Hey there, I'm Shari!
A Southern belle with a love for both sweet and spicy stories, I write witty and heart-warming romances that help my readers escape the mundane and stressful moments of daily life.
In 2008, during the writers’ strike in Hollywood, I began reading paranormal romance, romantic suspense, and contemporary romance novels by the dozen. I even began proofreading for some of my favorite authors when my brain wouldn’t let me skip over the typos. Through that process, I learned how to write the stories that lived inside my head.
My second-ever submission, Christmas Curveball, became my first-ever published manuscript back in 2012. Since those early days, I’ve had eight different novellas traditionally published under two different pen names.
I live in North Carolina with my husband and son where I spend my days reading, writing, volunteering, and navigating life as a spoonie.

Drawn to the Wolves
The pack’s alpha has finally found his fated mate…and she’s terrified of wolves.
Wolf shifter Callan Mohan has a powerful connection to his pack. As alpha, he can sense if something is wrong—and when he feels panic coming from an unknown source, his instincts tell him she’s someone to be protected at all costs. Rescuing a stranger from two wolf shifters is easy. Helping her move from fear to acceptance of the animals—and him—is a challenge.
Kate Ballard’s attraction to her mysterious rescuer is instant. That she falls for Callan so quickly isn’t surprising—his presence puts her at ease, and the connection she has to him makes her feel safe almost immediately. He’s the man she didn’t know she was waiting for.
It’s only a matter of time before Callan has to tell Kate the truth. And find out, once and for all, if her love for him is enough to overcome her fear.

Christmas Curveball
When newly-single Rachel Tanner finds out that pro pitcher Kevin Ganlin has come home to recover from an injury, her heart skips a beat. She’s loved him from afar since her preteen years, never bold enough to let him know.
Kevin is less than thrilled when Rachel shows up at his doorstep. She’s his best friend’s little sister and officially off limits. Besides, he’s staring early retirement in the face, a one-man pity-party with no interest in anything more serious than quick flings on the road. Until an icy mishap lands Rachel cozied up on his sofa, irresistible in his practice sweats.
A little game of Truth or Truth reveals much more than Rachel had ever dared to hope and leads to a make-out session that leaves them both panting. But can she trust that he’s truly changed his ways? This Christmas, Kevin will do anything to make Rachel see she’s the one for him.
