If you’re new to my work, Caramel & Steel is the best place to begin.
It sits at the heart of the Platinum Chocolate Universe and reflects the kind of stories I tell—stories about grown love, second chances, friendship, faith, and the quiet courage it takes to begin again after life has reshaped you.
Set between New York and New Jersey, this revised and expanded novel follows a woman rediscovering herself—and love—later in life, while anchored by a circle of women whose bond is as essential as the romance itself.
Their sisterhood offers laughter, honesty, strength, and refuge, reminding us that love doesn’t happen in isolation—it’s nurtured in community. You don’t need to know anything else before opening this book. Just come as you are, settle in, and let the story unfold at its own pace.
