BONUS EPILOGUE INCLUDED (in both audio and ebook)

“Be honest with me, Brian. Are we going on a cross-country killing spree?”

“I’d hardly call it a spree.”

Brian Sloane is a pure psychopathic monster… to everyone but Mina.

She was looking for a good man to scratch a particular itch but instead ended up bought by the violent enforcer of a submissive training house.

Against all odds, the villain became her hero. She was the light to his dark until the lights went out, and the darkness inside her came out to play.

Now they’re both killers, chasing the blood lust, running toward their demons, each hit job more dangerous than the last. From a twisted Easter hunt, to an explosive Fourth of July, from a deadly masquerade ball, to an even deadlier Krampus run, culminating in the Do or Die Valentine’s Day Kill that will either seal their doom or their happily ever after.

Do killers even deserve a happy ending?

Note: This is the Omnibus edition of the entire completed “Brian and Mina’s Holiday Hits” series.

Okay I FINALLY have the annual signed book sale set up. Why does everything always take ten times longer than you think it will?

I open my store generally once per year to sell signed books to my readers. If you’d like to order a signed book for Christmas please click here to go to my store: booksbykitty.shop

NOTE ON PRICING: The prices on my print books are going up a few bucks due to increased paper costs. So if you see they are a little more expensive in my store than on Amazon, etc. Please note I am NOT charging you extra for “signing”. The prices of ALL my paperbacks and hardcovers across the board will be raising soon in the retail stores, I just didn’t have time to get it done before I set up the sale. But signed book sales are labor intensive so I couldn’t afford to let the increased paper costs undercut me, particularly with the added labor. Thank you so much for understanding!

International People: Important… I WILL ship overseas but I don’t have capability to sell overseas directly in the store because I need to not estimate shipping and make sure I get EXACT so you aren’t overcharged or so I don’t undercharge and it end up cutting into my ability to make money. So if you are not in the US, if you want to order in my store PLEASE reply to this email and let me know what you want and I will invoice you separately after I’ve contacted my post office person and gotten an exact price for shipping for you.

Store is open NOW through November 15th.

I will be doing two orders and shipments… on November 1st I will order books I need from all the orders at that point and ship as soon as they arrive to me to ensure Christmas delivery (for US customers. I can’t guarantee anything for overseas because it’s out of my hands but I’ll do my best). If you want the best shot at getting your books by Christmas please order by October 31st. I will make a second order on November 16th after the store closes. These MIGHT reach you by Christmas (in the US) but it’s a bigger gamble.

NEW to the store this year:

Brian and Mina’s Holiday Hits in both hardcover and paperback (the omnibus “box set” book where the whole series is in one book)

The Perfection Glorious New Cover in paper and hardcover (I think this is my favorite cover ever)

Ruthless Devotion in hardcover and paperback

The Proposal in the new cover as well as The Sacrifice hardcover for the new edition on pre-order (there will also be object covers for the paperbacks for these but they won’t be in the store this year because they’re not ready yet)

Overflow from last year’s Mafia Captive Special Edition. I only have FOUR copies of these available for sale because I overordered to be safe last year. They are Limited Edition and will never be ordered again.

I also have some limited/discontinued items (please see menu bar at the top of the store for all these categories)

And I have bundles where you can buy the individual books of a series and get a discount on the bundle.

And an “Exclusive from Kitty” category for things that can only be purchased direct from me and aren’t in stores.

Grab your signed holiday books here: booksbykitty.shop

Store is open from now through November 15th.

Information about Ruthless Devotion:

Once upon a time a little boy gave a little girl a special valentine. 

But she rejected him because he was the weird kid. I was that little girl, and I shouldn’t still be paying for that rejection, but I am. 

As time went on his fixation with me only grew stronger. He was always there in the shadows.

Watching.

Waiting. 

And now he’s the powerful heir of a crime syndicate. My father owes him a lot of money and says I must marry him to save our family from destruction.

When we were children Aidan said he would marry me someday, but I knew he couldn’t if I said no. I was very wrong about that. 

My life as I know it is over, but my captivity to this ruthless man has just begun.

Warning: This is a dark Beauty and the Beast retelling with a heroine who has boundaries, trauma, and every reason not to fall headfirst for the morally gray man obsessed with her. Like Belle, she won’t be instantly soft, forgiving, or submissive. The Beast must earn her trust and atone for the harm he’s caused. If you want an easy, instant-love romance with a heroine who must be immediately “understanding of her captor” to be likeable, this isn’t your book.

Note: This is a dark stalker romance with organized crime and a forced marriage. This is a standalone with a guaranteed HEA. 

The easiest 5 star I have ever given!” -Faiza Daudo, Goodreads

Well written, engaging story and well developed characters, steamy slow burning tension building desires, violence, stalker, obsession and more” – Jenni, Goodreads

I ate this up! Loved the Jane Austen garden and Medusa statue. One of the better stalker romances I’ve read if you like those.” – Jessica Jang, Goodreads

Aidan is, hands down, the most enjoyable thing in the book. He’s an incredibly complex, conflicted man, and, despite everything he is and does, there’s a chivalrous, romantic soul buried deep inside him. I absolutely adored him and wanted Maddie to give him a chance. His love for her was absolute, and that love was the center of his world.” -Anij, Goodreads

If dark romance with obsession, danger, and just the right touch of chaos is your thing, Ruthless Devotion is a must-read. Aidan is intense, unhinged in the best way, and completely fixated on Maddie—yet somehow, you can’t help falling for him.”-Booksnliftsdiary, Goodreads

Dark, Twisted, and Addictively Compelling.” – Good Booking Girl, Goodreads

Maddie is strong, she is smart, and I love her. I’ll be honest I was not sure how Kitty Thomas was gonna get me on team Aiden but she did! I can’t wait to read more from this author!” – Katlyn, Goodreads

Tomorrow is the 15th anniversary of the release of Comfort Food, the OG Dark Romance. I literally forget Comfort Food’s book birthday every year. I’m such a bad book mother! But this year somehow I got myself together. LOL!

When this book first game out in 2010, there was no BookTok, no Bookstagrammers…back then it was bloggers. I sent it out to about 5 book bloggers… and from there, what happened was crazy.

To celebrate the 15th anniversary, Comfort Food is On sale for 99 pennies for a limited time at all the major ebook retailers:

“… Grabs hold of you from the first paragraph and never lets go.” – Pam Godwin, NYT Bestselling Author

It was just another Tuesday, really. I went to a conference to give a motivational speech for women. I woke up bound to a chair in a cold empty cell. My captor is a beautiful monster, offering me comfort in exchange for my obedience and punishment when I displease him.

He has never spoken a single word to me. He has other ways of communicating, of reducing me to the animal who only lives to obey his twisted whims.

He may be a monster, but he’s turning me into something not quite human as well, something that hopes some day he’ll say… anything to me.

1. BIG SKY(A Dark Contemporary Standalone). Regular price $5.99, LIMITED SALE PRICE: $2.99

(One of my darkest contemporary romances, with a bonus epilogue.)

I’d lost my high-powered ad executive job in the city and was deep in debt. I was about to be homeless when a sinfully attractive man offered me a job on his ranch that felt too good to be true.

I turned him down, but he wouldn’t take no for an answer.

Now I’m his captive, a mere servant on his beautiful ranch in the middle of nowhere–for my own good, supposedly.

And of course he wants so much more from me than domestic labor.

3. THE SACRIFICE (a dark captive arranged marriage romance): Regular Price: $5.99 LIMITED SALE PRICE: $2.99

I caught the bouquet at my best friend’s wedding. I wasn’t even dating anyone, so I was sure I wouldn’t be next.

Until someone from the past came back. We’d promised if neither of us were married by the time we were thirty we’d marry each other.

But then I’m taken captive by someone else and told I am the sacrifice, that I’m now property. A payment for a debt that has nothing to do with me.

Now I wish I could go back to that boring, safe life. Because this can’t possibly be my fairy tale.

NOTE: This is a dark contemporary standalone that occurs in the same world as The Proposal. This book can be read first or completely by itself.

Fed up with play kink, Grace Warner moves to an island that embraces voluntary enslavement to be with a man she met online. Within hours of her arrival, everything is ripped from her, and she quickly learns play is preferable to reality.

Asher Collins has spent the past year mourning and blaming himself for the death of his slave, Darcy. When Grace catches his eye at a showing, obviously abused, he becomes obsessed with buying her and finding a way to atone for his own past sins.

The problem is, she’s in love with her husband.

There are no lines August won’t cross to possess her, to claim her as his own. She will not move or sway him with those pretty tears. He’s suffered for centuries, and he will do whatever he must to make it stop—even if it means taking away everything and everyone she’s ever loved.
