Her healing touch saved others—but who can save her?

Lyrielle has one purpose in life—to heal others. Kept in a tower by her aunt and only allowed to interact with those who need the healing power of her hair, she has lived the last six years separated from the world. Finally forced to escape the only way she can, Lyrielle begins her climb down the tower—but loses her grip.

Instead of falling to her death, she falls from her tower and out of her world, crashing into the waves of an ocean she’s never seen before. Now she must learn to trust the prince who pulled her from the sea, but she’s terrified to reveal too much of herself lest he use her the way everyone else has.

While searching for the mermaid who saved his life, Prince Tavric is shocked when he pulls a girl with impossibly long hair from the ocean. Confused by her sudden appearance in his kingdom, but drawn to her fascination with the world he takes for granted, Tavric is anxious to show her the wonders outside her tower. But his father is dying, and knowing he will take the throne all too soon, he worries if falling for Lyri means foisting a burden on her for which she cannot possibly be prepared.

When someone from Lyri’s world threatens to tear her from the new life she’s built, will Tavric be able to keep her safe, or will she be forced back to the life she fled?

A spellbinding and heart wrenching mashup of Rapunzel and The Little Mermaid, Tangled Sails explores the weight of our gifts and the strength of accepting help.

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.
