This just in: You don’t want to be the last to know.

At 12:00 a.m., a new threat emerged.

It answers to the name Deadly Mimic.

A journalist names a serial killer on live television.

He responds.

Now the story isn’t just being reported—

It’s escalating.

This is a thriller with dark romantic suspense vibes where protection feels like possession, attraction is a liability, and every broadcast could trigger the next body.

The killer is listening.
The FBI wants silence.
And the man assigned to protect her may be the most possessive of all.

I’m so excited (and a little feral) to finally announce my next release:

Knot On Your Pucking Life

A standalone Snowvale Howlers Omegaverse romance.

This book marks my very first step into the Omegaverse, and it’s been living rent-free in my head for a long time. Wren and the Howlers showed up while I was in the middle of another series, completely uninvited, and refused to leave me alone. It all started with a snowstorm, hockey masks, and a chase I couldn’t stop thinking about… and from there, the story just took over.

The best part?

Knot On Your Pucking Life releases this Friday. Yes—this week.

This is a complete standalone featuring:

reverse harem / why choosehockey romanceomegaverse dynamicswinter isolationprimal chasefound familyand a fiercely independent heroine who refuses to be defined by instinct alone

As always, consent is non-negotiable, and the emotional core of the story centers around autonomy, choice, and building bonds that are chosen—not forced by fate.

This may be my first Omegaverse, but it definitely won’t be my last. What else can I do when the characters start talking and refuse to shut up?

I can’t wait for you to meet Wren and the Howlers, and I’m so excited to finally share this world with you.

BREAKING: COVER REVEAL

What would you risk to uncover the truth—your career, your safety… or your heart?

If it bleeds, it leads.

And right now, the city is bleeding.

Revealing today: the cover for Deadly Mimic — Fatal Attractions Duet, Book 1.

She’s the face of the evening news, a reporter who built her career exposing corruption and dragging secrets into the light—until a series of meticulously staged murders takes over the headlines.

She gives the killer a name.

The Auditor.

He doesn’t just kill—he leaves behind records, proof, and a message. And once she says his name on air, he knows she sees him. Worse—he wants her to know he is listening.

Her news director, Flint Carter, knows the story is in her blood—and that it’s getting her killed. He wants to pull her off the air, to put her life above the headlines, even as the FBI demands silence.

Assigned to protect her is Agent Elliot Brewster, a man caught between duty and desire, trying to keep her alive while everything between them grows more dangerous by the second.

In Deadly Mimic, attraction isn’t a distraction. It’s a liability.

Every look feels suspect. Every touch a mistake.

And the most terrifying question isn’t who the killer is…

It’s: who can you trust when everyone is watching?

Deadly Mimic Fatal Attractions Duet — Book 1

Releases February 27

Preorder is live now

Deadly Mimic (Fatal Attractions Duet, Book 1) is officially up for preorder.
Releases February 27th
Cover reveal coming soon

What would you risk to uncover the truth—your career, your safety… or your heart?

If it bleeds, it leads. And right now, the city is bleeding.

As the face of the evening news, she’s built her career exposing corruption and dragging truth into the light—until a series of meticulously staged murders dominates the headlines. She gives the killer a name.

The Auditor.

He doesn’t just kill—he leaves behind records, proof, and a message. And once she says his name on air, he knows she sees him. Worse—he knows she’s listening.

Assigned to protect her is FBI Agent Elliot Brewster, who believes the killer is reacting to her broadcasts in real time. His solution is simple: silence her before she provokes another body.

But silence doesn’t stop a man like this.
It invites him closer.

As the murders escalate and the line between reporter and target disappears, one truth becomes impossible to ignore:

This is no longer just a story.
It’s a conversation.

And the only way it ends…
…is if she finishes it.

Excerpt

Waiting had never been natural for me.

Waiting resulted in a loss of position. Waiting let someone else decide the pace. Waiting allowed the story to bleed out in front of you while you watched the moment pass.

Waiting was where stories went to die.

Why a duet?
Because this story was never meant to end when the killer is named. Because obsession doesn’t resolve neatly. Because attraction—real, dangerous attraction—changes the rules.

Fatal Attractions is a duet because this isn’t just about catching a killer. It’s about escalation. Consequences. What happens after lines are crossed—professionally, morally, emotionally.

Book one asks the question:
What happens when you’re seen by something dangerous?

Book two answers it.

Deadly Mimic is Book 1 of the Fatal Attractions duet—a pulse-pounding dark romantic thriller where love is as dangerous as obsession, and the line between hunter and hunted blurs in the shadows.

Content Warning
This novel contains mature themes intended for adult readers, including violence, murder, explicit sexual content, and psychological suspense. Reader discretion is advised.

Okay, friends, I can FINALLY say it…

OWN is now available in audio!

And honestly? What better way to kick off the new year than bundled up, avoiding the cold, with a hot audiobook in your ears and absolutely zero responsibilities beyond pressing play.

This book has always held a special place in my heart, and hearing it brought to life was next-level amazing. Brooke Daniels and Noel Harrison narrate OWN in duet, and wow — they brought the emotion, tension, danger, and heat in a way that still gives me chills (the good kind ).

If you’ve already read Own, listening to it adds a whole new layer. The fear hits harder. The quiet moments cut deeper. The dangerous ones? Let’s just say they linger. And if audio is your jam, this one was made to be listened to.

Grace’s fight to survive, protect her sister, and navigate the men who both guard her and challenge her feels just as raw and intense in audio as it does on the page — maybe even more so when it’s whispered directly into your ears.

As always, thank you for being here — for reading, listening, reviewing, recommending, and loving these characters as fiercely as I do. You make it possible for these stories to keep growing, and I’m endlessly grateful for you.

So grab a blanket, a warm drink, and let OWN keep you company.

Stay warm. Stay sassy. Happy listening.

PS: Want something else to look forward to? Aïdes the Unseen is also up for preorder now — just in time for a Valentine’s release!

The time has finally come—the Blood Brothers saga has reached its dramatic, heart-pounding conclusion with the release of Dare, Book Five of the series! From the first page to the final battle, this journey has been one of love, loyalty, darkness, and redemption. I want to thank every single reader who has supported the series, who has been with the Blood Brothers every step of the way.

This journey started with a broken woman and a brotherhood that was willing to fight for her. From dangerous secrets to deep betrayal, from protective love to the ultimate sacrifice, Blood Brothers has been a rollercoaster—and the final book delivers the payoff you’ve been waiting for.

What Happens in Dare ?

In the explosive finale of the Blood Brothers saga, we finally come face to face with the darkness that has been chasing our heroes since the very first book. The search for justice and family is at its peak, but every victory comes at a cost.

The woman they’ve fought for, protected, and loved is no longer just surviving—she’s fighting back. With her fierce protectors by her side, she faces the ultimate test of courage, loyalty, and love. As the past catches up to them all, the stakes couldn’t be higher, and in the end, only two things matter: love and survival.

Why Blood Brothers ?

The Blood Brothers series has been a dark romance, a military adventure, and a story about found family all in one. The chemistry between the characters is intense, the world-building is gritty, and the emotional stakes are impossible to ignore. The saga weaves together elements of romantic suspense, action, and raw emotion in a way that will leave you breathless—and it’s all leading to this final chapter.

If you’ve been with the brothers from the beginning, I want to thank you for sticking with me through every twist and turn. If you’re just discovering the series, I’m thrilled to have you join the ride.

A Special Audio Release: Own (Book 3)

For those of you who love audiobooks, I have some exciting news: The audio version of Own (Book 3) will be available on December 30th! If you’ve been waiting to listen to this action-packed, emotional journey with the Blood Brothers in your ears, now is your chance to immerse yourself in the world of Grace, AB, Bones, and everyone else in a whole new way.

What’s Next After Dare ?

While Blood Brothers may be complete, there’s always more on the horizon! Keep an eye out for upcoming projects and more exciting releases, from dark suspense to gothic mystery and beyond. And if you’re looking for something to fill the Blood Brothers-shaped hole in your heart, don’t miss the sneak peeks and exclusive content over on my Patreon. There’s a lot more to come!

Thank you, as always, for your love and support. I can’t wait for you to dive into the finale of Blood Brothers, and I’m beyond excited to share what’s coming next.

With gratitude and excitement,

Heather

It’s here. The moment fans of the Blood Brothers have been hurtling toward since Burn. The stakes are higher. The danger is deeper. And the fire? It’s about to scorch the whole world.

Dare, the fifth and final book in the pulse‑pounding Blood Brothers series, has revealed its cover and it’s as fierce as the journey that brought us here.

Grace has learned that survival was never the whole story. She thought if she kept her head down and her heart locked tight, she could make it through. But survival isn’t enough anymore, not when every step closer to her sister drags her deeper into a war with shadows that refuse to die.

The men who once saved her — her protectors, her lovers, her chosen family — they’ve shown her what it means to be wanted, to be cherished, to be fought for. She’s saved them as much as they’ve saved her. And now, with every piece of her heart on the line, she dares the world to try and take them away.

This is the endgame. Everything they’ve bled for, everything they’ve loved, everything they still fight to protect comes to a head in a finale that will leave you breathless.

It’s finally here, and yes—things get messy.

In Some Like It Secret, Sebastian attempts something between a rescue, a romantic kidnapping, and a “please don’t walk away from me again” campaign. Meredith brings the heat, the backbone, and a refusal to be anyone’s secret ever again. Add in meddling royals, security breaches that deserve their own investigation, and chocolate with weapon-grade levels of seduction, and… well. This book escalates quickly.

They’ve got history. They’ve got chemistry. They’ve got terrible timing.
And now they’ve got a chance to make it work—if the world doesn’t implode first.

Dive in, enjoy the chaos, and snack your way through every sinful, decadent moment.
