Marco and Resort Writing
I'm writing this from a resort in the Woodlands, where my daughter has a photoshoot for Best Buy. They host a photography conference/workshop for amateur and professional photographers to learn and develop their craft. It's really neat to watch all the talent (subject) they brought in for this event!
There were fire dancers, BMX bikers, skateboarders, models, a fashion show, and a famous basketball player. (Don't ask me who he is; I'm literally terrible at that since I don't watch the sport.) I think he plays for the Houston Rockets, but beyond that, I have no idea.
The location is stunning, and instead of sitting my butt in the chair and writing, I've been running around all the events taking pictures and videos with my iPhone. Alas, today, I'm going to sit lakeside and write because, seriously, this book isn't going to write itself!
Now that I've gotten my personal scolding out of the way, let's talk Marco and Victoria's Instalust story. Their public, ahem, scene inspired me to write another, albeit more voyeuristic than public, but with the same general theme.
Aside from the VERY OUTDOOR scene in Sebastian, where they had it in a very steamy hot tub on a bristling cold day—that still gives me delicious flashbacks. This is my first public smeggy book, and I think I'm going to continue it all the way through.
I know y'all will LOVE it!

Marco reminds me of Officer Hamilton
As I continue writing Marco and Victoria's instalust story, it's turning out more spicy and domineering than I planned. Marco took over the reins in their first sex scene by dragging Victoria into the bathroom of a public place and having his way with her. It surprised me as much as it did Vic. 🥵
It reminded me of another dominant guy I wrote last summer and released last September. Hamilton is a police officer, small town, second chance romance that poured out of me. I loved his neverending love for Molli Sitara, his childhood friend, high school girlfriend, and first love.
When she felt lost and adrift in a life that used her up and stole her soul, he was there to save her in more ways than one. He's super caring outside the bedroom and very demanding inside. It's exactly what they both needed to find their way back to each other and repair their broken hearts.
While I'm writing one dom, be sure to read Hamilton and tell me what you think. 😈. Enjoy!

Marco and Victoria's Story is Coming!
Happy Tuesday! Marco and Victoria's story is coming along nicely! I'm so excited about this cute and spicy Latin couple. They are sustainable environmentalist who work on projects for their firms that bring them together. But don't let the meet cute fool you, I've already written a spicy public bathroom scene🔥.
I received the developmental edits back from my wonderful editor, and boy, were she spot on with inconsistencies. She loves Marco and Victoria already! Yay!!
Did y'all have a chance to read Hades and Persephone's story in the anthology, As Fate Would Have It. Like my other dark romance series, it's a slow burn, enemies-to-lovers, and deliciously tantalizing as Hades negotiates her in his bed in exchange for her freedom.
Not to mention that this anthology is over 1K pages of steamy goodness with some F/M, M/M and other spicy couples.

Anthology is LIVE
I can't believe it's September all ready! This year has flown by and I'm not sure I'm ready for this breakneck speed as I have two more books to release and write before 2025❣️ But hey, no pressure - haha.
Y'all really showed up and out for the anthology, As Fate Would Have It. We had such an overwhelming response and so many of you wonderful readers bought, read, reviewed, and posted about it❣️ It's really a lovely feeling reading the reviewing and seeing which stories resonated with you and which were your favorites.
That's the best thing about anthologies, there is always a story or two for everyone!
I'm hard at work on Marco and Victoria's book and sending the first half to my developmental editor today. Then I'll spend the next two weeks blitzing the rest of it to send to my line editor so I can bring it to you faster. The strange thing about this book is that I didn't have any tropes picked out in advance. I don't know why this occurred, I just started to write it.
Once I get the tropes figured out, then I'm going to finish up the cover and do a cover reveal on Instagram and Facebook. So if you don't already follow me there - join in the fun❣️

As Fate Would Have It Releasing in 4 Days!
sustainability and environmental consciousness are cute, but don't let that fool ya? These Latin lovers are spicy hot 🔥
While working on that and plotting my two new series in 2025, I also have the anthology releasing in 4 DAYS❣️
I teamed up with four talented authors for a modern Gods and Goddess retelling anthology, As Fate Would Have It. I chose Hades and Persephone, and I love how their story is coming together. I do have to admit, there is only one small spicy scene, but it sets it up well for how this book will eventually go in 2025.
With this awesome anthology, you get over 1K pages of romance from M/M, F/M, MFM and varying spice levels. There's something for everyone in this book❣️

I have a hot new cub underway!!!
I've been busy writing the next book, Marco, in the Cougars and Cubs Series, and let me tell you, he's so stinkin' cute! He's all environmentally friendly and has a green thumb, which is a shared interest with sustainability-conscious Victoria Vega. But don't let all that homemade granola recipe couple fool ya, they are of Latin origin, passionate, and steamy hot 🔥
This will be the last of the cubs based in Houston as I turn my attention to launching a new series...bikers in Boston. I'm so excited about that series and those guys, that I'm itching to get these stories out of me asap to bring them to you! Yay!!
That being said, have you seen all the promo videos on my Instagram and Facebook about the anthology, As Fate Would Have It releasing in 11 days?
Let me tell you, some of the stories are VERY spicy and there is definitely something for everyone with the five stories in one book. Be sure to preorder now so you have it the morning of August 31❣️

Kadus Releases in 2 DAYS!!!
I'm soooooo excited...Kadus and Bex's story releases in 2 DAYs❣️ I can't wait for you to meet the unapologetically Bex! She's loud, wild, and chaotic, with plenty of toys both in and out of the bedroom to keep Kadus guessing.
She's unapologetically herself and won't even think about softening her edges for anyone, not her parents, not her best friend, and certainly not Kadus.
However, her disciplined and creative backstory is an interesting one...becoming catnip for Kadus, who's nothing but enthralled with her and how she lives her life. Where she's always gotten grief for it, she only finds acceptance in him. Awwww,
It's really the best, and she relishes it, as evidenced in the super spicy epilogue 🔥
Preorder now for it to pop into your reader Thursday morning, just in time for the weekend! 💋

That said, I'm headed ✈️ to Miami for a photo shoot on the beach for my daughter after she meets with various agents. She's a Texas model looking to expand and grow into other markets. I already have Diego plotted and plan to write on the plane since I get bored and can't raw dog it like the current trend is. Plus, I want to have several chapters written before I return❣️

Bikers in Boston!!!
Whew, what a week it's been! Hurricane Beryl crippled Houston's power and resources wise. After being without power for five hot and humid days, it clicked on, but unfortunately, a tree limb from my neighbor's tree crushed my outside AC unit. So, ten hours and several thousands of dollars later, I have a new unit inside and out. Luckily, I was able to bunk with my sister and finish writing the epilogue for Kadus ❣️
And let me warn y'all... it's HOT 🥵 I was like, is this too much? Am I taking it too far? I even sent it over to my editor, asking the same question. That reverse bedroom role is hitting. Alas, I'll let you readers decide if I crossed the line or not.
With Kadus and As Fate Would Have It done and out the door, I've been swapping ideas with my brain trust, and viola, I came up with a fresh round of CUBS, moving to a new city with a shared hobby amongst all four guys.
Drum roll please . . . Bikers in Boston 🏍️ I even have all four cub names picked out and am working on the covers as we speak. I'm so excited to dive into a new world with a fresh batch of Cougars and Cubs!
I'll give you a little preview of my first Boston cub as we wrap up the Houston cubs with Kadus releasing in 15 days!!

Hurricane Beryl and Book Update
Actually, I'm writing this Sunday night as I sit an watch round the clock coverage of Hurricane Beryl which is coming into the Houston area in approximately five hours. With most of these storms, you never know what to expect. Some are wind events, some water, and some are both. Despite this being a Category 1 hurricane, I live between two waterways, 3 houses from a creek, and 6 houses down from the bayou. It's a lovely area with trees that canopy over the road, historic homes mix with new builds and block parties occur quarterly.
However, we're still recovering from the May derecho that sent straight-line winds over 100 mph through the city in a matter of minutes and knocked out power to over 1 million Houstonians. Blue tarps dot many of my neighbors' roofs.
Needless to say, it's been a wild summer so far. Since I was without power for a week due to the derecho, I suspect I'll be without power this time, and I wanted to get this out to you!
Kadus is done and with my editor, releasing August 1, 2024❣️ I celebrated that Friday when I sent it off to her! As Fate Would Have It has been done, edited and is over with the formatter. The story turned out soooo good but a little lighter on the spice.
