Hi! I'm Mary
Love that you are here.
I write teen romance for anyone who loves flawed characters, big feelings, and love that feels a little too intense—in the best way. My stories always feature guys who are a little obsessed and fall harder every time.
When I’m not writing, I’m a university student usually curled up with a romance book, watching anime, or jumping headfirst into yet another hobby I’m convinced will become the one (I have at least seventy years to figure it out). Right now, I’m into making charm bracelets.
If you’ve read any of my books—thank you, truly. Because of you, I get to do what I love, and that means more than I can put into words. And if you’d like to stay in the loop on new releases, extras, and behind-the-scenes updates, make sure to sign up for my newsletter.
