White's first two novels were both published in 2010 by Berkley Books, an imprint of Penguin Group specializing in publishing erotica romance novels. Her debut novel, and Falling, Fly, was described as a "dark fable of desire between a fallen angel and a self-medicating neuroscientist in a steampunk hell."Library Journal named it one of the Best Sci-Fi Fantasy Books of 2010, and called it one of that year's "most unusual blends of supernatural fiction and urban fantasy." According to Publishers Weekly, the novel was "a trippy urban fantasy, an esoteric battle between myth and science told in floods of evocative prose."
