You'll be the first to know when the ARC drops so you can join the fight! 👊🏾
What does it take to become the man you want to be?
Patrick Boss is a young gay man who’s tired of feeling powerless after a brutal mugging. When he stumbles into an underground fight ring, he sees the man who assaulted him lose to the champion. In that moment, a daring idea ignites: he will beat the champion to reclaim his manhood.
As the fierce "Skull Knight," Patrick sets his sights on the undefeated Diablo Blood—a dangerous enemy whose magnetic allure draws him in. Outside the cage, life complicates further with Angel Guerrero, his impossibly handsome, impossibly straight next-door neighbor, stirring feelings he can’t ignore.
With tensions mounting on both fronts, Patrick must confront his rivalry with Diablo and the intoxicating connection to Angel. For the first time, he’ll risk everything—his body, his secrets, his heart—to discover if love can survive beneath the mask.

I tell raw, character-driven stories about strength, vulnerability, and choosing who you are when the world tells you otherwise.
I’m a tomboy storyteller who loves writing with heart, sweat, and tears. Ever since I could talk, I’ve always had a story to tell. I’m currently working on You Fight Like a Girl, a five-part novel series that’s near and dear to my heart and my main creative focus right now.
I love reading and writing fanfiction as well as original work. When I’m not writing, I enjoy hiking, watching MMA, and learning self-defense. I’m also a bit of a health nut—my favorite probiotic drink is water kefir.
Newsletter subscribers also get early access to bonus content, including my alternate short story A Man’s Fight, along with other behind-the-scenes extras—and you can reply to my emails and actually chat with me. 🙂
