Hi, I’m Vonda.

I write kissing books and am emotionally invested in fictional people.

I’m a Washington, D.C. native writing contemporary romances filled with confident women, complicated men, chosen family, laugh-out-loud moments, and enough spice to keep the pages turning.

When I’m not building worlds, I’m probably reading a thriller, dreaming up my next series, or explaining why my fictional people absolutely needed that scene.
