Dating/Investigating
Austen, Ohio, Book 2

Etta

I’m that person who hides trauma behind thick layers of dark humor and questionable life choices. Everyone told me to move past my best friend’s murder and my father’s death, but I was stuck. That was until a sexy, mysterious investigator ruined my perfectly miserable routine.

Kent Morland is a total Golden Retriever with his sunshine, focus, and good hair. He’s the first person who doesn’t treat me like I’m breakable, but he’s also a massive distraction. I tried to focus on solving a murder, but Kent turned my life into a blur of awkward stammers and ethically questionable passion.

Hey, at least I’m still making bad choices, right?

I had one shot to prove I wasn’t a one-hit wonder. After solving an “unsolvable” crime, I landed a documentary deal. My brother’s wedding in Austen, Ohio, was the perfect cover to hunt for a fresh mystery.

I just didn’t realize the mystery would have a name and a sharp tongue.

The moment I saw Etta Tilney, I couldn’t tell if she was the victim, the villain, or the woman about to wreck my career. I wanted her. I wanted every broken, sarcastic piece of her. But as we entangled ourselves in bed sheets and evidence, the truth started to frighten me. Was I sleeping with the woman of my dreams? Or my primary suspect?

A twisting, comedic mystery filled with suspicion, misunderstandings, and an ending you won’t see coming.

Dating/Investigating is my current work-in-progress. Currently, its anticipated release date is for sometime in March or April 2026. Visit my blog for updates or subscribe to my newsletter below for exclusive behind-the-scenes content and more frequent updates on the publication of all my books.
