Undeniable: a Love Serial--Chapter Six

Hi y'all!I'm back with another chapter of UNDENIABLE. Can I just say? I cannot get enough of these characters. Swoon. I'm so in love with them, and I hope you are too! The votes from last week very much swung in two directions, and although it wasn't quite a tie, they were close enough that I opted to merge them, and I love the result! I hope you enjoy this chapter, and don't forget to cast your vote! I have a feeling next week's chapter is going to end up being quite...frisky, LOL. Happy Rea...

Undeniable: a Love Serial - Chapter Five

Hi y'all! I'm so glad that no one came at me with the pitchforks last week, and I hope you're excited to see what happens next for Devin & Darci. There were a good deal of choices, but let's just say that the polls led me in a very distinct direction...with 85% of the vote! I won't divulge any spoilers yet, but I will say this - I know have a secondary character that I want to write a story for! Okay, otherwise, my lips are sealed. As always, happy reading and I'll see you on the other side!M...

Undeniable: a Love Serial - Chapter Four

Hello everyone! We're on the tail end of Thursday here...this is what happens when you have a Love Serial chapter to write and a book due to your editor...within two days of each other. Eek! (I'm not sleeping tonight. That's all I have to say on that).With that said, I absolutely loved your shock from last week's chapter! And I'm going to tell you from now...the voting at the bottom of this chapter is going to decide the fate of Undeniable as we know it. I have four drastically different idea...

2017 in Review // Looking into 2018

And so the countdown until 2018 begins! As has become tradition, I'm back to look at the previous year in review. What did I accomplish off my goals list? What did I fail epically at? What could be done better? I've made a point in the last two years to be brutally honest with myself, and so proceed ahead with caution: if you want to know the good, the bad, and the ugly of the author life, keep reading.If you want to keep imagining that I shower daily, that my house is in order, and that I'm...

Undeniable: a Love Serial - Chapter Three

Hi there!I am so excited to be back with another week of UNDENIABLE. Things are really starting to heat up, and all I'll say about this chapter is ... I was laughing so hard as I wrote it. All right, before I begin divulging any spoilers, I'll let you read :) Enjoy!Much love,MariaChapter ThreeDevin“I choked.”Our new receptionist, Bethany, swivels in her plush leather chair to face me. With a finger to the bridge of her glasses, she slides the frames down the slope of her nose to the tip—all t...

Undeniable: a Love Serial - Chapter Two

Hi there!Let's just start off by saying ... I see you. Yes, you. How could y'all start me off with a two-way tie??? If this is an indicator as to how the rest of UNDENIABLE is going to go, I'm ready. Nervous but ready, LOL.I won't spoil with which two options won the highest amount of votes, with each pulling 40% of the polls, but I'll reveal that at the end of this chapter.For now, kick back and relax. It's Thursday, which means it's time to visit Devin & Darci :) Much love,MariaChapter TwoD...

Undeniable: a Love Serial - Chapter One

Hello there!Welcome to Week 1 of UNDENIABLE! Eeeep, I'm so excited for this, and I hope that you are too!

I so hope that you enjoy meeting these new characters - the link to the voting will follow our chapter.Happy Reading!Much love,MariaChapter On...

Undeniable: a Love Serial is coming in two days!

BREATHLESS was the highlight of Summer 2017 for me.Sound a little extreme? I promise it's not. BREATHLESS not only gave me the chance to interact with readers, but it also forced me to grow as a storyteller. After all, when you have no idea what's going to happen the next week, and you have a total of three days to figure out how to make a plot point work, that's when the real magic happens.And sometimes the tears. (See above about not knowing what's happening next, LOL).I'm so excited to rel...

Sneak Peek: Tempt Me With Forever

“Where she want it?” he asked, scrubbing his hands in the sink. Owen’s office was large and dominated by black furniture. Leather couch, leather chair, mahogany desk. He’d outfitted the room with a sink for easy access, along with a mini fridge and a microwave. Photographs of some of his best work decorated the walls, and it hadn’t escaped Gage’s notice that his twin had added a few photos of Gage’s work, too.When Owen didn’t answer immediately, Gage slid his eyes over to his brother. “Ankle?...

The recipient of that email? My professor. Naturally. The next da...
