One chapter done today. Yay.

Maybe the million- and three-degree weather is a good thing. Keeping me focused on today's goal of 3 chapters. If the weather holds, this WIP draft will be done by Tuesday! :)

Really loving this story.

Wishing YOU joy and health in the new year.

A bit of news on our front: eXcessica has sadly decided to retire, so most of our books will be offline for a few weeks.

More news on the His Second Chance series.

We are very excited to announce that His Second Chance was rereleased on May 25TH and is now once again available on most retailers websites. And, it is for sale at the reduced price of $2.99,

It does take a few days for some of the retailers to get new books on their website, so if your favorite store doesn't have the books on release day, it shouldn't take many days before they do.

His Midshipman is scheduled to release, first time in print, on June 8th. This is the prequel to His Second Chance and it will be a free read!

Happy reading!

Free copies of Thom's Desires in exchange for reviews from The M/M Romance Group and Don't Buy My Love Program.

Fire Captain Thom MacDougall thought his life was perfect, until Lisa Moretti's kitchen caught fire, and he realized his husband, Fire Captain CC O'Brian, just can't get the sexy Italian out of his system. Lisa, recently divorced and enjoying her sexual freedom, falls for the fire team's youngest member, Foster Cody. Comfortable in their commitment, Lisa suggests a foursome with the two hot-as-hell captains, and the night is scorching.

Great to be GR friends, Sushinette!

Thank for the friend's invitation! :)

Very Short Excerpt From:

Thom silently closed the door to CC’s office. The lock made a barely audible click. The only weapon he had at hand was sex. Lust. Desire. It had to be enough. Taking a steadying breath, he turned.

Late evening sun caressed his lover’s profile.

His heart gave an awkward beat at the sight. So masculine. So handsome. So lost.

Mine. All mine. He would not give up this love.

Thom quietly slipped off his deck shoes and padded silently on bare feet to the window. Why the stealth? Stomping buffalo wouldn’t wake CC from his reverie. In an explosive movement, Thom slashed the curtains closed in front of CC’s face.

“What the fuck!” CC stumbled back, right into Thom’s encircling arms.

“I want you. Need you. Now.”

CC shivered. “Thom. God, Thom, we can’t. I… I…” He swallowed. Hard. “I want you, but we’re—”

“On the clock? Not anymore."

After this, the scene gets VERY steamy! I'm not sure Goodreads would be happy if I posted it here. ;)
