Out of concern for my readers, I offer the following content notes about my books. All of these stories are standalone romances, meaning that they end happily for the central couple and none have cliffhangers.
- Funny Guy: on-page sex and alcohol use; profanity (so very much profanity); poverty, parental domestic violence, and financial abuse in backstory; a minor character being sexually aggressive; passing references to grief and COVID.
- Chick Magnet: on-page sex and alcohol use; profanity; on-page animals in medical peril (they all survive); passing references to animal illness and death; grief over past loss (grandmother); situational depression, family tension, and off-page therapy; references to Internet harassment and COVID; a business in financial trouble; gaslighting; an incident of stalking.
- The One You Want: on-page sex and alcohol use; profanity; references to anxiety and trauma; a character with Alzheimer’s in assisted living; on-page night terrors and therapy; extensive political discussion
