Thank you everyone for making the release of The Mogul and the Muscle so amazing!!
I came as close to dumping my bike as I ever had when I skidded to a stop next to a Bluewater security vehicle. It was still pouring, the heavy rain making her entire driveway an enormous puddle. I pushed down the kickstand, pulled off my helmet, and Cameron’s front door flew open.⠀
She ran outside in a short white shirt and silky striped pajama pants. Dropping my helmet to the ground, I swung my leg over the seat of my bike and caught her right as she crashed into me.⠀
Her arms flew around my neck, her bare toes barely staying on the ground. I wrapped my arms around her, one hand splayed across her back, the other holding the back of her head. Relief poured through me as her body pressed against me. Thank god she was okay.⠀
Cameron made no move to let go, so I didn’t either. The rain pelted us with fat drops, soaking her hair and her clothes. I was already wet through, but I didn’t care. I’d stand here in the storm until I got struck by lightning if it meant I could keep holding her like this.

Jude Ellis is the perfect counterpart to the feisty aerospace mogul, Cameron Whitbury. I positively melted over these two <3. ⠀
The Mogul and the Muscle is available now! FREE to read with Kindle Unlimited.

A new scandal.
Can we talk about the amazingness that is Lucy Score's The Price of Scandal for a minute?
I was lucky enough to get my hands on an early copy of Lucy's Bluewater Billionaires novel and OMG. It's SO good.
Emily is struggling to hold together the quickly unraveling strands of her life. Sure she's a genius with a lot of zeroes in her bank account. But she also has a dysfunctional family, a multi-billion dollar company to run, and now a public scandal.
Derek is seriously one of the most swoony and charming heroes EVER. GAH! Slight British accent. Calls Emily "love." He's smooth and witty and you're absolutely going to fall head over heels for him.
Have I mentioned the heat level? SCORCHING.
This book is fun, funny, heartfelt, and steamy. You'll be on the edge of your seat. And the ending? Oh my swoon.
Seriously, you guys, this book is all the things. You're going to love it.
The Price of Scandal releases tomorrow, 9/27!

The Biggest Hero I've Ever Written... oh and a giveaway.
I have 5 signed paperbacks of The Mogul and the Muscle, my steamy romcom releasing October 11, 2019, up for grabs!
Easy entry ➯ http://bit.ly/2lPorVv
“𝗜 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝗮𝗻’𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗺𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝗺𝗲, 𝗰𝗼𝗰𝗼𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝘀𝗮𝗳𝗲𝘁𝘆. 𝗜 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗜 𝗱𝗶𝗱𝗻’𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝗯𝗿𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮 𝗳𝗲𝘄 𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀. 𝗜 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗹𝗲𝘁 𝗵𝗶𝗺 𝗯𝗲 𝗺𝘆 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲. 𝗠𝘆 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. 𝗠𝘆 𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗲𝗹𝗱.”
Cameron Whitbury—billionaire aerospace mogul—can engineer her way out of any problem. Sure, she’s living with the threat of a potential sex scandal thanks to her lying ex. And that attempted mugging in her parking garage might not have been a random attack.
But she’s totally got this. Sacrifice her privacy to an overprotective bodyguard? No thanks. She doesn’t need a six-foot-five, motorcycle-riding, square-jawed, hazel-eyed man-beast shadowing her every move.
Jude Ellis—one-man security operation and professional problem solver—is ready to retire from the cloak and dagger stuff to live a normal life. He doesn’t need another client. Not even one with coppery-red hair and mile-long legs who looks hot AF in a sexy pair of heels.
To appease her worried friends, Cameron hires Jude as her bodyguard. And despite their feisty banter and their rampant—and totally inappropriate—sex fantasies, they’re both determined to keep it professional.
But as the danger to Cameron escalates, the heat simmering between them just might combust.

FREE in Prime Reading for a Limited Time
If you have an Amazon Prime membership but haven't taken the leap and subscribed to Kindle Unlimited now is a great time to grab book 1 of my Miles Family series, Broken Miles, for FREE!
If you have a Kindle Unlimted subscription Broken Miles will not show up for you as a "Prime Reading" book.
For more information about how "Prime Reading" works and to subscribe to the Prime Newsletter from Amazon head HERE.
“She was unraveling me, slowly but surely. I could feel it happening. Like she was gently unbuttoning the collar of a shirt that fit too tight.”
We had our chance. We crashed and burned.
So why does seeing Zoe again make me want to drag her into the wine cellar and f*ck her until neither of us can see straight?
I’m only home because my family needs my help—and dealing with my crazy brothers is complicated enough. But seeing her again dredges up feelings I can’t ignore. There’s hurt, and regret. But also desire. So much desire. I shouldn’t want her like this, but there’s something there I can’t deny.
Something unfinished.
The truth is, we broke each other’s hearts. Maybe we’re the only ones who can put them back together.
**Each book in the Miles Family series ends with a romantic HEA, but there is an ongoing subplot that spans the entire series.**
