Swipe Right for Murder (Author)

Dating is tough. Especially if the guy you like might be a murderer. After a devastating heartbreak and a string of short-lived, failed relationships, college student Georgie Itoyama has now decided to approach dating in the same way that she approaches everything else: methodically, logically, and efficiently. Georgie downloads countless apps, determined to find the love of her life as easily as she orders jeans online. And while her love-at-first-sight aspirations don’t exactly come true, she does find someone she likes. Quite a lot. There’s only one problem. Girls are going missing at Georgie’s university, and all the signs are pointing to . . . him? Between a boyfriend with multiple dead ex-girlfriends and a sudden threat to her own life, not to mention the creepy messages from weirdos on the apps, Georgie seriously wonders whether this stab at love was worth it. But that’s ridiculous. What are the chances that she’s dating an actual serial killer? Fast-paced, hilariously witty, and exhilaratingly suspenseful, Swipe Right for Murder will have you caught up in the mess that is murder, intrigue, and the nightmare of online dating.

The Billionaire's Assistant (Editor)

One night. No names. No limits. Until he walks into the boardroom—and she realizes her wildest night just became her new reality. Olivia Reilly never expected the man who rocked her world to be her new billionaire boss. Cold, commanding Asher King acts like he doesn't remember her—but the way he watches her says otherwise. Quitting isn’t an option. Olivia needs the job to save her childhood home, even if it means enduring Asher’s icy glares and blistering tension. To cover the purchase of her late family’s estate, she takes on a secret, scandalous side gig … one that draws the attention of a dangerous stalker. When Asher sees the bruises, all bets are off. His possessive side ignites, and the man who’s always kept his distance suddenly wants to claim her—for good. She was never meant to fall for her boss. He was never supposed to break his own rules. But their chemistry could burn down everything in its path.
