Debut Romance Novel Available Now!

My first novel, Shoot Your Shot, came out on March 14 from Evernight Publishing. It’s very angsty and very spicy, just the way I like ’em. Order here from one of your favorite ebook sellers!

Roxie Nowak is a former basketball player, with a great job in tech and her own swanky place. She doesn’t date, because what’s the point? Men always want someone petite, pillowy, and pastel—everything that Roxie isn’t—so she sticks to casual hookups, and life is good.

As a hot lawyer and a romantic to boot, Chris Dunn should have no trouble finding love. But a gaping hole at his center, left by childhood hurts, prevents him from having the type of relationship he seeks. He knew Roxie years ago, when her basketball career ended, and she inspired him to take the reins to his career.

When Chris moves back to town and into Roxie’s building, their friendship and mutual attraction deepen. They finally give in with blinding intensity, unaware just how combustible the mix of her avoidance and his insecurity can be—until one vindictive ex-lover lights a match.

Early praise for the book:

“The steamiest book I’ve read all year, Fiona Ember’s Shoot Your Shot absolutely sizzles.”

– Goodreads review

“A wonderful, spicy read with plenty of of steamy and romantic scenes. But what had me unable to put it down was how connected I was with the leads.”

– Goodreads review

“I absolutely adored this book. Although there is plenty of action, it is a very character driven, or character growth driven book and both the hero and heroine are very relatable in their imperfection … It’s a very steamy book and I absolutely loved these scenes, they were just beautiful.”

– Goodreads review

“One of the most remarkable aspects of this book is the perfect blend of thought-provoking character dynamics and the way they evolve emotionally throughout the story. The honest portrayal of the vulnerabilities and complexities of love adds depth to the story, making the characters feel authentic.”
