Why I Wrote Addicted: A Falcon Pointe Novel

I’ve read a lot of romance books where the guy is the bad boy and the girl is the one trying to save him. And while I love a broody, tattooed man with a past as much as anyone, I started wondering… what if we flipped the roles?

What if the boy was good; quiet, kind, deeply wounded, and carrying trauma no one else sees?
And what if the girl was the one who had to unlearn survival just to remember how to feel?

That’s where Addicted began.

But it didn’t come out of nowhere.
It came from stories I’ve heard. People I’ve known.
It came from real conversations with friends who were trying to make sense of guilt, grief, shame, abuse, addiction, and still believe they deserved love.

It came from me, too.

Addicted is a story about trauma, healing, and choosing love – even when you’re not sure you deserve it.
It’s about the people who come into your life and see you in ways you’ve never seen yourself.
It’s about connection, pain, music, and the quiet moments that change everything.

Grady and Whitney are flawed. They make bad choices. They get it wrong. But they also fight, hard, for each other and for themselves.

I didn’t write Addicted to be a love story wrapped in perfection.
I wrote it because sometimes the most powerful love stories are the ones that come after the fall.

If this book speaks to you, I hope it stays with you long after the final page.
And if you see pieces of yourself in Whitney or Grady, just know this:

You are not broken.
You are still worthy of love.

Thank you for reading. Thank you for being here.
