About Val
Val is a romance enthusiast whose journey began with a broken ankle, eight weeks of bed rest, and a surprisingly prolific backlog of X-Files fanfiction (thank you, writers). Craving stories that didn’t revolve around Mulder and Scully, she eventually turned to books. She spent years devouring tales that ended in happily-ever-afters before she decided to write the books she longed to read but couldn’t find.
​
She and her family live in the Portland, Oregon area, and can be seen in the photo to the left.
​
Her debut, Headlocks and Heartbreak, will be available November 15, 2024 on KU, and e-books and paperbacks will be available on Amazon.

Headlocks and Heartbreak
In the high-pressure world of professional wrestling, Wade "Viper" Donovan is a seasoned champion facing what could be his last days in the ring. After a decade with Titan, the West Coast’s largest wrestling promotion, he finds himself at a crossroads. Once self-assured and charismatic, a professional setback shattered his confidence and he fears it’s gone forever. If he doesn’t get moved to the national level this year, he’s hanging up his boots for good.
Enter Monty, known in the ring as Romeo, a rising star with charisma, charm, and a heart that beats only for Wade. Freshly signed with Titan, Monty has been a fan of Viper for years and can’t believe his luck when they’re paired to work together. As they share the spotlight, Monty’s feelings for Wade evolve into something deeper, but Wade is haunted by his personal and professional past.
When a devastating crisis threatens to destroy what they’ve built, Wade and Monty must navigate their path to healing and decide if that journey will include each other.
