🎵 Pour a flute of champagne and queue up "S&M" by Rihanna. Because knowing what you want and being unapologetic about it? That's exactly what this invitation is about.

Your Invitation to the Caviar & Crimes Waitlist

Luxury romance doesn't tap politely. It arrives like a secret you weren't supposed to overhear. A whisper meant for someone else, a moment that changes everything, a door you weren't looking for… until it opened for you.

And now it's open.

This is your invitation to join the exclusive Caviar & Crimes Waitlist. The only place where readers get early access to the universe before the doors officially open.

Let's Talk About What Happens When You Read Luxury Romance

Luxury Romance requires your PTO days because the emotional hangover is real.

It's the kind that rearranges your schedule. The kind that makes you lie to your boss and say you "aren't feeling well," when the truth is you stayed up until five in the morning promising yourself "just one more chapter."

It's the kind of romance that doesn't fade when you close the book.

It lingers. 

On your skin. 

In your chest. 

Behind your ribs.

Because Luxury Romance is a full-body experience.

You don't just read about Allegra Norman standing on that Amalfi Coast terrace trying to categorize her night with Nick Battino into neat little boxes labeled "vacation fling" and "rebound." You know the moment he pulls her into his lap and shows her exactly why logic has no place in what they're building.

You don't just witness Cassie Norman in that federal courtroom defending her family's legacy. You cheer the weight of every word, the precision of every argument, the way her pulse spikes when William Kross walks into the room and everything she thought she had under control suddenly isn't.

You don't just observe Stella Norman orchestrating another flawless high-society wedding. You live the moment Pierce "Mack" McCray enters her carefully curated world and the beautiful chaos that follows when a black-ops operative teaches her that vulnerability isn't weakness—it's the most dangerous weapon of all.

This is romance that immerses you. 

It makes you crave more even as you're trying to catch your breath.

And that's exactly why you need to be on this waitlist.

Reserve Your Spot. This Isn't About Being First. It's About Being Inside.

I want to be clear about this waitlist.

This isn’t exclusivity for the sake of exclusivity. This isn’t manufactured scarcity or artificial urgency.

The Caviar & Crimes Waitlist isn't about making you wait. 

It's about giving you access: to the world, to the stories, to the universe before anyone else gets their hands on it.

It's about being inside.

Get on the exclusive waitlist and unlock early access to the universe of Caviar & Crimes.

This is where power collides with devotion, obsession rewrites every rule, and intimacy becomes the most dangerous weapon of all.

You're not here because of a plot twist (though we've got some head-turners). You're here because of what it feels like when two people yearn for each other in a world that demands control.

This Is Your Appetizer—A Taste of the World Before the Stories Begin

When you join the waitlist, you're not just adding your name to a list and waiting for January 2026 to arrive.

You're getting immediate access to something most readers will never see: The Caviar & Crimes Companion, a beautifully designed PDF that functions as your introduction to the universe.

Think of it as the appetizer before the main course. A taste of the world before the stories officially begin.

Here's what's inside:

Calendar drops, so you can schedule your PTO
I'm serious about the PTO days. The Allegra Norman trilogy drops January 2026. All three books. Same day. No waiting. No drip sequence. No cliffhangers that leave you hanging for months. You need to clear your schedule, and now you'll know exactly when.

The first thread in an unraveling you won't want to stop
This isn't just information. It's immersion. By the time you finish the companion, you'll already feel like you know the Norman sisters. You'll already understand the stakes. You'll already be counting down the days until you can read their stories.

Direct access to the world I'm building
Live links to the official Caviar & Crimes Spotify playlist. Links to my social channels where you'll get behind-the-scenes glimpses of the writing process. Links to blog posts that break down exactly what Luxury Romance is and why it works. And book covers with blurbs and premiere dates, so you know exactly what's coming and when.

This companion isn't a throwaway bonus. It's your orientation. Your initiation. Your first step into a world you won't want to leave.

You'll Be the First to Know When the Doors Open

Here's how this works.

The waitlist closes January 3, 2026. 

When the Allegra Norman trilogy drops later that month, waitlist members get first access. You'll get the email before anyone else. You'll get the links before they go public. You'll be reading while everyone else is still trying to figure out where to find them.

Because here's the thing about these books: they won't be on Amazon. They won't be in bookstores. They're only available directly from me.

I am nobody's "also bought." No thanks, Amazon.

This isn't about playing the algorithm game or chasing bestseller lists. This is about building something real with readers who actually want to be here. Readers who understand that some stories are too important, too immersive, too good to be diluted by a platform that treats books like widgets.

So when the doors open? Waitlist members walk through first.

Until then? Welcome to the beginning of your next obsession.

Meet the Norman Sisters (A Preview of What's Coming)

Let me introduce you to the women whose stories are about to ruin you for everyone else.

Allegra Norman
Chief Operating Officer of Norman Scientific, her family’s multi-billion-dollar empire. The woman who shows up to corporate events in designer suits that cost more than most people's monthly rent, commanding attention in every boardroom. Her life was mapped out. Picture-perfect wedding in a French chateau. Society event of the year. Everything arranged down to the last champagne toast.

And then it imploded.

She fled to the Amalfi Coast seeking anonymity and control. What she found was Nick Battino: ex-SWAT, private security, quiet confidence and watchful eyes. The kind of man who sees through every carefully constructed wall she's built. The kind of man whose version of protection looks different than most people's because he didn't just take down criminals. He took down an entire mafia syndicate.

Their story? It's not rescue. It's recognition. Two people who carry wounds the other doesn't flinch from. 

Seduction. Surrender. Serenity.
The Allegra Norman trilogy. January 2026.

Cassie Norman
Corporate attorney. The middle sister with the courtroom presence that makes federal prosecutors rethink their strategy. She's sharp, composed, devastating when she cross-examines. She's also recovering from betrayal. Her lover Ryan was married.

Enter William Kross. FBI agent. The man investigating the very organization that raised him. When he walks into Cassie's life, her perfectly controlled world detonates. And when she falls? It's the kind of love that forces you to choose between loyalty and law, between family and duty, between the oath you swore and the man you can't let go.

Before he goes undercover, William gets ink. Cassiopeia. Seven stars. Her constellation on his neck, so he can carry her love like armor into a world that could destroy him.

Pursuit. Protect. Preserve.
The Cassie Norman trilogy. Coming soon.

Stella Norman
The youngest. The glittering one. Global wedding planner who orchestrates dream events for the world's elite, where a single misstep could end careers. She's champagne on her lips, flashbulbs in her face, and secrets stitched into every gown.

Pierce "Mack" McCray walked away from black-ops intelligence work. Retired asset broker turned real estate investor. One last assignment pulls him back in, and Stella enters his life at exactly the wrong moment (or exactly the right one).

He teaches her hand-to-hand combat. Gun range precision. How to pack a go-bag. Not because she's helpless, but because the world he operates in requires her to be just as lethal. She teaches him how to love her. And he's the kind of man who will burn the world to keep her safe.

Disguise. Devotion. Decree.
The Stella Norman trilogy. Coming soon.

Three sisters. Three love stories. One family whose wealth is unquestioned, whose loyalty is unshakable, and whose love stories are as dangerous as they are unforgettable.

One saga that will ruin you for everything else.

This Is What Happens When Someone Reads Caviar & Crimes

I need to show you something.

This is what happened when a reader finished Surrender (Book 2 of Allegra's series) at 6:12 AM her time, 12:12am my time. She couldn't wait to tell me about it.

"I just finished the 2nd book!!!!!!! who would have thunk it?!!! yoooo when i say i was on edge..."

"Allegra and [REDACTED]... omg!!!"

"i'm still taken back by [REDACTED]!!! the bitch went straight 730"

"AND who the hell is [REDACTED]?!!"

"gurllllllllll"

"i'm all in!!! where do i pay?!! send the link!!!"

This is the energy. This is what the Caviar & Crimes universe does.

And you know what I did when she texted me this? I sent her the link to Serenity (Book 3) immediately.

Because as an author, you live with imposter syndrome. You wonder if anyone's really going to connect with these stories the way you do. If they're as good as you think they are. If the characters you've lived with for years will matter to anyone else.

And then someone texts you at 6:12 AM, all caps, demanding to know what happens next—and you remember why you wrote them in the first place.

That's what I want for you. That 6:12 AM text energy. That "where do I pay" urgency. That feeling of being so immersed in a story that you forget you were supposed to sleep.

Why Luxury Romance Readers Are Different

You've probably noticed by now that you're not like other romance readers.

You don't just want the falling-in-love moment. You want the after. You want to see how they navigate danger together, how they protect each other, how they choose each other when everything is on the line.

You don't want damsels. You want women who are already whole, who build empires, who make men rise to meet them.

You don't want formulaic. You want stories that respect your intelligence, that don't insult you with miscommunication tropes or third-act breakups over manufactured drama.

You want complexity. 

Strategy. Stakes that matter. 

Suspense that has teeth. 

Love scenes that are inevitable, unfiltered, and undeniably spicy.

You want wealth as the setting, not the story. 

Power as context, not conflict. 

You want secret societies and black ops and billion-dollar empires, and at the center of it all, two people choosing each other anyway.

That's Luxury Romance. That's what I'm writing. That's what you're about to experience.

And if you're reading this thinking "finally, someone gets it". You're exactly who this waitlist was created for.

The Door Is Open. But Not for Long.

The waitlist closes January 3, 2026.

After that, it's gone. The companion PDF? Exclusive to waitlist members. The early access when the books drop? Waitlist only. The first look at everything I'm building? You had to be inside.

This isn't manufactured urgency. This is real.

I'm not building a mass-market romance empire.

I'm building something intimate, immersive, and intentional with readers who actually want to be here. 

Readers who understand that some stories demand your full attention. 

Readers who are willing to clear their schedule, silence their phone, and disappear into a world where love is lethal, luxury is lived-in, and passion leaves scars.

This is your moment.

Reserve your spot.

This isn't about being first.

It's about being inside.
