Nash
Three!
The countdown to Deadlocked continues with our spotlight on Cian Nash. For those wondering, it’s pronounced “Kee-an”.
Deadlocked – Excerpt
Cian Nash, the most aggravating man I had ever met and a royal pain in the ass. He was also the sexiest man I had ever laid my eyes on and I had lusted after him from the moment we first met. I had stumbled across a dead body (it was Bryce’s, long story) and he was the homicide detective assigned to the case. Although I didn’t know it at the time, he was also a werewolf and the liaison between the police force and the Cimmerian. Since that day, our lives have become intertwined, something neither of us necessarily considers a good thing.

Tess
Only four days left!
It’s Tess’ turn as the countdown to Deadlocked continues.
Tess is Harry’s BFF. The two were raised like sisters from a young age.
Best described as a Hispanic spit-fire, people are often fooled by her diminutive size, but you should never underestimate a werewolf.
Deadlocked – Excerpt
The three men looked at me, clearly confused by my lack of cooperation, and then Tess stepped out from the doorway. “Certainly, Harry,” she said with a smile.
The goons took one look at all five foot three of her and burst out laughing.
“That’s your back up?” Goon A guffawed. “Oh, I’m soooo scared.” He turned to share a laugh with his buddies and then turned back to face Tess. “Careful sweetheart, you might break a nail. Now quit fucking around and give me the ca-”
With lightning quick, werewolf speed, Tess was in front of the goon, her knee delivering a blow to his groin that would probably leave him choking on his own testicles for a week.

Isaac
Five days to go!
Our next spotlight as we countdown to Deadlocked, is Isaac.
Although they met under rather unusual circumstances and they have a unique relationship, Harry and Isaac have become friends. For his part, Isaac is enjoying a freedom to be himself for the first time in centuries.
Deadlocked – Excerpt
I think I was still smiling stupidly when I arrived back upstairs. Luckily, Isaac was too busy puttering around the kitchen to notice. It had been several months since Isaac moved in, but I still found it a little weird to see a vampire in an apron. You usually don’t associate vamps with homey domesticity, but Isaac loved to cook. He was a real foodie, but his specialty was dessert. His excessive baking was the whole reason I had decided to open the coffee shop.

Bryce
Six days left!
Today’s spotlight as we countdown to the release of Deadlocked, is Bryce. I’ll let Harry explain Bryce, in her own words:
Deadlocked – Excerpt
Bryce was…well, Bryce was a ghost who happened to live in my computer. A computer hacker and online security expert in life, in death he had chosen to hang around, somehow discovering a way to inhabit the World Wide Web via my old POS computer. A POS, piece of shit, it was no more. Thanks to Bryce and his offshore – probably illegally earned – funds, my computer had been upgraded beyond recognition. I wasn’t going to complain though, since it meant I had access to more of the internet than probably Homeland Security did.

Salvador
Seven days until release!
As part of the countdown to Deadlocked‘s release, I’m re-introducing you to some of the main characters in Harry’s world. Today’s spotlight, Salvador.
Salvador Arroyo is the Magister or leader of the Cimmerian (pronounced Ki-MARE-ian). The most powerful vampire in town and a wealthy businessman in the norm community, he is the Kingpin of the underworld and has his fingers in a lot of pies.
Deadlocked – Excerpt
“Salvador, it’s rude to just let yourself into other people’s homes.” I scowled at him and kicked off my shoes. We have a bit of a difference of opinion as to the current ownership of the old firehall I call my home and place of business. Salvador had signed it over to me, after buying it from the original owner, under duress I’m sure. It had been part of a deal that unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond my control and totally orchestrated by Salvador, had fallen through. We had renegotiated the terms, but despite having already given the deed for the building to me, Salvador still considered it his until our new deal’s conditions were met. Since that meant it would be another six months before I was free and clear of him, I was not a happy camper. It also meant that despite being a vampire and uninvited, Salvador could enter my home. Damn vampire loopholes.

One Week to Deadlocked
If you are following Harry’s story, you know that Deadlocked, book three in the Harry Russo Diaries, is set for release on June 6. I’ll be counting down this week with posts featuring some of Harry’s supporting cast.
To start off the countdown, here’s a sneak peek (caution, contains a spoiler from Tooth and Claw):
“Harry, my dear Harry! So marvelous to see you.” Salvador clapped his hands together like a gleeful three year old. “You look wonderful. None the worse for wear I see.” He rose to his feet with the grace of a panther from where he had been sitting on my couch. He took a step towards me and I admit it, I flinched. His smile faltered and was replaced by a calculating look. “Ah, I see. The cat is out of the proverbial bag, is it not?” He looked at Isaac who gave him a Gallic shrug. “Well, then,” Salvador continued, his smile returning, “aren’t you going to greet your father properly?” He held out his arms like he expected me to run and throw myself at him.
“No thanks, I’ll pass.” I stepped back, putting more distance between us. I looked at Tomas, Salvador’s lieutenant and a fellow dhamphir, who had also risen from his seat. His expression was shocked, his normally ruddy Mediterranean complexion pale. I couldn’t help myself and I laughed. “At least I wasn’t the last to know.” Tomas scowled at me. We have a love-hate relationship. We love to hate one another.

Three’s a Charm
It’s release day! Peace and Quiet, the third book of the Yacht Club, is now available for download. Get your copy today! Available on Amazon and Kindle Unlimited.
Welcome to the Yacht Club – Vancouver’s exclusive BDSM club and best-kept secret – where few are asked to play, fewer still invited to stay.
Get your kink on with three short, spicy reads. Each sexy story brings a bit of ink, a lot of kink, topped with a hint of magic. Intended for a mature audience. Explicit language and content.
Peace and Quiet
Pax Lightfoot’s name means peace, but peace is hard to come by these days. Born with the gift to hear the thoughts of others, Pax struggles to make it from day to day without losing her mind – until she meets Tyler that is. Tyler is an oasis of calm in a sea of chaos and Pax finds herself drawn to him. He’s more than she ever imagined, but is she enough for him?
Tyler enjoys the single life. As a member of the exclusive Yacht Club, Vancouver’s most elite invitation-only BDSM club, he has his pick of playmates, all of which share in his particular kind of kink. So why is he attracted to the fiery little red-head? She may have curves in all the right places, but her sweet and innocent demeanor screams vanilla.
Can these two opposites attract?

Hands On
All the men in the Yacht Club series can be described as ‘Hands On’, but no one more so than Tyler. He’s been enjoying the single life for quite some time and has no intentions of changing. Until he meets Pax, that is. There’s just something about the fiery, little red-head that pushes all his buttons.
Peace and Quiet will be available for download on May 23rd.

Peace, Baby
Available May 23
No, it’s not a flashback to the 70’s. Peace, or rather Pax, is the unusual name of my latest heroine in the soon to be released third book of the Yacht Club series. Peace and Quiet will be available for download on May 23rd so if you haven’t checked out the other two novellas in the Yacht Club series, now would be a great time to catch up.

Guess Where I’m Going!
That’s right, I’m heading across the pond to jolly old England for a bit of romp around London with my son. We’re looking forward to seeing the sights. We’re also going to see the Lion King at the famous Lyceum Theatre and take part in the Harry Potter Experience at Warner Brothers studios (which I admit, I might actually be more excited about than the kid).
While I’m gone, I’ve set up a few scheduled posts here, but if you want to follow my adventures, check out my Facebook page and Instagram where I’ll try to post daily.
Cheers!
