Jessica writes steamy, heartfelt love stories about ambitious women and the people who fall head over heels for them. Her romance obsession began with strong influences from Jane Austen, Meg Cabot, and early 2000’s rom coms. In November 2021, Jessica was selected as a Pitch Wars mentee for adult contemporary romance. Her debut novel, FOR ONE NIGHT ONLY, released on January 7, 2025 from Berkley/Penguin Random House. FOR OUR NEXT SONG, a companion novel, is set to release January 13, 2026.
In addition to writing, Jessica has a passion for music—she’s a mezzo soprano with a BA in Music and a deep love of Broadway, but fortunately has never been a rock star. Her spare time is spent reading everything she can get her hands on, going to concerts, watching Sci-Fi and Fantasy series, trying new cookie recipes, playing cozy video games, and exploring the Pacific Northwest, where she lives with her spouse and their magical reindeer herding dog. She can be found with an iced oat milk latte in hand regardless of the weather.
