blurb is below. Cover reveal SOON! Sneak peek HERE.

THE HUNGER GAMES meets THE HANDMAID’S TALE in this star-crossed dystopian romance.

In the ruins of a nation, two enemies risk everything for a chance at justice… and each other.

After the Fracture, nothing is safe—not love, not truth, and certainly not women. In the ashes of the fallen United States, the New American Order has seized power, silencing dissent and enslaving the vulnerable. To stop the spread of their evil, Sophia Reeves has given everything to the Defiance, a resistance force battling the NAO, but now, her general has another command: become a contact for an enemy officer-turned-spy. She understands the sacrifice this order requires. Association with a Blood Colonel is a death sentence—especially for a woman.

He’s just a name at first. A whisper in the dark. But week by week, Lucas Scott becomes something more—dangerously unreadable, brutally efficient, and far too human for a man embedded in a regime that breaks people like her. Sophia expects cruelty. She prepares for betrayal. What she finds is a man haunted by secrets, driven by grief, and willing to burn the whole world down for a hope he’s barely clinging to.

Their alliance is a fragile one, forged in shadow and drenched in danger. But as the Defiance grows closer to victory, their missions become deadlier, and the line between duty and desire blurs. Beneath the shadow of escalating war, Sophia and Lucas must decide what they’re willing to sacrifice for a cause that might already be lost—and for a love they were never meant to find.

Hauntingly raw and achingly romantic, UNTIL I DIE is a story of rebellion, redemption, and the unbreakable will to love in a world that has forgotten how.
