Pumpkin Spice and Everything Nice
I devoured this book. Cozy, flirty, and packed with feel-good charm, The Pumpkin Spice Café is everything I love in a small-town romance—and more.

Myth, Mystery & Magic Done Perfectly
A beautifully layered story that blends myth, romance, and mystery with effortless grace. The concept of a cruise down the river of the dead is as clever as it is haunting (especially if you’ve ever worked in service). With emotionally resonant characters, rich world-building, and a plot full of genuine surprises, this is the kind of fantasy that lingers long after the final page.
