Bad To Do
Love & Ice, Book 1
Coming November 2026!
Love always ends in pain.
At least, that’s what Noelle Roper and Logan Stone believe.
Noelle Roper has moved from England to Boston hoping for a fresh start, but surviving college is hard when she’s carrying chronic pain, depression, anxiety, and the slow heartbreak of losing her father to dementia.
Logan Stone doesn’t do relationships.
He doesn’t do feelings.
And he definitely doesn’t let people close enough to hurt him.
As FCU’s star hockey player, Logan has built his life around control, discipline, and keeping his heart locked away. But when Noelle challenges him in a campus bar and proves she knows more about hockey than he expected, she becomes impossible to ignore.
Thrown together through class, hockey, and a connection neither of them wants to admit to, Noelle and Logan slowly begin to let each other in.
But when your biggest battle is with your own mind, love can feel like the most dangerous risk of all.
Bad To Do is an emotional college hockey romance about grief, chronic pain, mental health, healing, heartbreak, and learning that love does not have to be something bad to do.
Perfect for readers who love:

He falls first
Emotional slow burn
Banter and tension

Novellas & Other Stories
Under The Clock Tower
Coming 2027
When your power makes you an outcast, sometimes the only way forward is to discover it was never meant to be tamed.
At Duskwick Academy, Elowen Larkspur’s magic is as wild as it is dangerous. Branded a walking disaster and only one spark away from losing her dreams, she stumbles into The Turning Page, a hidden bookshop where shelves whisper secrets and a silver-eyed stranger sees her not as broken, but as becoming.
As their connection deepens, Elowen learns that magic isn’t about perfection—it’s about resonance, risk, and courage. But trust is fragile, and when secrets surface, she must decide if she can open her heart to the one person who makes her believe she was never meant to be tamed.
Under the Clock Tower is a whimsical, romantic novella about magic, belonging, and finding the courage to let yourself shine—even when the world expects you to fall.

Now he’s the VP of the reformed Hades Horde Motorcycle Club, and she’s back in town—only to discover Ryder has been hiding more than just his feelings. When her sister’s life is saved by a mysterious stranger, long-buried secrets resurface, pulling Scarlet and Ryder back into each other’s orbit.
As passion collides with betrayal, and family loyalties clash with second chances, Scarlet must decide if she can forgive the boy who shattered her—or love the man he’s become.
A small-town, second-chance biker romance about love, loyalty, and the snapshots of memory that never let us go.
