Friends want to see you succeed, just never more than them.
Sadie and Willa have competed against each other on slalom courses in sunny Florida since they were kids. They were the two best skiers then, and they’re the two best skiers now. The only thing that’s changed is instead of playing Barbies in between runs, they now plot ways to beat the other. Turns out, there’s a fine line between friends and frenemies. Now twenty-eight, at the height of their careers and shining an international spotlight on water skiing, the media—and Sadie’s legendary family with strong ties to a sketchy mega church—have written the narrative of a rivalry more cutthroat than the sport has ever seen.
It would all be straightforward—who’s the better skier?—if only the women didn’t carry dark secrets from their pasts, both of which have the potential to thwart everything they’ve worked for. Add in the fact that Willa has long been in love with Sadie’s husband—the third member of their childhood trio—and they’re left with a combative season ahead. What no one knows, however, is that it will be far from a typical ski season, because at the end, someone will be dead and their lives will be changed forever.
THE SKIERS explores how far people are willing to go to reach the top, the complexity of female friendships, and the search for self amid incredible outside pressure.

Stories where one decision changes everything.
Have you ever found yourself in a “what would I do” situation? One where you had to make a split-second decision either following your head or your heart? I love exploring these complicated moments in my novels. Domestic suspense is very much about identity—how much we know about ourselves and those closest to us. My books feature emotionally-charged, page-turning plots and characters faced with impossible choices. There are secrets and lies and gasp-worthy twists…all perfect for your next binge read or book club pick.
Thanks for being here, following along, and supporting my writing journey!
