Coming Soon: Take Two!
We have a brand new novella coming out on Monday, March 11!
When a photograph of stuntman Rhys Sutton with actor Thomas Monroe is mistaken for something far more than friendship, Rhys is forced to deal with his family’s belief that he has finally recovered from the death of his husband Andy and is ready to love again. Thomas agrees to pretend to be his boyfriend, but Rhys doesn’t realize Thomas’s feelings for him go far deeper and aren’t a pretense at all. Will Thomas be able to break down the wall Rhys has built around his heart? Or will their relationship flounder on the rock of Rhys’s grief?

We’ve been fortunate that Dreamspinner Press has translated some of our books into French, German, and Italian, so we’ve added a Books in Translation page to our website!
So far, three of our books have been translated: Striking Sparks, Santa’s Naughty Helper, and Fortune’s Slings and Cupid’s Arrows. Hopefully there will be more to come!
We love being able to expand our audience this way, and we hope our readers enjoy these new versions of our books!

Designer Holiday now available!
We have a brand-new holiday story this year, which is now available on Amazon!
It’s never too late for a second chance at love… or is it?
Rayne Sadler left the tiny town of Holiday Pines and his childhood sweetheart, Emilio Rives, to make a name for himself in the world of interior design. For twelve years, he never looked back. Now he has the successful career he wanted, but no one to share his life.
Emilio isn’t happy when Rayne returns to Holiday Pines to renovate the local playhouse. The town wants to stimulate the failing tourist industry, but Emilio has no interest in reviving the ashes of his relationship with Rayne.
Yet shared memories and experiences are powerful things. As the playhouse is restored to its former glory, the friendship between Rayne and Emilio slowly returns as well, and their chemistry is as powerful as ever. Rayne has designs on Emilio’s heart, and he sets out to prove it. Will the magic of Christmas thaw Emilio’s heart, or will it remain as cold as mountain snow?

Quenched in Blood now available!
The third and final book in the Asheville Arcana trilogy, Quenched in Blood, is now available from Dreamspinner Press!
Will love mean rebirth… or death?
In the course of his work with the Asheville Paranormal Council, reclusive three-hundred-year-old vampire Julian Schaden discovers young Thomas Carter, the heir to a long line of demon hunters—a legacy Thomas knows nothing about.
He also knows nothing about the supernatural world or the danger he’s in. As Julian convinces him and later agrees to train Thomas to use his abilities, he struggles against unexpected feelings. Thomas is too young and innocent to become involved with Julian, but opposites attract, and this is one battle Julian is fated to lose….
Julian and Thomas grow closer as the demonic menace advances. A prophecy from a dying mage comes with a bleak warning: to save Thomas’s life, Julian might have to give up the only man he’s ever loved.

Seeking Solace release day!
Seeking Solace is now available from Dreamspinner Press! This is the third book in our Walker Boys series.
All hands on deck for a shipboard romance—with a secret.
Like his cousins, Devin Walker aspires to be a chef, but he wants to indulge his wanderlust while feeding his customers, and working a cruise ship seems like the solution. Since he can’t find an opening in the kitchen, he’s happy to start out in a position behind the bar.
While onboard Poseidon’s Pearl, Devin is assigned to shepherd a visiting executive. Paul Bailey is quiet and unassuming, and a car accident that cost him his leg also shattered his confidence. He doesn’t think he’s attractive to other men anymore, and Devin is eager to show him just how wrong he is. Paul has a surprising secret that might sink their passionate affair before it even leaves port.

Website Tweaks
In the spirit of procrastinating on what I need to be doing, I’ve made a few minor tweaks to our website. The main thing I did was add “Affiliate” links to the sidebar. These are links to some wonderful folks we’ve worked with on our self-published books and whose work we’d highly recommend to other self-publishing authors.
I also used a WordPress widget to change our social media links from text to icons. Overall, nothing major! Just freshening up the place a bit.
While I’m here, I’ll throw out a reminder that our new book in the Walker Boys series, Seeking Solace, is available for preorder now and will be released in just three days on November 6!
