Do you love weddings?

With This Ring, a sequel to the Love Grows Series, can be read as a standalone collection featuring five couples, five romantic weddings, and five sizzling wedding nights!

Fans of the Love Grows Series have been asking for more about each couple’s wedding and what happened beyond. All the characters you know and love are here, but as in real life, weddings don’t always go smoothly.

Sacha and Gibson– Sacha’s estranged father shows up unexpectedly, throwing her into turmoil. But there won’t even be a wedding if her groom can’t get there in time.

Melanie and Spencer– An island resort wedding sounds like paradise, but with family drama, mysterious drones overhead, and the threat of bad weather, their special day might be anything but perfect.

Audrey and Silas– His best man dropped out, and her family isn’t totally on board with their impending marriage. What else could go wrong?

Dahlia and Levi– Dahlia’s ex-husband Trey isn’t as cool with her marrying Levi as he pretended to be, and her son Beckett has issues of his own. Will their love prevail?

Amara and Petro- Having a big family wedding is a blessing, until it isn’t…and battling grandmothers were not on the happy couple’s wedding bingo card.

Plus-an exciting bonus chapter at the end to wrap up the series. For now…

Glass & Gravel is poetry that doesn’t pretend everything is roses and honey.

This is a book for readers who know there’s a cost to seeing things clearly. For anyone who understands that talking honestly about grief, trauma, heartbreak, and rebuilding rarely comes out neat or polite.

Glass & Gravel is a collection of raw, uncompromising, and unflinching poems—paired with stark black-and-white illustrations that deepen its impact. These images don’t soften the words; they reinforce the themes of fracture, clarity, and the cost of confronting what breaks us.

It refuses easy consolations. It doesn’t offer a tidy narrative of healing. Rather, it accepts that healing isn’t linear and confronts the stops and starts, the cautions and doubts that come with trying to make something whole from what’s been broken.
