SAY I DO – 9/29/20
Tomorrow is the big day! SAY I DO releases on 9/29/20! Dex’s story is almost here…
She hates him.
Dexter Ryan is smug. Arrogant. Manipulative. And he is also…Lacey Amari’s new partner. Well, her partner on one case. A case she doesn’t even want to take, but when Dex—CIA super operative and all around puppet-master—basically blackmails her, she has no choice. Then he asks her the big question…
Will you marry me?
The proposal isn’t real. It’s just an undercover assignment. Dex needs Lacey to be his fake fiancée for a case. Not exactly her dream job. But, she’ll do it. He wants her to pretend to be head over heels in love with him, he wants her help on a dangerous investigation in a remote ski lodge, and he…wants her?
Their desire isn’t pretend.
Dex doesn’t work well with others and handling a case with a partner in close proximity—as in 24/7 close—isn’t his normal style. He’s pulled Lacey into the investigation because she is smart and resourceful, and maybe because he knows a secret about her that could prove to be very useful to him. After all, Dex uses people all the time. It’s his thing. Yet the more he is around her, the idea of using Lacey suddenly doesn’t seem like such a good plan. But getting her into his bed? Stellar idea.
He wants her, but so do the bad guys.
The attraction between Dex and Lacey burns red-hot, hot enough to melt the snow around them. Except, just as he planned, Lacey’s presence draws in the enemy. Now the bad guys are after her, and Dex has to stick even closer to her. He’s playing the role of the obsessed lover, only it’s not just a role. Because for the first time in his life, Dex is falling hard. He’s losing his control.
He’s lied. He’s cheated. He’s about to give up his heart.
When Lacey finds out the secret he’s known, her rage and pain break his heart. Dex has to find a way to make things up to her, and he has to stop the enemies who are closing in. Nothing he can’t handle. Maybe. Dex is a master multi-tasker—most days, anyway. Dex will use every trick in his very large arsenal to win this case. Lacey melted the ice around what the whole world knows is Dex’s very, very cold heart, and Dex will fight like hell to protect her and to prove to her that even master spies can fall in love.
Author’s note: Dex loves playing games. Some would even say he enjoys playing with other people’s lives, but this time…it is Dex’s life on the line. His life and his heart. The longer his pretend engagement to Lacey lasts, the longer Dex finds himself longing for the real deal. Prepare for lies, tricks, dangerous enemies, and romance hot enough to melt some heavy snow…Dex’s story will burn like fire and things will get WILDE.

PUT A SPELL ON ME
Surprise! I’ve got a witchy re-release for you!
I’ve mentioned before that I have recently gotten the rights back to some of the paranormal romances that I originally published with Kensington–well, the first story is revised and ready to read once again!
PUT A SPELL ON ME was originally released in September 2008 as part of the EVERLASTING BAD BOYS anthology (back then, the novella had the title of SPELLBOUND). I’ve revised and updated the novella, and now, Luis is all set to take you on a sexy supernatural adventure. You’re not afraid of monsters, are you? Because the creatures that hide in the dark aren’t always bad. Sometimes, they’re just…hot.
She’s desperate…
Serena Tyme is a witch in trouble, serious trouble. The kind of trouble that gets you killed. Someone is trying to bind her powers and make her helpless. Since she’s not in the mood to be helpless, Serena works a dark spell and summons a very unlikely protector…
He hunts. He kills. He lives forever.
Luis D’Amil isn’t your typical good guy. Mostly because he’s not good. He’s an immortal soul hunter. He has all the powers of a demon and the strength of a witch, and he doesn’t bow to anyone’s command. He’s the boogeyman, the creature that people always fear in the dark.
She thinks that because she summoned him, she can control him. She’s wrong.
No one can control Luis, but he does agree to help Serena. Mostly because the idea of anyone hurting her enrages him. After centuries of being alone and feeling nothing, the feisty witch has managed to break past his defenses. So, yes, he’ll help her. He’ll find the enemies trying to destroy her, but there will be a price.
The price is her. Luis intends to claim his witch…and keep her, forever.
Provided, of course, he can convince Serena to give her heart to a man who destroys souls…
Who said life was easy?
Author’s Note: Luis D’Amil is dangerous, gorgeous, and, yes, he might be on the bad side, but even soul hunters can fall in love. Well, maybe. When he meets Serena, Luis knows that he will never be able to let her go. This is a short and steamy novella (32,000 words) of paranormal romance. Lust comes fast and first, but hold on tight because the danger will soon follow. Don’t worry, there’s a HEA. I got you covered. Spooky spell casting, sizzling scenes, and hot romance. Bam.

THE HEART YOU BREAK – .99 Sale!
For a limited time, you can get THE HEART YOU BREAK for just .99!
Ready for sin and rock? Because Bran is one sexy singer, and Julia is a bodyguard who will do anything to protect her man. But as Bran falls for Julia, as the lies twist around them, things are going to become wild and dangerous. No cliff-hangers. HEA guaranteed. So have fun and rock on!
Her new client is the bad boy of rock.
Security agent Julia Slate is going undercover. Her assignment? Protect rocker Bran Copper. He’s sexy, has a reputation for living life to the extreme, and he’s also the target of one very obsessed fan. Julia’s job is to keep Bran safe…and the catch? Bran can’t know that she’s his bodyguard. Bran’s manager has hired her because the star refuses to get protection. Bran just wants to be left alone. With his stalker escalating, that isn’t an option.
It should be easy to keep him at arm’s length.
Julia pretends to be Bran’s new assistant as she moves into his mountain home. She acts shy and reserved, a delicate flower who isn’t a threat…when she can totally kick butt any day of the week. She will stay with Bran twenty-four, seven, and make sure he’s safe. It’s supposed to be business only, and there is no way the guy is her type. He’s everything that she doesn’t want in a lover. Right? But…the more time they spend together, the more she realizes that the bad boy? It’s just an image he projects. There is a whole lot more to the real man.
But she’s lying to him.
Bran has been betrayed over and over again, and now Julia is lying to him, too. She thought her lies didn’t matter. She thought she was keeping him safe, but she never expected to give her heart to the man she’s been hired to protect.
He’s never met anyone like her.
Bran’s new assistant is gorgeous, smart, and…making him crazy. He’s used to women throwing themselves at him, used to people not caring about who he is—just that he’s famous. But Julia isn’t like that. She touches something inside of him, she makes him want, makes him crave everything that he’s never had. Soon Bran can’t imagine ever letting her go. He needs her, he wants her, and what Bran wants…he gets.
As the threats keep mounting, as the stalker closes in, will Bran be able to forgive Julia when he learns the truth? Or will they crash and burn? Because THE HEART YOU BREAK…it could be the one that matters most.
