hi there!

I write books

I’m Tiana and I’m the author of closed door adult romcoms and and sweet YA. I have two YA books out now (MATCH ME IF YOU CAN & HOW TO SPEAK BOY) from Macmillan, and two Adult spy romcoms from Berkley/Penguin Random House. The first is called THE SPY AND I and the second is MR. NICE SPY (coming in November). I’m represented by Eric Smith at P.S. Literary. Math is my nemesis and chick flicks are my happy place. Supposedly, I’m too old for boy bands and the Disney channel, but I love them anyway. I don’t blog, but if you want a little piece of the action, be sure to subscribe to my newsletter. I like people who subscribe.

what they’re saying

“This mistaken-identity spy romance is fast-paced, mixing twists and turns with humor and not a small amount of chemistry.”

Library Journal

“Fast-paced and tremendously fun … Make sure you buckle up, because you’re in for a fabulous ride!”

India Holton, national bestselling author of The Secret Service of Tea and Treason

Jo Segura, author of Raiders of the Lost Heart

“Glimmers of humor leaven the suspense and the love story is just as likely to get hearts racing as the mystery. The end result is a first-rate romantic thriller.”

Publishers Weekly

“Explosively fun! MR. NICE SPY has everything I want in an action rom-com: swift pacing, high stakes, and a hot guy. The chemistry will blow you away.”

Carlie Walker, author of The Takedown

“A sky full of sparks erupt between pyrotechnics engineer Andee and CIA agent Chan in this fun and fast-paced thrill ride. Pick this one up when you want a dose of adventure in your beach read. Smart and addictive!”

Laura Taylor Namey, New York Times bestselling author of A Cuban Girl’s Guide To Tea and Tomorrow

“Full of heart-pounding suspense and swoon-worthy romance – MR. NICE SPY has it all! Thrilling action, exciting twists, compelling characters, and sexual tension galore combine to create a can’t-put-it-down quality that kept me reading late into the night. A suspenseful, romantic must-read!”

Bradeigh Godfrey, author of The Followers

“A superb thrill ride with plot twists aplenty. With heaps of derring-do and explosive chemistry between the leads, this is an incredibly satisfying treat.”

Publishers Weekly, Starred Review

“Chan is devilishly charismatic and capable, and his hearing loss works seamlessly as a critical part of the story. Sparks fly and guns blaze in Smith’s latest.”

Kirkus Reviews

“Two unique main characters (a heroine in the engineering field and a heart with hearing loss) only add to the appeal of the story. This has it all: romance, intrigue, mistaken identity, and a race against time.”

Library Journal

“Smith does a masterful job mixing high-stakes action with rom-com tropes and witty banter, leading readers on a superb thrill ride.”

Publishers Weekly, Starred Review
