WELCOME TO MY STAND-ALONES
My stand-alone books are the books I have to write – they don’t fit into a series, but I can’t get the characters or stories out of my head. Sometimes, my stand-alone ends up becoming part of a series because I can’t stop writing about the characters or I get a new idea that fits into the universe. Each book is different. Check out the descriptions to find the right one for you!
Imagine meeting a stranger one day, only for that stranger to say, “I’m your future wife.” This is exactly what happens to Carter when she heads out of town for work. There’s one problem with this: Carter is already married, and not to this stranger.

When Carter meets Ryder outside of a café, she looks exactly like a younger version of the stranger who has given Carter some specific instructions about being at this exact café at this exact time because it would change Carter’s life.
Does Carter believe in time travel? Can Ryder possibly be the woman she should have been with all along? Join Ryder and Carter as they go on a journey through time, risk their lives, and maybe even fall in love.

Quinn has no idea why a short trip to a small town turned into her moving there and buying an antique shop, but after five years of waiting, her answer walks right through the shop’s door.
Leaving the big city, Abby Brennon, a best-selling author, moves back home after looking for the quiet calm that comes from living in a small town but also something else that she can’t quite describe even to herself. When she walks into the antique shop and sees Quinn Jordan, things start to make sense.

That photo has both Quinn and Abby curious about its origin, and soon, they’re having visions of a shared past that feel so familiar, they must be real. Another photo of two other women brings about more visions, and it doesn’t take Quinn and Abby long to realize that these are visions of their past lives together.
Over centuries, they have found each other time and time again. They’ve fallen in love and passed that love onto the next version of themselves until they’re standing in that antique shop, wondering if they’re drawn to each other now because of their past, or if there is something real between them today.
Join Abby and Quinn as they go on a journey discovering that they’ve been many women throughout history, always finding each other and that epic kind of love that has always been timeless.
