Preorder Alert: Last First Kiss
Last First Kiss (A Montgomery Ink Legacy Romance) is percolating in the back of my mind because I’m SO excited to start Daisy’s romance. You met her as a little girl in Fallen Ink and now she’s all grown up, a true Montgomery Knight, and ready to take over the world. That is…after she heels a bit. Her hero? Someone know. Someone with a delicious accent. And someone I cannot wait to write!
You can preorder their romance in eBook for now, but paperback and special edition links are coming soon. Plus sign up for audio alerts when I have the preorder ready for that one too!
Now…what about the tropes?
One Night Stand
Workplace
She’s the Boss
Mistaken Identity
Protector
British Hero with yummy accent
Grumpy/Grumpy with a touch of Sunshine
The Montgomery Ink Legacy series continues with a workplace fling romance that starts off with a literal bang. Daisy Montgomery Knight is about to meet her match when it comes to Hugh Hendrix.
One look across the aisle at a wedding and I fell in lust.
He’s on the bride’s side. I’m on the groom’s.
But by the end of the night, we’re against a wall, over a table…and in bed.
I’m prepared never to see him again except in my memories.
Only the next week things become awkward: I’m his new boss.
And it turns out he’s just as demanding outside of the sheets as beneath them.
We need to stay away from each other—he has his demons and I’m trying to heal after a job gone wrong.
Only I don’t think I walk away…and I don’t know if I want to.

Preorder Alert: Finding the Road to Us
Finding the Road to Us (A Wilder Brothers Romance) is my current WIP and I’m hip deep into the tug and pull and figuring out how three people fall in love with each other. This is Elliot Wilder’s romance, along with Trace (the bodyguard), and Sidney (a new character left at the altar)! I got the idea for the ending of this book from a real life scenario too, so I cannot wait to write it! This also might turn out to be the hottest book I’ve ever written because these three CANNOT keep their hands off each other. And who knew that quiet Trace was such a dirty talker? Also…this is NOT the final Wilder Brothers romance. You’re going to meet the Wilder Cousins in this one!
You can preorder their romance in eBook, paperback, and special edition. Plus sign up for audio alerts when I have the preorder ready for that one too!
Now…what about the tropes?
Friends to Lovers
Jilted Bride
Protector
Poly / Menage / Why Choose
Secret Secrets
Just a Fling
What if I loved you first?
Left at the altar but not forgotten
I was ready to say, ‘I do’, then my fiancé left me at the altar.
Broken and embarrassed, Trace and Elliot helped me run away—ditching my wedding dress in the process.
When I come back to the Wilder Retreat to show the world I’m no longer hurting, I know I must ignore my traitorous needs when it comes to these two men.
Because my body wants them both.
And my soul craves them just as much.
I know I can’t choose, and part of me asks why I should.
Only when we decide to take that chance and share everything, the danger from our pasts refuses to let our choice stand.
With one kiss, one dance into temptation, we could lose everything.
Including our lives.

Preorder Alert: The Montgomery Ink: Fort Collins Collection
Readers have been begging for a box set for the Fort Collins series as they catch up on my backlist and now you don’t have to wait much longer! I LOVE LOVE LOVE these collection covers and I’m so thrilled that you can preorder this collection for a VERY discounted price. Don’t miss out though, because the price goes up to normal at the end of release week! This collection will also release in audio with Aaron Sheldock and Emma Wilder, and will probably do so early, so don’t miss!
About The Montgomery Ink: Fort Collins Collection
The Montgomery Ink Fort Collins series begins with two second chance romances from the heart and have all the heat.
Inked Persuasion
Years ago, Annabelle Montgomery married not for love but for a promise of hope. When she lost him weeks later, she told herself she never needed those sentiments again. Only when she discovers years later that her new neighbor is her late husband’s brother, Annabelle finds she can’t quite shake the emotions she’s long since buried.
Jacob Queen vowed he’d never set eyes on Annabelle again. When they’re forced into each other’s lives once more, they realize that no matter how far they run, no distance can keep them apart forever. More than ghosts lay between them, and when they finally give in to temptation, walking away whole may no longer be an option.
Inked Obsession
When men in uniform showed up on Eliza Wilder-Strong’s doorstep, she knew her life would be irrevocably altered. She not only lost her husband, but the future she’d carefully planned. A year later, she’s looking to start over—beginning with a solo healing vacation. Only she never expects to see a familiar, tempting face along the way.
Beckett Montgomery refuses to want his little sister’s best friend—especially because she’s a widow. Yet there’s no stopping the connection between them. As the temptation to give in intensifies, so do the reasons they shouldn’t stay together.
Painful ghosts from both of their pasts stand in their way and sometimes it’s the living that can haunt you when you’re not looking.

Preorder Alert: Best Friend Temptation
I just turned Best Friend Temptation (A Montgomery Ink Legacy Romance) to my editor and AHHHHH. I really love this book. Sometimes I’ll turn in a book and know that I’m scared and need to change a few things, or know that I’m worried because it’s too close to my heart. But this one? I LOVED writing it. Which means I’m REALLY scared about what y’all with thing! This is a MMF with Noah, Greer, and Ford. Noah is the son of the first triad from Montgomery Ink and I hadn’t even realized it until I was figuring out who he needed to be with! His best friend and the girl next door. AND this book shows off Ford’s siblings and Greer’s siblings. Yep…this book has TWO cross over series coming in 2024 and 2025. I’m that evil haha.

I can’t love you unless I love myself
I can’t stand in your way but I love you both
The Montgomery Ink Legacy series continues with a forbidden romance between two best friends and the woman they both crave. Ford, Noah, and Greer aren’t ready for what happens next.
I fell for my best friend long before I knew what that meant. Only I know he’ll never love me back.
He’s stuck in his head and his past demons and can’t see what is right in front of him.
But when Greer loses her home and needs a place to stay, both Noah and I know the only place she belongs is with us—in every way possible.
Now I’m falling for both of my roommates and trying to keep the people I protect safe.
Only someone is coming for them, and I can’t stop the inevitable fall.
I just have to hope that we made the right choices and that one day soon Noah and Greer will finally see who we can be.
Before we lose it all…or I finally walk away for good.

Preorder Alert: Marked in Flames
This book was so hard to write because I knew it was the last one. Yes, you read that right Marked in Flames is the final book in the Aspen Pack series and the final paranormal romance I’ll be writing for the foreseeable future. That means Steele and Jade’s romance had to be hot, chaotic, and explosive. And I’m pretty sure I made that happen with tears running down my face.

I hold the power of flame and future in my hands, but I know the world is watching. Waiting for us to fall.
The truth and lies that bind the Aspen Pack together are crumbling and I am to bear witness to its fate.
I know the Enforcer of the Aspens is my mate.
Yet neither of us want what fate decrees.
So, we’ll fight side by side and ignore the burning attraction between us.
Only when a traitor rocks the foundation of all we know, we might not have a choice to who we cling to in despair.
The vampires were only the pawns in this war.
The demons are on their way.
And if we’re not careful, the Aspen Pack could lose someone that breaks them.
And I could lose my mate.
Again.

Preorder Alert: Stay Here with Me
Y’all!! I just heard a snippet from the audio on Stay Here with Me (A Wilder Brother Romance) and burst into tears. Meg Sylvan is capturing the heroine perfectly!! Lark is my first singer/songwriter ever and because of that, there are some lyrics and songs I wrote for this book that just…UGH I am so happy right now! And as for East Wilder? Oh boy…his demons are dark. He’s a mess. He’s growly. And he’s the worst sometimes. And I love him. You can preorder in eBook, paperback, and special edition right now.

Stalker On the Prowl
Protector
The Wilder Brothers from NYT Bestselling Author Carrie Ann Ryan continues with a secret romance that East and Lark never saw coming.
The world thinks I only write songs about my ex-boyfriends.
They study each lyric to point a finger at which man broke my heart—even if I’ve never met him.
Only the man I refuse to write about is the one who is so tangled in my mind that I know I can never be with him.
I had one night with East Wilder, and I know that’s all there will ever be.
He broke my heart without even trying.
Yet now I can’t seem to write a single verse and I need a place to hide while I figure out who I am. The Wilder Retreat will have to be my refuge as the Wilders prepare for my best friend’s wedding.
And when I’m there, I refuse to fall for East again.
Even if the dark shadows in his eyes draw me in and the dangers of his past might be the one thing that forces us to finally give in.

He’s hard. Broken.
And a single father to an adorable little girl.
When it turns out he’s my new neighbor, I can’t stay away.
But I know I’m playing with fire and the heat between us burns enough to scorch.
I thought I was over my crush.
But now it might crush me.

It’s time! Harbored in Silence (Aspen Pack Book 4) is now LIVE in Kindle Unlimited, audio, paperback, and hardcover! I love love love love Dara and Cruz. I hope you love them too! Also…a HUGE secret happens that I can finally talk about!
About Harbored in Silence:
A witch on the run who could save the world–or destroy it with one touch
I am who they fear.
The Harvester Death Witch.
The one who holds the power of their fate in my hands.
Or at least…that’s what they whisper.
The coven has fallen. The vampires are circling our den. And if we don’t find new allies, our Pack won’t be able to fight much longer.
On my Alpha’s orders, I must find others who hide beneath the shadows for not only our protection, but theirs as well.
Only I’m not alone on my mission.
I brought Cruz back from death once before, and though I know the goddess forbids it, I’d do it again.
Because he’s my mate.
And my ending.
