Hi, I’m Jenn. I write contemporary romance, romantic suspense, and action-adventure mysteries filled with humor, heart, and the kind of men who show up when it matters. From small-town romance to high-stakes adventures, my stories are for readers who love sharp banter, capable heroines, and heroes worth falling for. Sometimes there’s a little danger. Sometimes there’s a lot of coffee. Occasionally, there are questionable decisions involving teaspoons. Join the "Unblushables" for reader-exclusive extras, sneak peeks, new release news, and a little behind-the-scenes trouble from my writing desk.
Hi, I’m Jenn. I write romance, romantic suspense, and action-adventure mysteries for readers who love capable heroines, sharp banter, and men who know how to show up when it matters.
My stories may take you from a small-town café to a dangerous international mystery, but they all have a few things in common: humor, heart, characters worth rooting for, and relationships built on more than a conveniently timed grand gesture. I have a particular fondness for a hero who can handle his own problems—and knows when to stand beside a woman handling hers.
I began my publishing journey with a traditionally published romantic suspense novel before taking the leap into independent publishing. Today, I publish through my own imprint, Cheeky Amour Publishing House LLC, where I have the freedom to follow the stories wherever they lead. Sometimes that means contemporary romance, sometimes action and adventure, and occasionally a heroine armed with Grandma’s Bible and a teaspoon.
When I’m not writing, I’m usually spending time with my husband, whom I affectionately call Tall Man, enjoying music, gardening, or being supervised by our dogs. Coffee is a recurring theme in both my life and my books, which is probably not a coincidence.
I believe romance is strongest when both people are fully themselves. My heroines have choices, ambitions, flaws, and lives of their own. My heroes aren’t perfect, but they are present, capable, and willing to do the work. Whether the story is funny, suspenseful, or filled with adventure, I want readers to finish feeling that the journey, and the love, was worth it.
You can explore my contemporary romances and the True McLaren action-adventure series on the Books page.
I’m also writing paranormal cozy mysteries as JJ Peer, beginning with the Everglen Mysteries. If you enjoy magical small towns, humor, unusual neighbors, and a murder mystery or two, you’ll soon be able to visit Everglen and discover a different kind of trouble.
