Five Siblings. Five Second Chances. One Unforgettable Family. Sometimes the greatest courage isn’t in leaving everything behind, but in staying to fight for love, family and the land that shaped your soul. Because some things are worth the risk of believing in them.

After twenty-five years in the creative design industry, Elle has turned her attention to writing stories that explore second chances and the making of families. She lives in East Texas with her husband and three rescue cats—a sixteen-year-old torbie named Miz Kitteh who rules the household with unwavering authority, and a two-year-old brother-sister pair of domestic longhairs named Shadow and Sunshine. 

"I believe the best romances are built on real stakes—where characters don't just fall in love, but fight for each other and the communities that shape them. My writing explores the intersection of family legacy, small-town resilience, and the kind of love that's worth risking everything for. I write about the places and people that anchor us, and the courage it takes to build the life you're meant to live." 

Elle writes contemporary romance novels that explore the healing power of love and the courage required for second chances. Her stories weave together emotional depth with authentic characters who feel like people you'd want in your corner during life's toughest battles.
