One hot North Carolina summer, Daphne Saito and her boyfriend, Sutton James, encounter awkward physics geek Greta Donovan, a fellow college student at elite Cameron University. But while Daphne sees that Greta is someone worth befriending, Sutton’s motives are far from pure.
A retelling of Shaw’s classic Pygmalion, and filled with unexpected heroism, Love and Entropy reveals what can happen when we let our vision of what others should be cloud our vision of who they are.
Love and Entropy is a prequel to the novel Entanglement, which picks up the story of Daphne and Greta in LA.

It’s cover reveal time! And here is the cover for our upcoming Chick Lit book FROSTED COWBOY by Charlene Ross… Stroll on over to Traveling With T for the official cover reveal with an excerpt from the novel!
“Frosted Cowboy is a smart, sassy, hilarious debut novel, and Charlene Ross is a writer to watch!”—Claire Cook, New York Times bestselling author of Must Love Dogs
Laney Delaney was living the dream. She had a fabulous fiancé and a career as a couture wedding dress designer. But after catching her (not-so-fabulous) fiancé cheating and being accused of upstaging one of her brides at a wedding, Laney finds herself with no boyfriend, no job and no plan.
After some serious soul searching, Laney is determined to start over. She embarks on a design career that takes her from a Rodeo Drive boutique to a flea market stall, but it’s worth it—even if it means she has to suck up to her childhood nemesis for help.
At the same time, three very different men vie for her attention: a masseuse/screenwriter with an unfortunate reputation, a stable fireman who just doesn’t spark a romantic flame, and the fireman’s ridiculously hot co-worker whose illicit under-the-mistletoe kiss still burns Laney’s lips.
Professionally and romantically, Laney is on the verge of reinventing her life and finding her true passion—but can she learn to trust again and believe in herself?
