Welcome!
I’m Courtney, a romance author who believes the best stories are the ones that stay with you long after the last page. I write emotionally rich, character-driven novels filled with second chances, slow burns, and a whole lot of heart.
After serving in the U.S. Army, I turned to writing as a way to heal and connect. Now, I pour that same depth and resilience into every story I create. My books are for anyone who’s ever been a little lost, a little scarred, and still searching for something real.
When I’m not writing, you can find me curled up with a good book, sipping strong coffee, and sharing space with my sweet Rottweiler, Quill. Whether you're here for the heartbreak, the healing, or the happily ever after, I'm glad you're here.
Laughing in the Dark
When the storm finds a home, so does the truth.
After her husband dies in her arms, Lexi Storm walks away from everything they built together and relocates to South Carolina, searching for peace. Clinging to his final words, she adopts the dog they never got to share—a loyal, soulful-eyed pup named Judge—and slowly begins piecing her life together. But as Lexi opens her heart again, buried truths, well hidden, start to surface, forcing her to question the people she trusts most.
Liam McHayes feels everything too profoundly, especially anger. Haunted by his sister's death, he wrestles daily with emotions that threaten to consume him. Then Lexi crashes into his life with her quiet strength and unexpected resilience. She might be the only one who can calm the storm inside him—if they heal enough to open their hearts again.
Falling for a Storm

Waking up in a coffin would terrify most, but for her, it’s just the beginning of the thrill. After ignoring all the warnings at a haunted house and following a group into the forbidden woods, she finds herself in the hands of Shade, Chain, and Creep—three twisted masters of fear who revel in torment. Now trapped in their cannibalistic game, she must prove her worth to join their deadly circle.
But fear? That’s just her idea of fun. While others scream and run, she’s laughing with lollipops in hand, embracing the chaos. In a world where terror reigns, she didn’t just stumble in—she came ready to play.
