I’m beyond thrilled to announce that Some Like It Deadly — Book 3 in the Going Royal series — is officially live!

Richard Prentiss thinks he’s just getting a new assistant. He’s wrong. Very wrong. Kate Braddock isn’t just here to organize his files or fetch his coffee—she’s secretly assigned to protect him. And he has absolutely no idea. Spoiler: chaos, confusion, and sparks are about to ensue.

The threats aren’t theoretical either. Someone is targeting Richard’s best friend, Armand, and the royal family he serves. Danger is closing in, and Kate will do whatever it takes to keep him alive… even if Richard would rather argue about paperclips than admit he needs protection.

This updated edition comes with fresh edits, new sizzling scenes, and all the tension, romance, and laugh-out-loud moments you didn’t know you were waiting for. If you’ve been dying to see a very oblivious hero meet a very competent—and slightly terrifying—bodyguard, this is the book for you.

Blood Brothers fans, the moment has arrived: the audiobook of Lure is officially out!

Lure, the second book in the BLOOD Brothers series, is now an audiobook — and it’s more intense than ever. Feel Grace’s fear. Hear her desperation. Live every heartbeat, every secret, every danger… as if you’re trapped right beside her.

Narrated in powerful duet style by Brooke Daniels and Noel Harrison, this 8.5‑hour ride brings every twist, danger, and longing to vivid life.  If you thought reading Lure’s printed edition was intense — hearing Grace’s desperate bid to survive, find her sister, and confront her captors in her own voice (and theirs) is an entirely new level. Her nightmare becomes heartbreakingly real.

Series: Book 2 of the BLOOD Brothers. Read in order (Burn first, of course).
Warning: Reverse harem, dark themes, trauma. Definitely 18+.

I’ve mentioned before that paranormal is one of my favorite genres to write, but here’s a fun fact: urban fantasy was one of my first true loves. Ever since I devoured War for the Oaks by Emma Bull (a lifetime ago and still iconic), I’ve been hooked on worlds where magic hums under the surface of the everyday. Add in a dash of romance? Even better. Urban fantasy with a romantic edge has my whole heart.

So, let’s rewind to one of my earliest and dearest creations—The Chance Monroe Adventures. This series has been with me through everything. The first book, Earth Witches Aren’t Easy, will always have a little extra magic for me. It was one of the very first full-length novels I ever completed—way back in 2001! (Yep, back when floppy disks roamed the earth and “the cloud” was just that fluffy thing blocking your sunshine.)

Here’s the wild part—Earth Witches Aren’t Easy has lived more lives than a cat familiar. My hard drive bricked itself and took the entire manuscript with it. Poof. Gone. So what did I do? Exactly what writers do best—rolled up my sleeves and rewrote it from scratch. Every spell, every snarky quip, every ounce of Chance’s fierce, fight-the-fates energy. And you know what? It came out even stronger the second time around.

This series has everything I love about paranormal storytelling—witches, mayhem, a little mystery, and a heroine who refuses to take “no” from fate, demons, or anyone else. It’s sassy, a little dangerous, and packed with those “I can’t believe that just happened” moments that make me grin while I’m writing them.

Now, I don’t have print versions of the series (yet!), but Chance Monroe Adventures is officially on my makeover list. Fresh, shiny covers are coming—because let’s be honest, even witches deserve a glow-up now and then.

So, your mission—should you choose to accept—is to check out Chance Monroe Adventures, rediscover my urban fantasy/paranormal roots, and maybe send a little witchy energy my way while I work on those new covers.

Old-school charm, spicy magic, and a heroine who knows how to throw a hex? Yeah. Count me all the way in. winks

Over the past few months, she’s watched the men she once called her “latest” captors become something else entirely—her fiercest allies, her deepest weakness, and the only ones she trusts when everything goes to hell. They move like a unit, fight like wolves, and bleed like men who’ve been broken and rebuilt too many times.

The fourth book in the gripping Blood Brothers series is here. If you haven’t read Burn, Lure, and Own now’s the time to catch up—because we are closing in on the endgame. Everything is bigger, hotter, and more dangerous.

Previously in Blood Brothers:

Previously in Blood Brothers: Rescued from human traffickers, stunning model Grace expects freedom and wants desperately to find her twin sister—but what she gets is a team of dangerously skilled men who saved her… and don’t plan to let her go.

Own opened with Grace and Bones on the run along with Goblin as Lunchbox, Alphabet, and Voodoo dealt with an invasion at their safe house in France. From there, the two groups remained separate for a few chapters as Bones and Grace managed to bridge the distance between them and the others worked on tearing apart the trafficking operation in the region.

Even as Bones and Grace grew closer, he still didn’t let her touch him though he took care of her. The two protected each other, when they finally reunited with the team, they continued their investigation into the wealthy participants like Maurizio Gallo.

They also come face to face with enemies of the team from the past, one who betrayed them and another who might have. They also rescue another group who were being held for sale. Eventually, after a break in Paris at a friend’s place, they close the books on several of these enemies.

Lunchbox and Grace take their relationship to the next level, and he tells her his real name: Legend. She also confesses that she’s fallen in love with all of them, while they don’t say the words back, it’s clear they are very invested in her. A message that is driven home at the end when she and Alphabet are on the way back to Montana while the team takes care of other potential dangers. They receive a call from Doc who needs their help, and while she has no compunction about helping to protect their family as they have helped her with hers, Alphabet reminds her that she is theirs too.

Now, in Oath:

Grace supports her guys as they protect Doc and his friends, before they resume their hunt for her sister. When she is ready to set her plan into motion, they are right there, supporting her in their unique way while making sure she can handle what’s coming.

What happens next? Grab your copy and find out!

Blood. Fury. Desire. That’s how our oath was made—and how it will be kept.

Y’all, I’m screaming.

Once again, the brilliant Stephanie Heinritz has knocked it out of the park — and I couldn’t be more excited to share the official cover for OATH, the penultimate book in the BLOOD Brothers series!

This cover is everything.
His expression — deadly calm with secrets underneath
The tattoo — a symbol of the bond, the past, and what’s at stake
The items around him — every piece tells a story
The promise of danger, loyalty, and reckoning

OATH is a story of betrayal, trust, the weight of loyalty and brotherhood (as well as the bond between sisters), and the oaths we keep… or break. The hunt continues, the stakes have never been higher, and no one escapes untouched.

Are you ready to return to the hunt?
Ready to make your oath?

Make sure to mark your calendars for October 24, 2025 — and don’t wait to preorder:

“Rules, Roses, and Rivals” is HERE and available in Kindle Unlimited!

Who says you can’t go back? And what does happen when you flip the script?

I’m thrilled to announce the release of Rules, Roses, and Rivals – the first book in a bold new What If series that dares to rewrite everything you thought you knew. What if the girl with the plan met the boy who was never part of it… just a little too soon?

Frankie’s senior year was supposed to be simple: ace her APs, dodge drama, and count down the days to graduation. But a chance summer meeting with a boy who shouldn’t be part of her story changes everything. Suddenly, she’s not so untouchable—and not so sure about the rules she’s always lived by.

This fun, fierce, and emotionally charged reverse harem romance is packed with love, rivalry, secrets, and second chances. If you’re ready to see what happens when hearts break the mold…

Don’t forget to read the foreword—and buckle up. Because this What If is about to become your next obsession.

Welcome to October, Friends—Where the Vibes Are Cursed and the Books Are Glorious

Spooky season is officially here, and we’re leaning all the way in. Last month was a whirlwind—thank you for all the love on Aides: The Unseen! If you missed either, now’s the perfect time to catch up. Aides in particular is giving strong “haunted but hot” energy—exactly what October ordered.

But we’re not slowing down.

This is Book 1 in The Untouchable What If Edition. What if the girl with a plan meets the boy who wasn’t supposed to be in it—and everything starts to unravel?

The penultimate book in the Blood Brothers series is finally here, and it’s bringing all the intensity, loyalty tests, and heartbreak you’ve come to expect. Sharpen your swords—emotionally and otherwise.

And in case you missed it:
Some Like It Scandalous got a fresh new edition in September, ready to be devoured. Perfect if you like your steam with a little sass and scandal.

On the Road Again (Sort Of):

Mini and I are heading to Wild and Windy in Vegas mid-month! If you’ll be there, please come by and say hi—we’d love to see your beautiful faces (and your book totes). We’ll have books, art, stickers, and maybe even a few surprises.

That’s all for now—October is shaping up to be equal parts thrilling and terrifying (just how we like it). As always, thank you for reading, for sharing, and for being part of this wild ride with us.

More soon. Until then… stay spooky.
