My 7th novel — a contemporary romance set in Toronto during the early 1990s—will be released on October 8, 2026!
Please save a spot on your 2026 TBR for Georgie and Oliver’s romance, LOVE WANTS US TO WIN. Preorders are open now (links and info here).![]()
LOVE WANTS US TO WIN is a standalone which takes place in the same world as my six previous books.
It’s romantic and bonkers fun, and I had such a great time revisiting those heady times of 1992 & 1993. I hope you’ll enjoy this trip back in time, too!

Here’s what else you’ll get…

she’s a bubbly teacher
he’s a shy Egyptologist originally from Sweden (and a total cinnamon roll)
he’s nerdy and she’s into it
Georgie’s male BFF always has her back
opposites attract
he falls first, but it’s a slowwww burn
fish out of water
forced proximity
secret identity
Jays in the World Series
work colleagues to lovers
lots of hockey (well, it IS in Toronto & I’m me! lol)
own voices migraine rep
caretaking
a basset hound named Waffles
found family at the rink
a walk down memory lane full of Toronto sights & things from 1992-93 that no longer exist (World’s Biggest Book Store! Sam the Record Man! MuchMusic! mmmuffins! The Bamboo! and more!)
cheesy tunes from the 1990s
and yes, Toronto’s unofficial mascot, RACCOONS!
