I wrote a book about love, loss… and being stranded on a deserted island

After years of writing, rewriting, and pouring my heart into this story—I can finally say Hate Wrecked is coming soon!

And today, I’m sharing the cover(s)!

Hate Wrecked was born from an obsession with a real Pacific atoll—remote, eerie, and full of secrets. Over the years, it’s seen everything from military occupation…to murder. I may never set foot there myself, but I wrote the next best thing: a love story haunted by past mistakes, anchored in forgiveness, and set adrift on an island that doesn’t want to let go.

I’ve been working on Hate Wrecked since 2021. It’s personal. It’s messy. It’s emotional. And it’s the kind of book I wish I could’ve read when I was learning how to let go of regret.

Here’s your first peek at the cover(s):

Ebook cover & Amazon paperback cover

Hate Wrecked is a romantic suspense novel about Riley, a broken (hopeful) musician, and Rowan—the bodyguard of her mother—and the man tasked to send her home. But when their boat crashes, the island becomes their only refuge—and a reckoning they can’t escape.

PRE ORDER HERE

Stranded on a deserted island. Forced to survive together. But can they survive each other?

Celebrity bodyguard Rowan Finn never expected his latest assignment to land him face-to-face with Riley Williams—the wild, reckless woman who once shattered his heart. But when their yacht crashes during a routine excursion, they find themselves stranded on a remote Pacific atoll, completely cut off from the outside world.

With no rescue in sight, Rowan and Riley are forced to rely on each other to survive the island’s harsh terrain, dwindling resources, and unforgiving elements. What begins as an uneasy truce slowly unearths something deeper. Old wounds resurface. Sparks reignite. But trust doesn’t come easy—especially when the past is as painful as the present is uncertain.

As Riley reconnects with her passion for music and Rowan begins to lower the walls he’s spent years building, the line between survival and something more starts to blur.

Until a chilling discovery changes everything.

When they stumble upon human remains—and a deadly truth tied to the island’s dark history—their fight to stay alive becomes a battle against those determined to keep their secrets buried.

If this sounds like your kind of read, The Author Agency will have ARCs! If you can read and post an honest review on launch day, I’d love for you to get an early copy.

Hate Wrecked is about forgiveness, redemption, and the ways we learn to survive—even when love feels like the most dangerous thing of all.
