Hi, I’m Tessa! I write about complicated men, strong women, and the kind of love that cracks wide open before it comes together. The slow burn, the late-night confessions, the tension that simmers until it finally breaks — those are my favorite kinds of stories. :)

I drink iced coffee no matter the season, tear up at my own epilogues (every time), and have a soft spot for guarded heroes who think control will keep them safe. I love writing the moments that feel too honest, too messy, too much — because those are the ones that stay with you.

If you’ve ever stayed up too late because you had to get to that one chapter — the one that hits you right in the chest — then I think we’re going to get along just fine.
