My own, and every woman who is juggling family alongside working and also finding time for her creative passions! Fablehouse book two.

Pepper is a Hybrid Author of both Traditional and Self-published work. Her Pure Corruption Series was released by Grand Central, Hachette. I fell right in love with each member of the Marigold crew! This journey was not the best or safest journey and there were a few rough things that happen.I absolutely fell into this beautiful book - it's the perfect book to curl up with on a dreamy, sunny afternoon!
