She Didn’t Come to Paris to Behave…

Rachel Manning’s story is finally out in the world.

This book has lived with me for a long time. Some of you met Rachel years ago in Untouchable, and somewhere along the way she stopped feeling like a side character and became someone I needed to understand better.

Impulse Control became a story about wanting things that don’t fit neatly together. About trying to figure yourself out while everyone around you already thinks they know who you’re supposed to be. About love, ambition, identity, and making choices before you’re fully ready for them.

Writing it hurt a little (and in some cases, it hurt a lot).

The last two chapters made me cry while I was working on them, which probably tells you everything you need to know about Rachel.

She’s messy. Emotional. Restless. She gets things wrong. But I love her for trying anyway.

I hope if you read this book, you find a little bit of yourself in her story too.

Thank you for being here, for waiting so patiently, and for continuing to support these books and characters. It means more than I can properly explain.

Now excuse me while I nervously wait to see everyone’s reactions. 😅

✨ COVER REVEAL: This Shot Was Worth the Wait 📸

I’m beyond excited to finally share the cover for Impulse Control, Book One of Elusive: Love in Focus — Rachel Manning’s story.

Some of you met Rachel back in Untouchable in 2019, where she promptly walked into the series and refused to behave. 😅 What I didn’t expect then was just how important she would become—not only to Frankie and the guys’ story, but to me and so many readers.

This series has lived in my head and heart for years, and parts of it have existed even longer. More than five years ago, Wander Aguiar and I actually did a dedicated photoshoot specifically to capture the right look and atmosphere for these characters and this world. Seeing everything finally come together now feels a little surreal… and absolutely worth the wait.

And yes—you do not need to have read Untouchable to dive into Rachel’s series, but longtime readers will definitely recognize a few familiar faces along the way. 😉

Huge thank you to:
📸 Wander Aguiar for the stunning photography
🖤 Andrey for coordinating everything behind the scenes
✨ The models for bringing these characters to life so perfectly
📚 Val at Books and Moods for helping turn the vision Steph and I dreamed up into something this gorgeous

I’m honestly obsessed with how this cover turned out and I cannot wait for you all to step into Rachel’s world. Paris, photography, and a complicated emotional journey… what could possibly go wrong? 👀

The Untouchable Series: What If — Book 2

It’s here.

Letters, Lace, and Lies is officially out in the world—and if you thought one choice couldn’t change everything… this book is here to prove you wrong.

The What If world has always been about the fragile balance between decisions and consequences. About the moments that feel small—until they fracture everything.

And this time?

“You don’t scare me off. You don’t outgrow me. And you definitely won’t lose me.”

The threads pull tighter.
The stakes cut deeper.
And the truth refuses to stay hidden.

“I’m not going anywhere either. When I said cradle to grave, it covered everything.”

This story digs into loyalty that refuses to break, love that doesn’t behave, and the quiet, dangerous kind of devotion that lingers—even when everything else is unraveling.

If you’ve been waiting to see how far this world can bend before it snaps…

This is your moment.

“You could date the rest of the world. You could pretend you didn’t want me. You could push and test and run. But I would still be right here.”
