Some books arrive quietly.
Others insist on being written.
The Color of Love was the second kind.

This story began, as many of my stories do, not with a plot—but with a feeling. A question that wouldn’t leave me alone.
What does love look like when it’s real?
Not performative. Not perfect.
But chosen—again and again—after loss, betrayal, and courage?
This is the heart of The Color of Love, my newest contemporary romance and a new novel in the True Love series. You may enjoy other true love, clean romance books in the series>>
I’ve always been drawn to stories of second chances. Not the glossy, fairytale kind—but the ones that come after life has cracked you open.
The kind of love that doesn’t rescue you…
but meets you where you are.
Set against the lush, sensory backdrop of Panama, this novel is steeped in color, texture, and feeling—coffee plantations at dawn, tropical rainstorms that arrive with thunder and leave the world rinsed clean, emerald greens that seem to hold memory and promise all at once.
This is a love story for women (and men) who have lived.
Who know that true love isn’t about possession or safety alone—but about truth, respect, and choice.
Yes, it’s a sensual contemporary romance.
Yes, it’s deeply emotional and immersive.
But at its core, The Color of Love is about:
This is mature love. Grounded love.
The kind that grows slowly, like roots finding water.
Readers often ask me what defines a True Love story.
For me, it’s simple:
True love is not the absence of fear or pain.
It’s the willingness to stay open anyway.
The Color of Love sits perfectly within this series because it carries that same promise—while exploring it through a new emotional lens: color, creativity, land, and belonging.
If you loved my earlier True Love novels, this story will feel familiar in its soul… and fresh in its expression.
I believe love stories matter.
Not because they distract us from real life—but because they remind us what is possible within it.
I write romance for readers who want beauty and depth.
Hope and honesty.
Stories that linger long after the final page.
