Hi friends, There is snow out there and more on the way and hours and many cups of tea later, I still feel the cold from being out with the cubs making snow castles. Trying to both get everything done this week and slow down… I lean more towards the, “slow down” and things can...

Seriously, thank you for reading.

Working on December’s newsletter, where I have a couple of promotions to share and freebies up for grabs, including my short story, “Christmas with her Grumpy-Grinch”, which features Quinn & Simone and Christmas at their house… this isn’t your Hallmark Christmas (no shade to Hallmark, who doesn’t love a feel good?) but I’m hoping readers...

Release Day For Flame Again! A second chance romance with plenty of heat!

Flame Again, the third book in the Bandit Brothers Series is out today and I am so thrilled to share Gabe & Ivy's story. 
This book is about second chances.
And how even the most loving, committed relationships can grow stagnant.
It's about communication and setting boundaries and adjusting those boundaries when they no longer work. It's about falling in love again.
And trying new things.
And being brave and asking for what you want and facing your past and making choices for your future. Flame Again is a second-chance romance, with lots of angst, plenty of heat and a hard-won HEA. If you want to read the first chapter it can be found here: https://raleighdamson.com/first-chapt... and content warnings can be found here: https://raleighdamson.com/about-the-b... 
If you give Flame Again a read, I hope you find something in it you enjoy!
