Coming Soon-Fierce Lover

This novelette is the final installment of the Sierra Pride series!

Starla Fournier never thought she’d see her loved ones again, and that included Rourke Mackenzie, her childhood friend. Plagued by guilt and shame from the circumstances surrounding her disappearance, she’s finally reunited with her family. The reunion is tainted by the knowledge that her adoptive pride is anxious for her return. Worst of all, seeing Rourke after all these years will make her question arrangements that have already been set in motion—arrangements that will interfere with their chance to be together.

A wolf shifter, Rourke Mackenzie has spent the last eighteen years trying to forget Starla. He finds absolution in the flames he battles as a firefighter, in the bottom of a bottle, and in the arms of a long string of one-night-stands. When he finally sees Starla again, the wolf inside of him wants nothing more than to claim her as his, but his human side can’t ignore the betrayal of her disappearance. Just when he thinks they’ll be able to resolve their differences, a dangerous shifter steps forward to claim her. Rourke will have to act fast in order to protect his mate.

Due to be released on December 7th, Fierce Lover is available for pre-order now at Amazon and AmazonSmile.

Three Recent Loves

The Goal, by Elle Kennedy

As a fan of this series, I already had high expectations for the book. Kennedy did not disappoint, delivering the fantastic, witty banter, the FEELS (ohmygosh the feels), and a super satisfying story. I love a book that makes me laugh out loud, and the Off-Campus books definitely do this. The Goal stands alone, but I believe it would be a lot more fun to read the books in order.

Book 1 is The Deal.

Apples Should Be Red, by Penny Watson

This was a short book, but a powerful one. The hero and heroine are older, with grown children of their own. Very set in their ways, I’d say this might fall into the “enemies to lovers” category, although I don’t see a whole lot of the insult trading or passive aggression that I often see in stories with that trope. Overall, this book was very sweet, very refreshing, and the ending made me absolutely giddy.

I’ll definitely be checking for other books by Penny Watson.

Smut, by Karina Halle

When I saw this was on sale for 99 cents, I snatched it up. As an indie writer, I had to check it out–the heroine and hero get together to write erotic romance. I mean, how freaking meta is this? While I didn’t think all depictions of the business side of things were entirely realistic, the feelings between the characters totally were, and this book, also, had a scene where I laughed so hard that I cried.

If you’re interested at all in publishing and writing, I highly recommend this one. I also recommend it if you like a good, sexy story with humor and heart.

Liza Street and the Case of the Missing Link

I kept wondering why so many people were visiting my Free Book Page, but my mailing list service wasn’t notifying me of new subscribers.

It’s because I made a new image to click on for grabbing those free books, and I forgot the link to the mailing list!

So here’s the link ( http://eepurl.com/bWen1H ), and it’s also in TWO places where it belongs on the Free Book Page! Many apologies to anyone who tried to join but went away frustrated.

In the Writing World…

So, Book 6 in the Sierra Pride series is nearly out in the world. Book 7 is in the final formatting stages, and I’m revising Book 8 (THE FINAL BOOK! EEEEE!) with the help of some generous critique partners. (Also, if you haven’t read Book 1 yet, it’s free pretty much everywhere. Click here for Amazon, or here for iTunes, B&N, or Kobo!)

 

I’ve also recently taken on a new ghostwriting project. I can’t give details, obviously, but I can say that it’s paranormal and very much something I’d want to read. Those kinds of writing projects are the best.

The other thing going on is I’m developing my next series! It’s set in the Sierra Pride world, but features new characters (and some old ones as well). I don’t want to say too much yet because this is in the very early stages, but I can say that I’m really excited about it and I hope I get to share more soon!

Fierce Informer Cover Reveal

You know how this goes–description first!

Justine Fournier has worked hard to gain the trust of the Corona Pride. Because they’ve been burned by espionage in the past, she needs to be especially tactful when hunting for clues to her sister’s disappearance. But the eldest brother’s return interferes with her snooping—Mateo watches her every move, and he asks too many questions. Homesick for her own pride, she struggles to convince herself that the all-encompassing, slow-burn attraction she feels for Mateo is merely pesky and, most likely, fleeting.

Mateo Corona can tell that Justine is up to something. Following her around to confirm his suspicions isn’t exactly a hardship—he’d follow her cute little butt pretty much anywhere. Control has always been his motto, but he thinks Justine’s trying to steal his control along with his family’s wealth. Even worse, she’s also stealing his heart.

And now the cover!Fierce Informer will be out in October. Right now it’s available for pre-order on Amazon!
