A little about me: I'm a Jersey girl who has lived on both coasts and now reside in a desert. I love crafting, I knit, crochet and sew. I'm obsessed with puzzles and right now enjoy working on the wooden puzzles to create flower bouquets. I'm an avid reader, mostly of romance (of course), and I'm in love with love stories.

Best Friends & Boyfriends

Check out my latest book! Follow the tumultuous high school dating lives of Michiko and her older brother Kenichi. Watch as they both fall for the other's best friend. Jake, Kenichi's best friend finally makes a move on Michiko his senior year before it's too late. The two keep it a secret from Kenichi, fearing his disapproval.
Meanwhile, Michiko's best friend, Britt, has always hated Kenichi. She finds him too overprotective of Michiko and a total flirt with the girls in their school. Kenichi has always been jealous of Britt and Michiko's relationship since they were very young kids, and over the years he's never appreciated Britt's opinionated, and head strong attitude. When things take an unexpected turn of events, the two find themselves crossing over that thin line between love and hate.
Will romance work out for these two Japanese American teens?
