For those who know me by my other work, this is…different. I have been writing poetry since I was 11—the truest and most effective form of therapy I’ve ever experienced. These are a few of the countless poems I’ve written over the past 28 years. The following collection of verses all relate to death and mourning loss. They were written between 2004-2024 and are divided thematically, not by date. This is my word art—my paintings in letters, and I do not subscribe to one brand alone. I dabble in realism, impressionism, and the abstract. I hope you enjoy this journey into my tangled mind…

Daisy I worked my butt off through college and after I graduated in order to become a successful businesswoman. It isn’t easy in corporate America to be taken seriously as a young woman—but somehow, I managed to snag my dream job. Now, less than a year later, I’m on track for my next promotion. The only thing standing in my way is my colleague, Brodie Hobbs—and when I say he’s in my way, I mean it in every sense of the word.

Plus—I don’t think I’ve had a good night’s sleep since I met the man, as his handsome face and rock-hard body regularly appear in my dreams. When our boss sends us away on a weekend business trip to Hideaway Mountain, I’m determined to ignore Brodie—get the job done with my usual effectiveness and efficiency, and prove that I’m the one who deserves the promotion. The only problem is Brodie refuses to be ignored, and my body can’t help but respond to his heated glances. If those heated glances turn into touches—I’m afraid all my careful planning—as well as my heart—will go up in flames.

She’s so prim, proper, and uptight that I can’t help but tease her every chance I get. After getting to know her for nine months though, I’m beginning to realize that Daisy might not realize that I’m flirting with her—and perhaps I’ve annoyed her so much that I’ve missed my chance at something more. So, when our boss sends us on a surprise business trip to a small town in Colorado, I decide to seize my chance. I’m determined to prove to this girl that my joking and banter has always just been my way of showing her how much I like her, and how incredibly desirable she is. But Daisy loves a good fight, and refuses to take my word for it. When I tell her I’ll give up the chance at the promotion our boss has been dangling in front of us—for her—will she finally believe that she’s the one for me?

Welcome to the holidays in Hideaway Valley—where the festivities bring alpha men together with independent women, and age is nothing but a number. Dani I love my job as a therapist. Supporting patients as they work through trauma and heal feeds my soul. It’s the work I know I was born to do, so I left my job at a psychiatry practice in Chicago to open my own clinic. I’d only taken the job to make my toxic ex happy, and once I ended things with him nothing was stopping me from quitting. After our ugly break-up, I moved to Colorado, settling in a little town called No Name Creek. At long last I’m far, far away from my ex, and can finally live how I want. Unfortunately, now what I want I can’t have—Sargent Hayden James, a former Army Ranger suffering from PTSD. Though I’d like to treat and care for him in every way, that would be beyond unprofessional. He’s my patient, and significantly younger than me. Giving into my feelings would be very, very wrong. So, I’ll have to settle for treating just his mind, despite how much I long to treat his body. But when Hayden shares a spicy dream he had, starring me, will I be able to continue to deny my feelings? It may be wrong to give in, but the way he touches me feels very, very right. Hayden Dr. Daniela Rios has been trying to get me to share my dreams since I started seeing her for therapy months ago. Until now, I’ve been reluctant. Even though I’m committed to treatment for my PTSD, sharing the horrible nightmares from my experiences in the military is still something I have trouble doing. But then I have a dream I don’t want to keep hidden. I’ve desired my curvy therapist since the first time I saw her, and now that she’s also invading my subconscious mind, I’m done fighting it. Dani is a professional though, and damn good at her job, so I know sharing my dirty dream with her is risky. Can I convince Dani that we’re made for each other, and to forget about our age difference and doctor/patient relationship? I can always find a new therapist, but I’ll never find a new soulmate.

Welcome to the holidays in Hideaway Valley—where the festivities bring alpha men together with independent women, and age is nothing but a number. Kat I’m not sure what it is about the old farmhouse in Hideaway Mountain, but I’m determined to save it. The developer I work for, on the other hand, is determined to tear it down.

What I’m not prepared for is hunky, businessman Austin Walker—son of the former land owner. He’s already there when I arrive, and scares the crap out of me when I discover him in the rundown house. Once Austin tells me why he’s there, I can’t help but be drawn to him, and begin to wonder if he’s the real reason I felt so compelled to come here. I’m a good girl though, and determined to keep my distance despite the way he makes my heart flutter. But when we’re snowed in together with just one bed and the spooky old house makes me shiver even more than the storm, will I be able to keep resisting the pull between us? Do I even want to? Austin When I found out my father sold our family's land in Hideaway Mountain without even telling me, I was furious. He claims he didn’t think I’d want it just because I never wanted to work for his company, which is complete bull.

I need to see it one more time to say goodbye though—so, I take my first-ever vacation from the company I started in California to come back to my hometown. When I arrive, the new owner won’t let me on the property, but I’ve never been one to take no for an answer. I sneak to the farmhouse on Halloween, not anticipating I’d be trapped in a sudden snowstorm with the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen.
