Celiac Rep in Dark Romance Books

Going to write from the heart today. It's so hard to find a community that really understands the pain of living with Celiac disease or gluten sensitivity... Especially here in the states

I got to enjoy Atlanta's first Gluten Free festival @mondaynight along with so many other amazing vendors. It has been packed and so lovely to meet people, including readers who voiced their love to see it represented ❤️

Selling One More Chance because I wrote my Hispanic FMC and their daughter with Celiac. We need more representation!!
