Goddess-Blessed #3 and werewolves on Wattpad

The next Goddess-Blessed book wasn't supposed to come out until later next spring, but I had an idea for a holiday story set in this universe, and...it hasn't gone away, even though I tried showing it all my other works in progress as a deterrent. So look for the next book in the series, a standalone novella featuring new characters (and a new goddess!) on November 8! It doesn't have a final title, a cover, or any of that good stuff yet, but I can tell you it's the M/M, semi-satirical, kind o...

Hot firefighter anthology, releasing tomorrow

This summer I had the incredibly fun opportunity to co-edit and contribute a story to Hot Hands for Hire: Eight Romances to Make You Sizzle, a sexy contemporary anthology featuring firefighters who work as handymen and -women on the side. My story, Need a Hand?, features hapless firefighter Damian running over a cute nerd who's trying to rescue a three-legged cat. Hospitals, hand innuendos, and hijinks ensue. :) I had a great time writing it, and I hope you enjoy reading it! (There's an exce...

New story on Wattpad -- check it out!

Regency romances are incredibly fun to write, don't get me wrong. Waistcoats, and carriages, and marriages of convenience, and snarky butlers (I'm about ten thousand words into Once a Gentleman, the series follow-up to Like a Gentleman, and the butler in that one is snarky as hell. Murderous, too!). I've been having a great time writing the Goddess-Blessed series, also, which takes place in an alt-Regency world where pagan gods are in charge of an England-like place with a few key difference...

The Replacement Husband is now in paperback

The Replacement Husband is now available in paperback on Amazon, I'm happy to announce. A few readers wrote to me to ask about a print version of this book, so here you go! I'm also working on a paperback for The Reluctant Husband, but print formatting (especially making sure everything lines up with Amazon's requirements) is a pain and a half, so that may not be out for another few weeks.

In other news, I'm contemplating a third book in this series, so keep an eye out for an announcemen...

The Reluctant Husband: releasing tomorrow!

The Reluctant Husband is coming out tomorrow, June 7, for sale on Amazon and in Kindle Unlimited. I love this book, even though I wrote it and I've been staring at it in various forms for months (and any author can tell you, by the time a book's ready for release we're more than ready to let it go!). Tom did his level best to screw everything up for his brother in The Replacement Husband , and now he has a chance to screw everything up for himself . . . even odds on whether he succeeds....

Upcoming release: The Reluctant Husband

Disowned, disgraced, and with nowhere to turn, Tom Drake is willing to barter anything — even himself — for a reprieve from starvation and despair. Years spent lying to protect his secrets have left him longing for someone to value him, even if it’s only for his body and the blessing of his patron goddess.

Mal Leighton’s cousin and heir is dying. Only a miracle can save him — and if a miracle doesn’t appear, Mal’s damn well going to create one. Marrying Tom for his blessing is his last d...

Chapter Four
The morning after the Drakes’ visit, Owen’s smallest actions took on a tinge of the sublime. The sun rose in a glory of pink and coral, shining beneficently just for him. He didn’t simply get out of bed and dress; he floated, his clothing seeming to settle...
