Ring by Spring
At Aletheia University, girls arrive wearing purity rings and pray to graduate with engagement diamonds. Except Abigail Lawrence.
Abigail isn’t dating; she’s auditioning. She is determined to study acting, even if it means her family cuts off their financial support. Broke and charming, she talks her way into a free room at a classmate’s seaside estate, living with three dudes, including the campus’ quietest hunk, Wyatt Abernathy.
But Wyatt voted against her moving in. He doesn’t want anyone to notice that he’s secretly training as a bartender (despite Aletheia’s rules against alcohol.) He fears his popular, fearless roommate will blow his cover.
He might be right because everyone is watching as she takes a feminist stance on her role in Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew. And her costar — Jon, the alpha male of the theatre department — plans to tame Abigail… or get her expelled.
Ring by Spring is a dual-POV, sweet romantic comedy with a sharp-eyed look at Christian college culture.
Releasing March 12, 2027.

The MRS Degree
Aletheia University educates America's most influential pastors. It's also where future church leaders find their wives.
Jordan Santos is new to faith, new to Aletheia, and has absolutely no idea how to reconcile her dream of becoming a pastor with her crush on the school's basketball star. But when campus worship king Danny Lamont needs a tutor, Jordan agrees to a deal that could teach her how to fit in.
The arrangement is simple: Jordan helps Danny interpret Genesis. Danny helps Jordan look like an ideal Christian girlfriend.
A fake-dating romantic comedy about Christian culture, purity, desire, and the radical act of asking who gets to lead—and who gets to decide.
