Hi! I’m Debbie Cromack and I write romantic love stories. Readers who love my books…

🩷 Enjoy sweet, romantic love stories that have a Nicholas Sparks or Hallmark movie feel to them.
😉 Appreciate tasteful, on-the-page steam.
💔 Love a book boyfriend who is respectful, kind, and also a little bit broken.

On the personal side, I live in an old farmhouse that was built in 1817 and I like to decorate in a style I call vintage-antique-French-country-farmhouse. 😁

I have two dwarf Nigerian goats (Patches and Tiny) and a dwarf bunny (Nutmeg). They keep me quite busy and entertained.

When I’m not writing, I’m running my Etsy shop that’s filled with fun bookish gifts!

I also love Nicholas Sparks’ books and romantic Hallmark movies, especially at Christmastime. I have a large collection of mugs and enjoy hot cocoa (which I probably consume too much of 😄).

Welcome to my little corner of Instagram! It’s nice to have you here with me. 😊

I love animals. So I’m not sure why God made me sooooo allergic to dogs and cats. ☹

Since I live on a farm, it seemed to make sense to have goats! So I have two Nigerian dwarf goats (Patches and Tiny) and a dwarf bunny (Nutmeg). To be fully transparent with you, they are the stars of my social media! 😂

Patches is the multicolored one with black, white, and tan splotches. And Tiny (who is no longer tiny!) is the tan one with white spots.

The goats are mischievous and entertaining. Tiny was two pounds and Patches was three pounds when I got them. I bottle-fed them like babies. Since I never had my own children, my pets are my babies. Tiny is now much bigger than Patches and will eat his food any chance he gets. So I spend a lot of time monitoring their meal times. Tiny can be both ornery and loving. He’s kind of like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. You never know which personality you’ll get. 😆 Patches is my soulful goat. He’s tender and sweet and when he looks at you, you feel like he’s looking into your soul. 💕

I’ve had Nutmeg the longest. He’s the sweetest little fluffball. He’s in my office with me and he’s the best little buddy. 🐰

Ironically, while I’m not allergic to any of them, I’m apparently HIGHLY allergic to the hay they eat! Ah well. It is what it is. 😊

They’re often on my stories, greeting you good morning. When you see them, say, “Hi!”

Someone to Watch Over Me is a romance book for women over 50 who enjoy reading deeply emotional romance stories, characters who are lifelong friends-to-lovers, unrequited love, unexpected pregnancy romance, slow burn with payoff.

If this sounds like your kind of romance read, meet Angelo and Lucia.

Lucia has loved Angelo for almost her entire life. She thinks he sees her as a little sister.

He doesn’t.

But Angelo’s love has expressed itself through protection, restraint, and showing up rather than possession. Even when she drunkenly asks him to take her virginity, he refuses because he believes it would be wrong for her.

Years later, when she’s pregnant by another man and terrified, she runs to the person who has always made her feel safe.

Angelo.

Kiss Away Your Pain is a romance book for women over 50 who enjoy reading deeply emotional romance stories, characters with wounded hearts, unexpected second love, and stories about finding hope after devastating loss.

If this sounds like your kind of romance read, meet Candi and Enzo.

Candi already had her once-in-a-lifetime love. Then she lost him.

Four years later, one unexpected kiss awakens something she thought she’d buried with him—and the no-relationships man she intended to avoid begins trusting her with wounds of his own.

This isn’t a story about replacing the love that came before. It’s about discovering that a heart can honor one great love and still find room for another.

Someone Exactly Like Me is a romance book for women over 50 who enjoy reading a guarded hero celebrity romance with forced proximity/time together, a business arrangement, forbidden-ish attraction, emotional intimacy, and slow burn steam where falling in love happens long before either character is ready to admit it.
If this sounds like your kind of romance read, meet Nicco and Destiny.

She’s a romance author. He’s an Italian celebrity who’s agreed to become the hero of her next novel. Her one condition? She wants to write the real man behind the fame.

The problem is, the deeper she digs into Nicco’s heart, the more she realizes she’s no longer just writing the heroine.

She’s becoming her.

Untouchable Zane is a romance book for women over 50 who enjoy reading an age-gap romance of a celebrity hero with a wounded heart, an older heroine, emotional depth, and slow burn steam.
If this sounds like your kind of romance read, meet Zane and Desiree.

He dreamed about her for fifteen years. She has every reason to resist him.

Beneath the fame, desire, and twelve-year age gap is a love story about trust, wounds that success can’t heal, and what happens when someone finally sees the vulnerable man behind the celebrity.

Fall. A season of change. A season of magic. 🍁

‘Tis the season of the witch. 🧙 😉 by @debbie_cromack_author

In case you’re new here…Hi! I’m Debbie Cromack. I write contemporary romance about imperfect people finding the kind of love worth risking their hearts for.

My stories are emotional, romantic, character-driven slow burns filled with longing, heartache, friendship, family, and delicious worth-the-wait steam. I’ve been called the Master of Slow Burn—a title I happily accept.

I write characters with flaws of the heart: good people carrying grief, fear, guilt, old wounds, and all the messy things that make falling in love complicated. My heroes are masculine, confident, and sexy, with big hearts, hidden vulnerabilities, and understated romantic sides. My heroines are strong, sometimes feisty, sometimes awkward, and always human.

I published my first romance book at 50, proving it’s never too late to begin a new chapter. When I’m not writing, you’ll find me rearranging home décor in my old farmhouse, caring for my goats and bunny, or curled up under a blanket watching a Hallmark movie.

At the heart of every story I write is something I believe deeply: love should mean something. It should change us. Challenge us. Heal parts of us. Scare us a little.

And oftentimes, love hurts before the happily ever after. by @debbie_cromack_author

I’ve been in love with Angelo Mancini for as long as I can remember.
There’s just one problem.
He thinks of me as a little sister.

The closeness of our families made us friends before we were old enough to know what friendship meant
He became my protector, my safe place, and eventually, the man I secretly dreamed of spending my life with.
Then one tequila-soaked night in college, I asked him to take my virginity.
He said no.
Humiliated and heartbroken, I buried my feelings.

A couple years later, one failed precaution leaves me facing an unfathomable decision.
Terrified and confused, I run to the one person I’ve always trusted to anchor me when my world feels like it’s crumbling.
Angelo.

He lets me stay with him while I figure out what to do. He takes care of me when I’m sick, holds me when I’m scared, and reassures me he’ll be by my side through it all.
But living under the same roof with the secret love of my life carries its own kind of torture.
Because something between us is changing.
His gaze lingers.
His embrace holds on a touch longer.
After a lifetime of loving him, I’m beginning to wonder if there’s an ache he’s been denying too.
For the first time, I let myself believe a life with Angelo might actually be possible.

Except I’m carrying another man’s baby.

Just when everything I’ve ever wanted feels within reach, the uncertainty of what comes next could cost us the one thing neither of us can bear to lose.

Each other. by @debbie_cromack_author

Once-in-a-lifetime love.
I had mine.
And four years ago, I lost him in a car accident.

Piece by piece, I put myself back together. Built a successful career. Created a life that fulfills me.
I’m in a good place.

Then I meet Enzo Cipriani. And he flips my world upside down.
He’s gorgeous, charming, and an unexpected complication I have absolutely no time for.

One alcohol-fueled kiss at my best friend’s wedding awakens something inside me I buried four years ago.
Desire.

Swallowed by guilt, I run.
As strangers, we’ll never see each other again.
Until our jobs throw us back together.

He doesn’t do relationships. I don’t do one-night stands. Keeping things strictly business should be easy.
It isn’t.

The more time we spend together, the more I discover there’s far more beneath Enzo’s no-strings surface.
He trusts me with his wounds, and I find myself trusting him with mine.
Somewhere in late-night conversations baring truths we’d kept hidden, I realize I’m not the only one with something to lose.

And that terrifies me.

I already know what it costs to love someone with my whole heart.
I’m not sure I can survive paying that price twice. by @debbie_cromack_author
