Stories by the Author
Voice of a River
Genre: Young-Adult Sapphic Regency Romance
When Addison suddenly rescues a drowning, voiceless girl named River, she finds herself in too deep with affections she cannot deny.
If you asked my Mother, she would say, “Addison was always meant for a prosperous marriage.“ Though if you asked me, the prospect of marriage without love made as much sense as Once Upon a Time without Happily Ever After. And though I’d wished for it countless times, I had never fallen in love.
​
And then I saw her, the siren beauty who walked into the river only to drown in it.
​
From the instant I pushed her to the shoreline, my heart was won by her existence; however, mine just appeared to aggravate her. The otherworldly woman with no voice beguiled me faster than I could earn her name: River.
​
Despite her apparent disdain, her every piercing stare, the intention of her closeness, the purpose in her brushed touch, begged to tell me a different story.
If I am to discover the true nature of her sentiment, we will have to learn to communicate— and with the way those moon-stricken eyes kept leering at me, it is proving to be a dizzyingly difficult task.
