Author

Emotional romance for readers who love messy hearts, found family, healing, and love stories that stay with you.

I write romance about complicated characters, soft-but-damaged hearts, and the kind of love that feels terrifying, inevitable, and worth the risk.

From college hockey romance to dark secret societies, magical novellas, and second-chance love stories, my books are for readers who love tension, angst, softness, heartbreak, and hope.

Bad To Do

Love always ends in pain.
At least, that’s what Noelle Roper and Logan Stone believe.

She’s a British student trying to survive college, chronic pain, grief, and the belief that happiness was never really meant for her.

He’s an FCU hockey star who has spent years shutting people out before they can hurt him.

Neither of them is looking for love.

But some people get under your skin before you even realise you’ve let them in.

Bad To Do is an emotional college hockey romance about grief, chronic pain, mental health, healing, heartbreak, and learning that love does not have to be something bad to do.

Meet Natalie


Hi, I’m Natalie — a romance writer, chronic illness girlie, book lover, and firm believer that fictional men should come with emotional damage, questionable coping mechanisms, and a soft spot for the girl they never saw coming.

When I’m not writing, I’m usually reading romance, watching hockey, creating bookish content, or talking about the fictional worlds currently taking over my brain.
