A quirky rebel with a pen , determined to diversify romance, create strong females characters, and sprinkle her geekiness everywhere.
Shyla C**t grew up in Cincinnati, Ohio, but has lived a variety of different places thanks to her wanderlust, interesting careers, and marriage to a United States Marine. She's always loved books and wrote her very first novel at the age of fifteen. She keeps a copy of her first submission letter on her desk for inspiration. After a lifetime of traveling, she settled down and knew her time had come to write. Diving into her new career like she does everything else, with enthusiasm, research and a lot of prayers, she had her first book published in June of 2011. As a full-time writer, stay at home mother, and wife, there's never a dull moment in her household. She weaves her tales in spare moments and the evenings with a cup of coffee or tea at her side and the characters in her head for company. A self-professed rebel with a pen. Her goal is to diversify romance as she continues to genre hop, and offer up strong female characters.

A second-chance romance, a little small-town magic, and a hero with years of groveling to make up for.
Brie Cavanaugh has twelve months to make Holy Cow Cheese Co. a success—or admit her family was right about her all along. After years spent mastering artisan cheese making around the world, she's finally home and determined to prove she can build something that's hers.
What she doesn't need is Rye Boulanger.
Years ago, Rye chose his future over Brie and shattered the plans they made together. Losing his football career to injury was devastating, but losing Brie has been the regret he can't outrun. Now she's back, running the shop next door, and he's willing to do whatever it takes to earn a second chance.
Unfortunately for Brie, the magical town of Chance Falls seems determined to help him.
As old feelings reignite and Rye sets out to prove he's no longer the boy who broke her heart, Brie must decide what's more dangerous: risking the dream she's worked years to build—or risking her heart on the man she's never truly forgotten.
Because some dreams are worth fighting for. And some loves are worth fighting for twice.
Pour a glass of wine, grab a cheese board, and escape into a magical small-town romance packed with longing, laughter, and second chances. Perfect for readers who love heartfelt groveling, hometown charm, and irresistible happily-ever-afters. Perfect for fans of Lucy Score, Laurie Gilmore, and B.K. Borison.

✨ There’s just something magical about small towns… ✨
Maybe it’s the way everyone knows your coffee order before you even speak. ☕ Or how Main Street lights glow a little softer after the first snowfall. Maybe it’s the grumpy hardware store owner who secretly visits you at the video rental shop to banter … or the girl who swore she’d never reconcile with her ex but winds up having to hoar an event with him. ❤️
As a writer, I’m endlessly inspired by small ships, town gossip, local festivals , second chances, and the kind of love stories that feel like coming home and slipping into a bubble bath while you forget the world outside. The kind where hearts heal slowly, kisses happen under the moonlight, and happily-ever-afters are built one quiet moment at a time. So tell me… what’s your favorite small-town romance trope? 👀
🏡 Childhood friends to lovers?
🌻 Grumpy x sunshine?
🎄 Holiday romance?
🐴 Cowboy next door?
💌 Secret pen pals?
I may or may not be taking notes for future stories. ✍️💕
