Anchor 1

I made choices. Messy. Soul-shattering. Forbidden choices. The kind that could burn everything to the ground.

From the outside, my life looks perfect. Devoted husband. Two beautiful kids. Even a perky ass at thirty-nine.

But inside? I’m drowning. In silence, in guilt, in a version of myself I barely recognize.​ A pretty train wreck held together with smiles and lies.

Then Dylan F*cking Hayes crashes into my world. Rugged. Addictive. Off-limits. He makes me feel alive. Wanted. Seen.

One problem—I’m married.

Now I have to choose—Stay in the life I built… or risking it all for a man who isn’t mine.

Secrets unravel. Hearts shatter. No one walks away untouched.

Because not every love story is a sunset. Some are wildfires.

JINXED HEARTS isn’t just about love or healing. It’s raw. Bold. And every shade of grey. A story that dares you to question the life you’re living… to tear it all apart… and to start again.

About
About
Meet Francesca

Francesca writes spicy, messy, heartfelt love stories that will burn before it heals. When she’s not dreaming up morally gray characters—or reading about them—she’s indulging in tacos, ice cream, and cat naps. 

Why does she write? It’s both her escape and childhood dream. And when life gets really messy, (just like her character Jenna) writing is the one place she has complete control.

 

The chaos fades… time stops… and for a little while… nothing else matters.

Behind The Scenes

😴 She takes her naps seriously. This book wouldn't exist without them.

🖊️ To keep the drama on the page, she writes under a pen name.

🍫 She's probably eating a snack right now.
