A dragon, a knight, and only one bed...
Happy Thursday, everyone! Arthur Dent said he never could get the hang of Thursdays. I have to say I agree with him, which makes me wonder why I keep releasing books on Thursdays!
But I've done it again, surprise! This time it's Corin and the Courtier, the long-awaited (at least by me...) tale of a grouchy dragon knight, his former fiancee's little brother, and only one bed.
I love this book. It took me forever to write, it probably gave me several gray hairs, and it drove my beta reader to drink.
That said...worth it!
I hope you enjoy it as much as I love it! :)

New Regency romance -- The Wrong Rake!
It's been a while since I visited the Regency, and it was so much fun to write this one! The Wrong Rake is a lot lighter than usual for me, but it has all the banter and steam you're used to. I hope you enjoy!
It's live today, and it's in Kindle Unlimited for those of you who use that.

Surprise Mismatched Mates!
The Alpha Contract went live this morning a day early, because I can never wait to press the publish button!
Brook needs an alpha mate to satisfy his ultra-traditional family, but he doesn't want one chosen for him. His solution? Hire his own, so he can call the shots. And it works. Kind of. (Part of the time...)

Not being able to feel pain might sound like heaven… but it’s a living hell.
After enduring more than a year of imprisonment and experimentation, Ash is finally free—but not unscathed. Unable to feel pleasure or pain, and without any memories of his life before his ordeal, he’s at the mercy of his rescuer: an alpha werewolf who promises he’ll protect Ash no matter what.
Drew is handsome, caring, and kind, but he might not be all he seems, and he’s suffering his own ill effects of his briefer imprisonment. When he burst into Ash’s cell drenched in blood after ripping their torturers to pieces, Ash looked into his eyes and didn’t see anything but safety.
But he’s dangerous. And if he can’t control himself, Ash could suffer a worse fate than the one he escaped…
Lost Touch can be read as a standalone and has new main characters, but it closely follows the events of Lost and Bound and is better read in series. Contains knotting, amnesia, pack politics, and a human who’s willing to offer himself up in every way to help the alpha werewolf who saved him. This series does not contain mpreg. HEA guaranteed.

A Totally Platonic Thing is available now
I'm so excited that this one is out there in the world! I've been planning this follow-up to The One Decent Thing for a while now. :)
It's available on Amazon and in Kindle Unlimited: https://readerlinks.com/l/2128269/gr
Friends know all your faults and love you anyway. But what happens when you cross the line between friends and…more than friends?
Chris
My straight roommate and I are totally not dating. Sure, Lucas and I watch videos together—yes, those kinds of videos—and sometimes fall asleep in the same bed afterward. And yeah, I bring coffee to his lab every day so I can get my hug fix. But at night, I’ve been out clubbing and trying to forget that my ex-boyfriend was using me. I'm so lucky Lucas puts up with my drunk shenanigans. Until he doesn’t—and makes it impossible for me to hide what I really want. But it’s all platonic. Right?
Lucas
Chris means everything to me and I’d do anything for him. But one too many middle-of-the-night rescue missions with him falling-down drunk makes me lose my temper. Bigtime. Once he's sober, I threaten to put him over my knee and give him what he deserves. I expect him to tell me to go to hell…but instead he blushes and squirms. He wants it. Badly. And now I don’t know what to do. It should’ve been a one-time thing. But seeing Chris that way—touching him that way—has me hooked. Because my own reaction isn’t exactly platonic either…
A Totally Platonic Thing is a steamy M/M new adult bisexual romance with two roommates who are totally, like, not dating. At all. Even though they’re basically an old married couple. And also the adult videos and the, ahem, discipline. But that doesn’t count. HEA guaranteed.

Once a Gentleman
Hello lovely readers! At very, very long last, Once a Gentleman is out in the world. I know I've been promising it for way too long. I hope you enjoy it!
Penniless, friendless, and with nowhere left to turn after his family’s ruin, Kit Hewlett can’t afford any more disasters. When a rakish, too-handsome gentleman—and Kit’s own clumsiness—cause him to lose his position as a bookshop clerk, Kit has no choice but to accept the gentleman’s offer of employment as his secretary.
Andrew Turner serves honorably in the Royal Navy, but when ashore he wastes his fortune and his time on an endless round of drinking, cards, and…other pleasures. He appreciates his new secretary’s slim body and pretty green eyes more than he ought, but he’s also struck by Kit’s quick wit and clever mind. To Andrew’s shock, he finds himself wanting more than a tumble. But that’s inconvenient. It’s irritating. And Kit won’t bed him anyway.
Trying to convince Kit that he’s more than just a debauched wastrel takes some doing, but once desire overrides Kit’s common sense, their attraction explodes into passion. Just as Kit dares to believe in Andrew’s love, Andrew’s ship is sent on a mission to the Continent. Will separation, worry, and fear tear them apart or will love bind them to one another forever?
This is the second book in a series, but it can be read as a standalone. Contains debauchery galore, a footman who wants to murder the butler, love letters, and gratuitous references to Gothic novels…and of course, a guaranteed HEA.

Lost and Bound, Mismatched Mates book 6, is out today!
Hello lovely readers! I'm so excited to announce -- surprise! -- that I have a new Mismatched Mates book out today. I didn't expect to release another book in this series so quickly, but the characters grabbed me and wouldn't let go!
I hope you enjoy it as much as I loved writing it. It has new characters, but as you'll see, they're both intimately connected to the Armitage pack...
You can grab it here: https://readerlinks.com/l/1843593/gr
And you can check it out here on Goodreads for more info: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...

First Blood -- now available in KU
Blood is a necessity, but love is a luxury they can't afford...
Vampire enforcer Victor Schmidt doesn’t have time for distraction. His enhanced senses can track human blood in or out of a body, but it doesn’t usually smell like oranges, honey, and temptation. And it’s not usually coursing through the veins of a beautiful back-alley rentboy. That should make it easier, right? Pay, bite and be on his way.
While prostitution isn’t Laurie’s dream job, someone has to take care of his sister and her kids. But being a blood donor to a tall, dark and brooding vamp isn’t part of his career plan. Until he agrees…and it’s far more pleasurable than he could have imagined.
Nurturing isn't in Victor’s wheelhouse, yet he finds himself tucking the all-too-tempting boy into bed. And feeling things he shouldn’t be. When Laurie's attacked, it's almost a relief: breaking necks is way more Victor’s style and he’s all-too-happy to kill. But Laurie being kidnapped wasn't part of anyone’s plan.
Now Victor's determined to save Laurie at any cost. Can he bring them both out alive, or will they die before they’ve even shared their first kiss?
This book is set in the world of the Mismatched Mates series, but it stands alone. However, look for cameos of your favorite characters from the other books in the series.
