Exposed is live.

Blake and Ruby start in a place that looks simple on the surface. An arrangement. Clear lines. Clear expectations. But the more time they spend in each other’s orbit, the less those lines behave. What begins as transactional slowly shifts into something harder to name and a lot harder to control.

It started out as smut with minimal plot, mostly just a baseline to guide things. Funny how that seems to shift and an actual plot starts materializing. This week I drafted the next few shorts in their story, and I will drop a new one each week.

Or something involving Gianna and Rick, I don’t think their story is done either. They have more fantasies to explore.

Now, about the next book.

A Shame to Wreck -I really need a better title- is currently in revisions, and this one is a different beast. It is not shaping up to be a short. It is a full-length, smutty, psychological dark romance, and it is taking the space it needs.

It’s also driving me insane, in the best of ways, naturally.

The draft is complete. The character arcs are locked. What I am doing now is tightening the emotional screws, refining motivations, and making sure the psychological descent hits exactly the way it should. This story deals heavily in shame, desire, and the ways people learn to survive inside dynamics that reshape them.

For now, Off the Books: Exposed is out in the world, and Blake and Ruby’s story is finally yours to step into.

Stay curious, and a little dangerous.
