Will love wait?
Your author photo hereHello, I'm Marisa
I've always believed the best love stories begin somewhere unfamiliar, among new faces in big cities and cobbled streets. I love writing stories with a female protagonist who is tough but doesn't know it yet.
When I'm not writing, I'm planning my next trip, or binging unhinged reality TV. I'm an educator in New England, and where I live with my family and two southern brown dogs.
xo, Marisa
