Ansel and Gretchen are best friends—not siblings—and it’s important to Ansel that no one suggest otherwise.

Ansel knows two things for certain: how to wield a sword, and that he’s in love with Gretchen. Trained in combat from a young age, his dedication and skill are matched only by his commitment to keep her safe from any harm, even if it means risking his own heart.

Gretchen has grown up training alongside Ansel, forging a bond through shared struggles and victories since childhood. But when her estranged father suddenly reappears, her world is thrown into turmoil. Is this her chance to rebuild a broken bond, or is he only here to break her trust—again?

As their friendship is challenged and their feelings start to shift, Gretchen's father pulls them into a world of danger and betrayal. Will an old woman in the woods be their means of salvation? And what of their friendship? Will they risk it to discover if their bond could be so much more?

I write sweet, clean romance. Why? Because that's what I love to read, but over the years I've discovered it's quite a challenge to find wholesome romance that's also quality romance. I believe it's a genre that many people are looking for and too few authors are writing. My first novel, Just Ella, took me many years to write because I wanted it to be more than just a cutesy love story. I wanted it to have depth, to feel genuine. Hopefully I succeeded, but you'll have to be the judge.

I have Charlotte Bronte to thank for the courage to write novels. After being bombarded with assigned reading about women who justified abandoning either their families or their principles in the name of love, I had the great fortune of reading Jane Eyre. And that was it: finally a heroine who understood that being moral and making the right choice was hard, and sometimes it hurt, but it was still worth it. After rereading it several years later, I realized that if I wanted more books to exist with the kinds of heroines I admired, then I might as well write a few myself. My books are about women who face hard choices, who face pain and rejection and often have to sacrifice what they want for what is right. The consequences are often difficult or unpleasant, but in the end, doing what's right will always be worth it.

I was born in Utah, but grew up in Flagstaff Arizona and St. Louis Missouri, the fifth of seven children. I studied English and Theater in college. I now live in Idaho with my husband and five littles.

I believe there is no substitute for good writing or good chocolate. Fortunately, one often leads to the other.
