Hi, I’m Tayci — author, designer, and lover of big feelings in small towns.
I write grounded, soul-deep romances filled with slow burns, earned emotion, and settings that feel like characters of their own. Whether we’re wandering the red rocks of Arroyo, the scenic views of Aspen Valley, the rugged ridges of Hawthorne, or somewhere beyond Canyon Ridge, my stories always explore connection, belonging, and healing in unexpected places.
If you love:
✔️ emotionally satisfying romance
✔️ small-town charm without the cheese
✔️ slow-burn chemistry
✔️ cozy, cinematic vibes
…you’re so in the right place.
A story about breaking free — and finally letting yourself be loved.
Megan didn’t mean to fall for her best friends brother and the town firefighter.
Ryan didn’t expect someone like her to force him to face his demons.
But the best love stories always start with a spark.
Walk into the warm kitchens, red canyon sunsets, and heartfelt moments of Arroyo — and fall in love with a romance rooted deeply in place and heart.
Inside Ember you’ll find:
• Cozy autumn setting
• Earned emotion
• Hope, healing, and soft intimacy
• Banter, chemistry, and depth
"Today I'm reclaiming myself — one step at a time." -Megan
