James & Heather are getting married today…in the bookstore!

Based in Michigan, I spend my summers in the sun, my winters curled up in front of a fireplace, and I’m never found without a book in my hands.

I love to read dark romance but tend to write more fantasy romance with a dark twist.

I’m a mom, wife, daughter of a poet, and full-time busybody. I love to have multiple projects going at a time and can never sit still. Unless I’m writing of course.

I went to school for animal science but always found myself drawn to creative writing. While in college I took many creative writing courses and never lost my passion for a good story. After years of writing little bits of poetry, a story inspired me so deeply that I couldn’t put my laptop down.

The Caelestis Sun Series found me in the winter of 2021 and I’ve been daydreaming about it ever since.

She has a taste for trouble... He craves more than her body. Together they could be a recipe for love or disaster...

Opposites, Cindy Meier and Will Grimm, have two things in common. They love to annoy each other, and their siblings are getting married. That's it. Oh, and they have to plan the weekend wedding party.

Will doesn't want to put up with the spoiled socialite who lives in a fantasy world. And Cindy could think of better ways to spend her free time with her hot but grumpy brother-in-law. The only way to survive the awful chore is with snips, sarcasm, and sparring.

When they're forced together on the sunny beaches of Lake Michigan, their annoyance and amusement morph into something neither expected nor wanted-desire. They give in, agreeing it won't extend past the weekend. It can't. Will had finally crawled out of the hell he'd created, and someone like Cindy would send him back into it. And while she might enjoy Will's body and what he does with it, she won't change to fit into his life.

As they struggle to keep their attraction and deepening feelings at bay, they'll have to decide if overcoming their differences is worth the passion they've tasted...

CUPCAKES & TROUSER SNAKES: MAN, LOVE IS WEIRD…

Big dreams. Tierney Chandler had 'em. Why else would she leave her small town--and her picture-perfect fiancé--behind? Nine years later, the town's still small, her dreams are mostly still dreams, and her still-perfect ex is still interested. And, it turns out, so is his cousin.

Jack Elliott has changed a lot in the years since Tierney left, even if his old crush on her hasn’t. His easy charm (and irresistible baked goods) reel her in, and she finds herself making excuses to come home for the first time in years.

Can Tierney convince Jack that he’s taken a backseat to his perfect cousin long enough, and it’s his turn to grab the HEA they both deserve?

There is a group of us going to Romance Con (Friday only). We are carpooling if you would like to join us, see Heather for details.

Hi, I’m Meika!

I write love stories laced with snark, sex, and swears.

When i’m not writing, i love to travel (Amsterdam is my favorite city), scream-sing Taylor Swift in my car (All Too Well, anyone?), and get tattoos (a dozen and counting).

i live in Michigan with my two snooty cats and one scrappy little dog. Oh, and a never-ending pile of romance novels i swear i’m going to read…someday.

Last Ride of the Umbra Fae is a fast, wild ride in the dark. A beautiful, haunting story told from the perspective of two morally grey outlaws.

WANTED

For the murder of forty-five harmless civilians and counting at Grand Dusk’s Tavern. Last seen heading west in the company of an old man and a pet blue jay.

The last of the Umbra Fae are legends, rarely ever seen. But when Vessa is forced to emerge from the shadows in search of a highly coveted tonic, she has more than a warrant out for her arrest.

Little does she know, Ryder, her hired guide through the City of Donia, is a bounty hunter who can blend into the worlds of both fae and humans. Ryder is prepared to double-cross anyone for the coin he needs to buy a clean slate. And he has nefarious plans to discover why one of the Umbras is so special.

She’s a light in the dark. A fallen star.

The longer Vessa is in his range, the more this ruthless cowboy cannot tear his eyes away from her, forcing him to confront feelings he hasn’t felt in a long time. While she is forcefully bound to another, she is also his destiny.

When their storms collide, Vessa and Ryder must choose a side, but the price may be steeper than what anyone anticipated. Her vengeance could become a toll, painting the lands with more innocent blood.

Welcome to the land of outlaws, where no one can outride their fate.

A career driven woman. A grumpy mechanic. Stuck in BFE.

Melanie Donnelly does not have time for this. After her car breaks down in a small town, returning home and achieving a long overdue promotion feels like a long shot. Matters are not helped by the downright asshatness of the only mechanic in the whole county.

Nick Hornik relishes his quiet solitude. But when a tight skirt with fuck me heels comes into his shop, memories of being told he's worthless return. And when he's the only who can rescue her, the town pariah wonders if getting involved is ever worth the effort.

Falling for the big city lady, Nick fights the urge to fail at his job in order to keep her close just a little bit longer. And though Melanie knows her upcoming promotion should be her priority, she is torn between reality and a daydream.

Can these two get out of their own way long enough to realize they're the accepting home they've each longed for?
