A little about me

Is there anything better than a happy ending?

If you’re here, you’re like me and you can’t get enough of swoony, steamy romance. I’m obsessed with them too- so much so, I started writing my own tales of happily ever after.

As the introvert of my big family and living amidst millions of people in NYC, one of my favorite pastimes is wondering about the different people I meet. What drives them? What do they want out of life? Happiness? Sure. But what defines happiness for that person? Love? Security? Power? Honor? Appreciation? Money? So many people. So many stories.

As a reader— more than anything I want to ride the rollercoaster of a well told tale. I want to experience every emotion in the character’s world. I want a story that makes me forget I’m reading a book because the feelings the story evokes in me are so real. The long anticipated first kiss, the arrow of pain when the black moment of despair hits hard. I want all of it.

That’s what I strive to bring to my readers. An escape into the sweet and steamy adventure of falling in love.

My heroes are invariably hot alphas with a gooey center they only reveal to their forever women. My heroines are strong and smart— sometimes bold, sometimes naive and always protective of their hearts until the right men enter their lives and they can’t resist falling.

My Only One

 

InD’tale Magazine, Crowned Heart review 2021

My Only One is a heart pounding, palm sweating story from the first page, and it keeps this pace throughout…Ms. O’Shay has created amazing characters that readers will love. The suspense and the action that transpire is the stuff of movies. This is a novella, short, yet fast paced tale that will leave readers wanting more of Esme & Shane’s story along with his crazy family…readers will devour it in one sitting…on the edge of their seats! This is definitely one to keep on a “Favorites” list. -Viola Robbins, reviewer

The Marriage Ultimatum

 “Taking the concept of the ‘marriage contract’ to a whole new level. Lovable characters who seem different on the surface find they have more in common than they thought by having survived difficult pasts. They also have some explosive chemistry.”
