I'M JESSICA

I write romance with heat, humor, and heart. Heroes with hot accents are my specialty. When I’m not writing, you can find me bellying up to a bar in the South’s best restaurants with my husband, Ben, reading books with my adorable daughters, Gracie and Madeline, or snuggling up with my 70-pound lap dog, Martha.

A Carolina girl at heart, I fantasize about splitting my time between Charleston and Asheville, but for now, I call Charlotte, NC, home.

howdy!

i'm so glad you're here!

FUN FACTS

1. Historical romance will always be my first love—I’m a huge history buff and am obsessed with anything Elizabeth Hoyt or Tessa Dare writes—but contemporary romance currently has my heart.

2. I only took one creative writing class in college, which is a huge regret!

3. Spicy scenes are my favorite kind to write.

4. I will forever be a 90s country girl at heart. Shania, Tim, Keith, Trisha - love them all!

5. My real-life romance tropes are age gap (14 years!) and workplace romance. Ben & I met working on a trading floor in my prior life in finance.
