About RATED EX
Rules of surviving a breakup:
1. Do avoid your ex like he’s a bill collector
2. Do block his emails and change your phone number if necessary
3. Do bury your head in the sand while you try (and fail) to get over him
4. Don’t talk to him when he shows up while you’re in the middle of the blind date from hell
5. Don’t agree to go home with him when says he needs to talk to you
Let’s hope I don’t come to regret breaking rules four and five within minutes of Mason Cleary swooping back into my life.

Wheel of Fortune is live
My CARDS OF LOVE book, WHEEL OF FORTUNE, is now LIVE! It’s 99c or you can read for FREE with Kindle Unlimited.
Jackson Howell was tall, dark, handsome- and the single most annoying person I’d ever met. Our fathers were best friends, but that didn’t mean a thing to us. It seemed like he lived to prank me, and I always responded with anger.
On the first day of preschool, he’d dumped a pail of sand down the back of my favorite yellow dress. In tenth grade, he started a rumor that I had a virginity pact with Jesus. It took almost the whole year for someone to tell me why no guys ever looked at me. It wasn’t that I wanted to date anyone, but it would’ve been nice not to be avoided like the plague.
When I moved back to our hometown after college, I was ready to turn over a new leaf where Jackson was concerned. It was time to deal with the feelings I had for him. He wasn’t hard to find. Within hours of my return he was serenading me with Rick Astley’s Never Gonna Give You Up at the Olive Garden.
Later that night I turned over the Wheel of Fortune card… and Madam Aria explained that Jackson Howell was my destiny.

On The Way Down is Live!
On The Way Down is LIVE and FREE to read with Kindle Unlimited!!
She was too young.
He was too famous.
Shaelyn Monroe was only seventeen when she met larger-than-life action star, Garrett Riordan.
He thought she was a breath of fresh air.
She thought he was out of her league.
Their attraction was something neither could ignore.
They shouldn’t have worked…
But somehow, they did.
Everything was perfect.
Until it wasn’t.
Could their love survive what happened on the way down- or had it always been too good to be true?

My new book is live and priced a $2.99 for release week or you can read for free with Kindle Unlimited!
Scroll down to read the prologue
Donovan Beckett is a recluse who wants no commitments or entanglements of any kind. He works hard to ensure no one can penetrate the wall he’s carefully constructed around himself—until the day his new neighbor stumbles into him.
It isn’t anything like instant love. Far from it.
Eden Avery doesn’t want to be curious about her neighbor. He’s the most infuriating and closed-off person she’s ever met—not to mention the rudest. She doesn’t want to find the uptight bastard irresistible and she shouldn’t be able to sense the minute he’s within spitting distance, but does. She really shouldn’t fantasize about his hands on her body, but that’s happening too.
They can fight it all they want, but nothing can stop the mutual attraction that’s about to disrupt both of their lives.

Prologue
Donovan
7 years, 6 months, and 14 days ago
Everything and everyone around me is so fucking loud I can barely contain the desire to yell for everyone to be quiet. Shut the fuck up, I think. Shut the fuck up, shut the fuck up, shut the fuck up.
Shut.
The.
Fuck.
Up.
“I’m so sorry.”
I recognize the person as being familiar, but can’t recall exactly how I know them. The words are no different than the dozens of people who have come before, nor are they different from those who will come after. There’s very little variation to what is said.
I nod and say thank you for what feels like the millionth time, which is the sum total of what I’m able to do right now. Nod, say thank you, and blank everything else out. My eyes go to the mahogany grandfather clock against the wall across the room. The brass hands rest on eleven and five, telling me that it’s just before eleven thirty. I look away, surprised to realize I’ve only been standing here for nearly two and a half hours. It feels like it’s been two and a half decades.
When the stink of roses burns my nostrils, I realize I forgot to continue breathing through my mouth. This stench? The roses? If I neversmell anything rose again it’ll be too fucking soon.
“…here if you need us, any time.”
I swallow against the creeping wave of nausea working its way up my throat as I nod and say thank you, again.
“The tragedy is unimaginable. There are no words…”
Then stop fucking talking, I think. I’d kill to be anywhere but here—but I won’t leave. It’s not like there’s anywhere I want to go anyway. There’s no escape, but I don’t know how many more times I can listen to people say I’m praying for you orI’m sorry ormy leastfavorite of all,stay strong.
Stay strong? No. Whatever comes after this, strength is not something I possess. I am nothing but an empty shell with a stubborn heart that continues to beat, even though it should’ve stopped five days ago.
It’s likely that if a bomb went off in the middle of the room, I wouldn’t even blink. The urge to throw something and yell ebbs and flows, but I manage not to give in to the desire to break every piece of antique furniture in the room. Fuck mahogany, fuck cream and gold patterned carpet, and fuck the stupid guest book at the back of the room. Who wants that? There are no mementos needed of this day.
I’m not conscious of moving, yet I must’ve, because now I’m in the back of a limousine.
“Here, drink this.”
I reach out automatically to accept a glass full of dark liquid. Without asking what it is, I bring it to my lips and drain every drop in four giant gulps, only stopping when the ice clatters against my teeth. I think it was a very weak Jack and coke, but I can’t be sure since I didn’t actually taste it. All I know is that it was too light on the alcohol.
“Another.”
“You really shouldn’t—”
“Heavier on the booze this time,” I snap. My voice sounds like I’ve got a throat full of gravel.
After a pause, the glass is handed back to me half full of amber colored liquid. I want to gulp it but force myself not to. Only when this is over and I’ve done everything that’s expected of me will I allow myself to break.

I Need is Live!
It’s happening- I NEED is LIVE and FREE to read in KU.
I’m beyond touched about all of the amazing feedback I’ve been getting about Rafe and Emery’s story. Tons and tons of you have told me that this is your favorite in the Enamorado series so far and I couldn’t be happier! The Cruz brothers sizzle for sure- and Rafe is on FIRE. The comparison I get the most is that he reminds readers of Dante Hart. That’s a great compliment!! And, of course, lots and lots of love for our favorite blue bird. When I conceived of Elvis in I Want I did so thinking that some readers wouldn’t “get” him. I was so, so wrong. There’s even more Elvis in I Need – Emery’s his mom, after all- and the response has been overwhelmingly positive.
Elvis and the Cruz brothers will return in the next Enamorado book, I QUIT, which is Joaquin’s story. So many great things in store for that book, releasing in the Fall of 2018.
She’s single and not ready to mingle.
After the end of a months-long relationship with Mr. All Wrong, Emery Bellerose isn’t looking for love. In fact, it’s the farthest thing from her mind. With the paparazzi camped outside of her house she has no choice but to stay next door with the new neighbors. That’s when Emery meets the man who makes her feel things she never knew she could.
He’s alone and wants to keep it that way.
Four years ago Spanish heartthrob Rafael Cruz’s life crashed and burned in a way he’s never recovered from. With his ability to trust obliterated he vowed to stay single and unattached forever.
But you know what they say about best-laid plans.
What’s supposed to be an uneventful family vacation in Malibu becomes a game changer thanks to Elvis, the meddling peacock no one realizes is playing matchmaker.
