Strife is best known for her sweet and clean (no intimacy) holiday romance and loves writing tough and humble male leads with feisty but kind-hearted women who show them just what theyâve been missing.
Sheâs a hopeless empath who needs the quiescence of hiking in the Cascades, camping, and snowboarding to recharge. Strife enjoys reading on rainy and snowy mornings with a Christmas-scented candle burning and a fire going, even if itâs just the fake one in her RV.
Strife lives with an amazing man who can build anything he puts his mind to and a rescued dog that steals socks and chases the vacuum. Together, they travel the countryâfrom the golden plains of North Dakota to the warm ocean of the southern Texas coast and back to the green valleys and vineyards of Oregon. Anywhere is home as long as theyâre together.
