All my life I’ve surrounded myself with books, which probably explains why I’m both a librarian and author.

I write stories where the intensity of the romantic yearning is matched only by the complexity of the politics and court intrigue. I love a romance where the heroine is largely misunderstood and dismissed by the society around her—until she meets the hero, who not only recognizes her unique qualities but falls for her hard. Then together they accomplish things that neither could have done on their own. Like burning down empires.

When I’m not writing or working in the library, I can usually be found obsessing over creamy chai tea, fluffy cats, and pretty textiles. I live in Montreal with my gamer husband and our three rambunctious kids.
